This enhanced steroidogenesis is known to be originated by various inter-related mechanisms mediated by IR and pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, the over-expression of adrenocorticotropic hormone, and lowering of sex hormone-binding globulin levels [46]
