Body fat and female hormone function study
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how body fat and exercise relate to how your ovaries work and how your hormones function. It may help explain why some women have irregular ovulation or hormone problems, and how lifestyle factors affect them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman with ovaries that have hormone/menstrual issues (or a specific hormone pattern for the study groups)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is within the study’s ranges (about 18.5–25 or up to 40, depending on the group)
- You either meet one of the study hormone/menstrual patterns (including ovulatory dysfunction or specific polycystic ovary syndrome types) OR you meet the “regular cycles” group criteria
- You do moderate-to-vigorous exercise more than 5 hours per week in some groups (or mild/no exercise for another group)
- You are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding, and you were not in the prior 6 months (for study start)
- You have no major exclusion conditions (smoking/alcohol above limits, certain medicines affecting ovulation, or certain chronic illnesses)

This Phase 1 study tests how chronic treatment with a beta-3–type medicine affects brown fat (a special kind of body fat) in the body. It mainly looks at safety and how the body responds over time, which could help future treatments for weight and metabolic health.
This study looks at how weight changes affect hormone levels and insulin resistance in women with PCOS. It may help understand if weight cycling is harmful or helpful.
This study looks at hormone levels and metabolism in people who may have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It aims to better understand why PCOS happens, which could help improve future diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at hormone and blood test patterns in certain women, including those with PCOS, repeat miscarriages, or specific pregnancy sugar/itching conditions. It may help doctors better understand what’s going on and how these conditions relate to reproductive outcomes.
This registry study is for people who have stopped getting periods due to a condition called functional hypothalamic amenorrhea, which may be linked to low estrogen and ovulation problems. Researchers want to track hormone patterns over time to better understand how the condition develops.
This study looks at how polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance (a condition where your body doesn't use insulin well) are linked to energy problems in cells (mitochondrial dysfunction). It aims to understand how these conditions affect fertility in women.
