Participação dos androgênios adrenais na síndrome dos ovários policísticos

Abstract: the use of multiple endocrine parameters showed a high prevalence of biochemical hyperandrogenism in patients with PCOS. Two thirds of the patients had adrenal hyperandrogenism, and estradiol and insulin did not influence adrenal secretion.

“…Previous studies suggest that there is a causal relationship between ovarian cyst formation and adrenal androgen excess (10,11). In adolescents and young women, ovarian cyst formation is more common when there is an increased adrenal androgen concentration, as in polycystic ovary syndrome and CAH due to nonclassical 21-OHD (3,12). The nonclassical form of 21-OHD, as opposed to the classical form, is particularly associated with ovarian cysts because of the long period of nontreatment with resultant androgen excess before diagnosis.…”

“…In these cases, the excess ovarian and adrenal androgen probably disrupts the cyclicity of the gonadotropin release or directly affects the ovary itself, thereby leading to the formation of ovarian cysts. Unlike the salt-losing form of 21-OHD CAH, the non-classical type is more commonly associated with ovarian cysts because of the delayed diagnosis and long periods without treatment (3,10).…”
