Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome By Bethany Stricker I. What PCOS Is
... Pathologically, 80% of women with PCOS have hyperinsulinemia where they overproduce insulin. This leads to insulin resistance over time which in turn stimulates the production of androgens, like testosterone, in the ovaries. It is not known why the ovaries produce more androgens when more insulin is ...
