Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to learn more about how kisspeptin, a naturally occurring hormone, affects women with high levels of prolactin (also called hyperprolactinemia). All participants will receive kisspeptin in a pulsatile fashion. Subjects in one group will attend two 12-hour visits with frequent blood draws. Subjects in the second group will wear a pump that administers kisspeptin subcutaneously (SC) over eight days and attend seven short blood sampling visits.
