  1. aResults of follicular fluid samples for 6 cases (4 in women with LB group, and 2 in their counterparts) showed minimally than detected levels that were attributed to an error in sampling or storage. So, leptin values for these 6 cases were computed through the linear interpolation method for missed data calculation.
