View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The purpose of the present study is to characterize the endocrine and metabolic responses to a modest, short-term energy deficiency (\~250 kcal/day) across the menstrual cycle in recreationally active women using different contraceptive methods (oral contraceptive, hormonal IUD, and non-hormonal IUD). This study will leverage daily urinary hormone metabolite tracking and comprehensive metabolic assessments, providing foundational data addressing an important and previously unexamined interaction between energy availability and hormonal regulation in contraceptive users.
