Endocrine-Metabolic Causal Loop Mechanistic Model

Click nodes to inspect how hyperinsulinemia alters ovarian steroidogenesis and halts follicle maturation.

Hyperinsulinemia Insulin Resistance ↑ HOMA-IR Ovarian Theca Cells CYP17A1 Stimulation + LH synergy Free Androgens ↑ Free Testosterone ↓ Hepatic SHBG Follicular Arrest Antral String of Pearls Anovulation Root-Cause Target Muscle Glycogen Uptake Inositol & Fiber
Pathology Context: Elevated fasting insulin acts as a direct co-gonadotropin on ovarian theca cells, upregulating androgen biosynthesis while suppressing hepatic SHBG. Simply prescribing oral contraceptives creates a chemical withdrawal bleed without treating ovarian insulin sensitivity.
