摘要
Context: Hyperinsulinemia can lead to pathologic ovarian growth and androgen production. Case Description: A 29-year-old woman developed an autoantibody to the insulin receptor (type B insulin resistance), causing extreme insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. Testosterone levels were elevated to the adultmale range. Treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog led to normalization of testosterone, despite persistent extreme insulin resistance. Conclusions: This case demonstrates that gonadotropins are necessary for insulin to cause pathologic ovarian androgen production. Suppression of gonadotropins with GnRH analogs may be a useful therapeutic option in patients with severe hyperandrogenism or ovarian enlargement because of hyperinsulinemia.
