RESUMEN

El síndrome de ovarios poliquísticos es la enfermedad endocrina más frecuente en la edad reproductiva; se caracteriza por alteraciones menstruales, hiperandrogenismo clínico o bioquímico e identificación ultrasonográfica de quistes ováricos. Las alteraciones neuroendocrinas y metabólicas que lo acompañan implican desensibilización del eje hipotálamo-hipófisis-ovario, esteroidogénesis e hiperandrogenismo. Recientemente se ha explorado el papel de la resistencia a la insulina. Se ha establecido que la principal causa del síndrome de ovarios poliquísticos es el hiperandrogenismo, debido a alteraciones enzimáticas en la vía esteroidogénica, por lo que existe sobreestimulación por parte de la hormona luteinizante a causa de los pulsos rápidos generados por la hormona liberadora de gonadotropinas. Diversos factores de crecimiento y citocinas inhiben la conversión de andrógenos a estrógenos. En la desregulación característica de este síndrome también están involucradas la activina y las prostaglandinas e, incluso, altos niveles de insulina.
