Comparison of concentrations of lipid profiles between follicular fluids (FF) and serum within the same IVF cycle and individual patients. Data points of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoproteins cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoproteins cholesterol (HDL-C) and free fatty acids (FFA) in FF () and serum () obtained from the full cohort are shown for individual patients. The levels of the lipid profiles were measured using ELISA. ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, lipid profile levels from serum compared to follicular fluids (Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test)
