Summary

This small study looked at how a hormone called kisspeptin affects the brain's control of reproduction in women with PCOS. Eight women received a continuous infusion of kisspeptin, and researchers measured changes in their luteinizing hormone pulses. The goal was to better understand the hormone patterns in PCOS, not to treat the condition.
