Part 3/9:
Research proposes that rapid pulsations of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus might cause an imbalance between luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This imbalance ultimately leads the ovaries to overproduce androgens. Additionally, abnormalities in adrenal function may exacerbate this condition, as insulin resistance becomes part of a vicious cycle where elevated insulin levels stimulate further androgen release.
