Convergent Mechanisms Underlying Reprometabolic Syndrome in Women

Convergent Mechanisms Underlying Reprometabolic Syndrome in Women and Sheep

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Dr. Nanette Santoro proposes to test the specific question that obesity results in abnormal estradiol response at the level of the pituitary and hypothalamus. This will be shown in diminished pituitary sensitivity to gonadorelin releasing hormone with a reduced estradiol induced luteinizing hormone surge in obese women.
