Etiology & Pathopysiology What we think we know. • “Vicious cycle” • Abnormal gonadotropin secretion – Excess LH and low, tonic FSH • Hypersecretion of androgens – Disrupts follicle maturation – Substrate for peripheral aromatization • Negative feedback on pituitary – Decreased FSH secreation • Insulin resistance, Elevated insulin levels
