Sex steroid milieu does not alter the impact of fasting on leptin levels in women.
The impact of stressors upon some metabolic and endocrine parameters differs when the gonad is present and in the follicular vs. luteal phase. However, a high vs. low sex steroid milieu did not alter the metabolic response, as assessed by leptin levels, in response to the stressor of fasting.
