Regulation of circulating CTRP-2/CTRP-9 and GDF-8/GDF-15 by intralipids and insulin in healthy control and polycystic ovary syndrome women following chronic exercise training

Table 3 Effect of exercise on CTRP2, CTRP9, GDF-8 and GDF-15 levels

CTRPs & GDFs	Control Subjects (N = 9)	P-value	PCOS Subjects (N = 10)	P-value
CTRP-2, ng/mL	0.02 (− 0.27, 0.32)	0.85	0.19 (− 0.18, 0.56)	0.28
CTRP-9, ng/mL	−2.88 (−31.17, 25.42)	0.82	−2.31 (−14.72, 10.09)	0.68
GDF-8, ng/mL	−1.03 (−1.99, − 0.06)	0.04	−1.54 (−2.91, − 0.17)	0.03
GDF-15, ng/mL	− 0.01 (− 0.16, 0.14)	0.84	0.03 (− 0.19, 0.25)	0.75

The data are expressed as the difference between the values after and before exercise expressed as mean and (95% CI)
CTRPs C1Q/TNF related proteins, GDFs Growth differentiation factors
Student’s paired t-test was done to determine the significant difference within control and PCOS subjects respectively
