This study is looking at how obesity might affect a woman's reproductive hormones. Researchers want to see if obese women respond differently to estradiol patches (a form of estrogen) compared to women with a normal weight. They are specifically measuring the amount of Luteinizing hormone (LH) surge, which is a key hormone in ovulation, after participants wear estradiol patches for 7 days. This study is for women aged 18 to 38 who have regular menstrual cycles. The goal is to understand if obesity causes abnormal responses in the body's hormone control centers. The study's current status is unclear, and it plans to enroll 20 participants.

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up
