Treatment Summary:	This study was a clinical trial (NCT02653092) and was approved by the Colorado Multiple Institutional Review Board (COMIRB). All participants provided informed consent. Women aged 18-38 with menstrual cycles 25-35 days in length and no use of reproductive hormones within 3 months of enrollment were eligible for the study. Additional eligibility criteria included: a) no history of chronic disease affecting hormone production, metabolism, or clearance and no use of medications known to interact with reproductive hormones or insulin metabolism; b) normal screening prolactin and TSH; c) normal hemoglobin A1c; d) hemoglobin > 11 g/dl at screening; e) use of reliable non-hormonal contraception throughout the study period. Because the goal was to investigate the effects of a high-fat diet, women with a baseline dietary assessment indicative of >40% calories from fat were excluded, as were women who were unable to comply with the protocol, which involved eating only foods provided by the Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute’s (CCTSI) Nutrition Services. Because of the restrictions on their ability to consume animal or dairy fats, vegans and lactose intolerant individuals were excluded. Cycle 1 was a baseline cycle; Cycle 2 entailed consumption of the high-fat diet which was continued until frequent blood sampling was completed in the early follicular phase of Cycle 3. Cycle 3 was the immediate post-high-fat-diet cycle and Cycle 4 was a recovery cycle. Participants underwent baseline and end-of-diet assessments of gonadotropin dynamics. A 6-hour frequent blood sampling study was performed to determine endogenous LH and FSH secretion (Time 0- 341 240 minutes) and concluded with a physiologic bolus of 75 ng/kg GnRH to assess pituitary 342 responsiveness (Time 240-360 minutes). Frequent sampling studies for gonadotropin determination were 343 all performed in the early follicular phase of the menstrual cycle (cycle days 2-5). Participants were also 344 seen weekly during the high-fat diet cycle and had a blood draw to assess compliance. 345 346 High-fat diet protocol. Participants completed a food preference screening survey and a 3-day diet diary, 347 which estimated their daily caloric intake and approximate proportion of daily calories derived from fat. 348 Participants were provided with a customized eucaloric high-fat diet comprised of approximately 48% 349 calories from fat, 33% calories from carbohydrates and 19% calories from protein. Food was portioned 350 into individual meals with snacks and boxed into 3-4 days’ worth at a time. Participants picked up food 351 directly from the Clinical and Translational Research Center; when this was not possible, study staff 352 delivered food to the participant. Urinary ketones were measured at each frequent blood sampling 353 session (Siemens Healthineers, Malvern, PA). During administration of the high-fat diet, blood samples were drawn weekly for 364 metabolomic analysis to determine compliance with the protocol.
