Acth stim test. results of rise of cortisol and 17-0hp normal. what causes moderate elevation of androstenedione, slight elevation testosterone?

Obesity: and insulin resistance, possibly PCOS are the most common, but you need to discuss w/your doctor. Ask about possible use of metformin to lower insulin resistance and spironolactone to lower testosterone. Plus you need diet, exercise and weight loss.
