Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to understand how exogenous kisspeptin affects metabolism by evaluating responses to an oral glucose tolerance test

Description:

Assignment: Each study subject will serve as their own control. The order of the visits will be randomized.

Delivery of Interventions:

• Prior to the study visit, subjects will undergo a review of their medical history and screening laboratories.

• During the inpatient study, the subjects will

• Undergo a 16-hour kisspeptin infusion

• Undergo an oral glucose tolerance test
