NCT ID NCT02653092

Summary

This study aims to understand why obesity makes it harder for women to get pregnant. Researchers are putting healthy-weight women on a temporary high-fat diet to see if it causes changes in hormones linked to fertility, similar to what happens in obese women. The goal is to learn how obesity's effects on metabolism might disrupt the reproductive system, which could inform future treatments.
