Statistical analysis was performed using the GraphPad Prism 6.0. The continuous variables are expressed as mean ± SD; the significant differences obtained in PCOS subjects and controls were calculated and compared using ANOVA. * P value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Values are expressed * P < 0.05, # P <0.01, and $ P < 0.001. 2-h PG: postload 2-hour glucose; FBS: fasting blood glucose; n: number; PRL: prolactin; Sl No.: serial number
