Effects of lifestyle and body composition on the ovary.

Abstract
Reduction of metabolic fuel availability below the critical level by food restriction or increased expenditure is appropriately accompanied by activations of multiple neuroendocrine-metabolic changes resulting in anovulation and amenorrhea, an important device for endogenous hypothalamic contraception. This reproductive strategy in women is required because of the enormous nutritional demand for reproductive success.
