Which of the following statements accurately describes the pathogenesis of polycystic ovarian syndrome?

Question 28 options:

Excessive androgens that affect follicular decline by suppressing apoptosis, enabling follicles, which normally disintegrate to survive

A disorder of the anterior pituitary that increases the release of FSH, which reduces the release of LH

Testosterone that stimulates androgen secretion by the ovarian stroma and reduces SHBG indirectly
