dependent processes in your body (such as regulating the liver's production of
blood sugar and fat). When you are insulin resistant, your pancreas gland
produces extra insulin to counter the impaired related functions which in turn
causes "hyperinsulinemia," - an abnormally high level of insulin in the blood.
This leads to a vicious cycle where the excess insulin causes the cells to
become even more insulin resistant.
As your pancreas becomes exhausted from producing large higher amounts
of insulin, it starts producing less and less insulin, thus causing blood sugar
levels to go out of control.
With regard to PCOS, ovarian cysts and hormonal imbalance, chronically high
levels of insulin stimulate ovarian androgen production, causing excessive
production of testosterone and other male hormones by reducing serum sex-
hormone binding globulin (SHBG), that worsen PCOS symptoms.
While there is a genetic predisposition to develop insulin resistance, poor
nutrition, dietary habits and too much body fat can greatly contribute to insulin
resistance and thus worsen PCOS symptoms and hinder the body’s ability to
eliminate ovarian cysts.
Failed Ovulation Process And Ovarian Cysts
In the presence of certain metabolic/hormonal disorders, the follicles migrate
to the surface of the ovary but fail to mature (release an egg). When this
distorted ovulation process occurs, ovarian cysts develop.
This occurs mainly because progesterone isn’t made.
In a normal ovulation process, the egg is released and the remaining sac part
of the follicle transforms into corpus luteum. The corpus luteum then produces
progesterone that stops further ovulations by the rest of the follicles in both
ovaries. The rest of the follicles then gradually dissolve.
