Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to find out if androgen deprivation therapy affects insulin, cardiac risk factors such as cholesterol level, and body fat and muscle.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

* This is a non-treatment study. This study has no effect on the care the participant will receive.
* In addition to the participants routine standard medical appointments they will need to make 2 additional outpatient visits for special testing over 12 weeks. These 2 additional outpatient visits will include the following: 1) urine and blood tests, 2) Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) 3) Body measurements with a tape measure of your arms, legs, and waist and 4) x-ray evaluations (CT scan and bone density test).
