Washington (US): According to a new study reproductive hormone levels in obese females may be partially restored by lowering blood glucose levels, leading to improved fertility.
The findings of the study were published in the Journal of Endocrinology.The study indicates that altered levels of reproductive hormones in a well-established mouse model of obesity may be partially restored by a common type 2 diabetes medication that reduces blood glucose levels. Many women with obesity that experience fertility issues also have altered levels of reproductive hormones. Currently, there is no effective therapy to address this.
