Which of the following hormones is increased in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome?

Which of the following hormones is increased in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome? Correct Answer Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

CONCEPT: 

  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age.
  • Women with PCOS may have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or excess male hormone (androgen) levels.
  • The ovaries may develop numerous small collections of fluid (follicles) and fail to regularly release eggs.

EXPLANATION:   

  • Women with Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often have high levels of LH secretion.
  • High levels of LH contribute to the high levels of androgens (male hormones such as testosterone), and this along with low levels of FSH contributes to poor egg development and an inability to ovulate.

Hence, the correct answer is Luteinizing Hormone (LH).
