Effect of Metformin on Adrenal or Ovarian Androgen Production in Overweight Pubertal Girls With Androgen Excess
This study will test whether metformin administration can ameliorate androgen (male hormone) overproduction in overweight pubertal girls with androgen excess. The investigators hypothesize that improvement in insulin sensitivity by 12 weeks of metformin administration will improve androgen levels after adrenal stimulation testing with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) or ovarian stimulation testing …
Does Spironolactone Normalize Sleep-wake Luteinizing Hormone Pulse Frequency in Pubertal Girls With Hyperandrogenism?
The purpose of this study is to determine if, in mid- to late pubertal girls with hyperandrogenism (HA), androgen-receptor blockade (spironolactone) alone normalizes sleep-wake luteinizing hormone (LH) pulse frequency (primary endpoint) and overall LH and follicle-stimulating hormone secretion (secondary endpoints).
Hyperandrogenemia and Altered Day-night LH Pulse Patterns
The purpose of this study is to determine if, in mid- to late pubertal girls with hyperandrogenism, androgen-receptor blockade (spironolactone) improves the ability of progesterone to acutely reduce waking luteinizing hormone pulse frequency (primary endpoint).
Acupuncture or Metformin for Insulin Resistance in Women With PCOS
The hypothesis is that acupuncture is equally effective as metformin (both treatments combined with lifestyle management) in improving whole body glucose homeostasis in insulin resistant women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and that both are superior to lifestyle management alone. The investigators hypothesize that acupuncture and metformin induce ovulation and …
Dissecting the IMpact of 11-OXygenated and Classic Androgens on Skeletal Muscle Insulin Sensitivity (DIMOXIS)
Androgen excess is the cardinal biochemical feature of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Serum testosterone correlates with insulin resistance in PCOS, however, there is an urgent need to improve our understanding of the association between androgens and the risk of type 2 diabetes. 11-oxygenated steroids are the predominant androgens in PCOS …
MYPP-trial: Myo-inositol Supplementation to Prevent Pregnancy Complications in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. PCOS is a heterogeneous condition, characterised by metabolic disturbances, insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism. Pregnancies in women with PCOS have an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus, preeclampsia and preterm birth, and their offspring have an …
Restoring Metabolic and Reproductive Health With Sleep in PCOS Study, CPAP Trial
In this study, the researchers are trying to learn more about the relationship between Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder that involves a decrease or complete stop in airflow. The purpose of this study is to find out why some …
Inositol Supplementation to Treat PCOS (INSUPP-PCOS)
To determine if Inositol, a dietary supplement, will improve ovarian and adrenal androgen excess in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS).
Go Girls! Fitness Support Group Intervention Effectiveness Study
The main purpose of this study is to determine if the Go Girls! program to take place at the Kluge Children's Rehabilitation Center Therapeutic Recreation Gymnasium, intended to introduce girls to a fun, non-threatening environment of exercise with peer support, improves scores on a physical activity enjoyment scale (PACES). Information …
Kisspeptin Administration in the Adult
The goal of this study is to learn about the role of kisspeptin in the reproductive system. Kisspeptin is a naturally occurring hormone in humans that causes the release of other hormones, including gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in the body.
