Insulin Resistance and Women's Reproductive Health
Insulin resistance affects up to 12% of women in the US, directly impacting fertility. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a metabolic problem, and insulin resistance plays a key role. The hormonal interplay between estrogen, testosterone, and ovulation is vital for reproductive health. PCOS involves insulin resistance, and its metabolic component is crucial.
