a. estrogen deficit.
b. genetic cancerous mutations.
c. cortisol excess.

ANS: D
Glucose intolerance/insulin resistance (IR) and hyperinsulinemia often run parallel and markedly aggravate the hyperandrogenic state, thus contributing to the severity of signs and symptoms of PCOS. Estrogen levels are elevated with PCOS. Cancer is not associated with the lab findings of PCOS. Cortisol levels are not elevated in PCOS.
