Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy metabolomics profiling of carbohydrates, short-chain fatty acids, ketone bodies, and glycerol, as a function of group of subjects, obesity, and their interaction. Data are arbitrary units and are expressed as means ± SEM. Green symbols are control women; orange symbols are people with PCOS; and red symbols are control men. Squares are non-obese subjects and circles are obese people. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 for the differences among groups of subjects regardless of obesity; p < 0.05, ‡‡p < 0.01 and ‡‡‡p < 0.001 for the differences among non-obese and obese people, regardless of the group of subjects; §p < 0.05, §§p < 0.01 and §§§p < 0.001 for the interaction between obesity and group of subjects
