a: significantly different from the obese PCOS group and the nonobese PCOS group ( < 0.05). b: significantly different from the obese PCOS group and controls ( < 0.05). c: significantly different from the nonobese PCOS group and controls ( < 0.05). Values are expressed as mean ± SD. Statistical significance was defined as  < 0.05. FGS: Ferriman–Gallwey score.
