It also explains why simply lowering insulin resistance whether through weight loss, metformin, or, hypothetically, an incretin-based agent can improve both the metabolic and the reproductive dimensions of the syndrome: reducing hyperinsulinemia lowers the drive to ovarian androgen production and restores some SHBG, which is the biological basis for the interest in any potent insulin-sensitizing intervention
Activation of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) potentiates the exchange protein directly activated by cyclic adenosine monophosphate/phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (Epac/PI3K/Akt), cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase A (cAMP/PKA), and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase/sirtuin 1 (AMPK/SIRT1) pathways, which enhance mitochondrial function, autophagy, and metabolic reprogramming
