A member asked:
In pcos patients can high bioavailable testosterone cause high lh, or does the high lh cause bio test to increase? insulin, total testosterone normal.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Testosterone: testosterone production in females in mostly from the theca cells of the ovarian cortex, stimulated by LH from the pituitary. High testosterone may feedback to suppress LH, but not the other way around. The amount of available (free) vs. bound is not directly influenced by LH.
