Ovarian HMW adiponectin is associated with folliculogenesis in women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Table 2 The correlation between HOMA-IR and total and HMW adiponectin and the number of follicles and larger follicular diameters among the women with and without PCOS undergoing IVF

Variable	HOMA-IR
Variable	Correlation	P
Number of follicles	−0.784	<0.001
Larger follicular diameters	−0.445	0.049
Total adiponectin in FF	−0.759	<0.0001
HMW adiponectin in FF	−0.726	<0.0001
Total adiponectin in serum	−0.586	0.007
HMW adiponectin in serum	−0.763	<0.0001

P-value for Spearman’s correlation tests.
HMW - high molecular weight, FF-follicular fluid, HOMA-IR - homeostasis model assessment - insulin resistance index.
