Background: Previous studies have suggested an association between adiposity, androgens and gonadotropins in late pubertal girls. Aim: Assessment the levels of gonadotropins and androgens among pubertal overweight and obese girls. Subjects and Methods: It was a cross-sectional one, carried out in the Obesity Clinic of the Diabetes, Endocrine and Metabolism Pediatric Unit (DEMPU), Pediatric Hospital, Cairo University and "Management of Visceral Obesity and Growth Disturbances Unit" at the "Medical Research Excellence Center (MERC)", National Research Centre. It included 40 overweight and obese girls and 40 age-matching normal weight (control) girls, aged 12 -18 years. Anthropometric assessment (weight, height, hip and waist circumferences) was recorded, BMI and waist/hip were calculated. Laboratory investigations: serum gonadotropins (LH, FSH) and androgens (total and free testosterone) were measured.:
