Summary
The investigators are looking for subjects to complete a study on the role of kisspeptin in
the reproductive system. Kisspeptin is a naturally occurring hormone in humans that tells the
body to produce other reproductive hormones. However, giving someone a continued amount of
kisspeptin over a period of time can have the opposite effect and tell the body to, for a
short time, stop making hormones needed for reproduction. By giving 24-hour infusions of
kisspeptin, the investigators hope to learn more about the role kisspeptin has in the way
bodies function normally and the role it has in conditions that affect the reproductive
system.
