CONTEXT: Adult women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have decreased GnRH pulse generator sensitivity to progesterone (P)-mediated slowing. This defect is androgen mediated because it is reversed with androgen receptor blockade. Adolescent hyperandrogenism often precedes PCOS.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate GnRH pulse generator sensitivity to P-mediated slowing in normal and hyperandrogenic girls.
DESIGN: We conducted a controlled interventional study.
SETTING: The study was conducted in a general clinical research center.
PARTICIPANTS: A total of 26 normal control (NC) and 26 hyperandrogenic (HA) girls were studied.
INTERVENTION: Frequent blood sampling was performed for 11 h to assess LH pulse frequency before and after 7 d of oral estradiol and P.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: We measured the slope of the percentage reduction in LH pulse frequency as a function of d 7 P (slope).
RESULTS: Overall, Tanner 3-5 HA subjects were less sensitive to P-mediated slowing than Tanner 3-5 NC (slope, 4.7 +/- 3.4 vs. 10.3 +/- 7.7; P = 0.006). However, there was variability in the responses of HA subjects; 15 had P sensitivities within the range seen in NC, whereas nine were relatively P insensitive. The two groups had similar testosterone levels. Fasting insulin levels were higher in P-insensitive HA girls (39.6 +/- 30.6 vs. 22.2 +/- 13.9 microIU/ml; P = 0.02), and there was an inverse relationship between fasting insulin and P sensitivity in HA girls (P = 0.02). Tanner 1-2 NC had lower testosterone levels and were more P sensitive than Tanner 3-5 NC (slope, 19.3 +/- 5.8; P = 0.04).
CONCLUSIONS: Hyperandrogenism is variably associated with reduced GnRH pulse generator sensitivity to P-mediated slowing during adolescence. In addition to androgen levels, insulin resistance may modulate P sensitivity.
