Abstract
This study investigated the ovarian control of LH responsiveness to GnRH in anovulatory women with the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It is suggested that the enhanced pituitary sensitivity of LH secretion to GnRH in anovulatory women with PCOS is not due to a reduced production but rather to a defect in the interaction of ovarian factors on the hypothalamic-pituitary system.
