Use of Pulsatile Intravenous FSH to Mitigate Reprometabolic Syndrome
Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver
Summary
Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that pulsatile FSH intravenous administration to women with obesity will correct the Reprometabolic Syndrome (RMS) luteal deficiency phenotype. Specific Aim: To test the hypothesis that pulsatile IV administration of FSH will rescue the impaired folliculogenesis and relative hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, characteristic of obesity. This study will also try to rescue the diminished ovarian reserve phenotype in the same fashion. The investigators will accomplish this by administering a cycle of pulsatile FSH to women with obesity and comparing their hormone output to a cycle using conventional, daily FSH injection at the identical daily dose. The primary outcome will be luteal phase progesterone excretion.
