Official Title: Effect of Short Term Ovarian Suppression on Androgen Overproduction in Overweight Girls With Androgen Excess (CBS007)

Brief Summary: This study will test whether short-term suppression of ovarian function can ameliorate androgen (male hormone) overproduction in overweight girls with androgen excess. The investigators hypothesize that one dose of depot leuprolide agonist administration will improve androgen levels in girls with ovarian androgen overproduction. Specifically, this intervention will improve androgen levels after ovarian stimulation testing with recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (rhCG).

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: University of Virginia

Current Primary Outcome: 17 hydroxyprogesterone responses to rhCG before and 4 weeks after depot leuprolide administration [ Time Frame: 4 weeks after leuprolide ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Ovarian hormone precursor responses to rhCG before and 4 weeks after depot leuprolide administration [ Time Frame: 4 weeks after leuprolide ]

Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
