Dysregulation of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) in Obesity: Functional and Statistical Analysis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Degarelix (GnRH antagonist), recombinant FSH, and 1 other intervention for Obesity and Fertility. Completed, enrolled 99 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Excess maternal weight, especially obesity, influences almost every aspect of fertility, from conception to problems during pregnancy. The investigators will use novel statistical methods to clarify the hormonal changes behind reproductive health conditions. A better understanding of reproductive hormonal changes in obese women may offer a way to identify new treatments.
