Inclusion Criteria: * Overweight(\>85th BMI%) females * Early to late puberty (expected age range 7-18) * Hyperandrogenemic (free testosterone greater than 2.5 standard deviations above the mean for normal control subjects of the same Tanner Stage) * Screening labs within age-appropriate normal range, with the exception of a mildly low hematocrit (see below) and the hormonal abnormalities inherent in obesity which could include mildly elevated luteinizing hormone (LH), lipids, testosterone, prolactin, DHEAS, E2, glucose, and insulin; and decreased follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and/or sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) Exclusion Criteria: * Screening labs outside of age-appropriate normal range * Hemoglobin \<12 mg/dL and hematocrit\<36% (Subjects will be offered the opportunity to take iron supplementation for 60 days if their hematocrit is slightly low (33-36%) (suggestive of iron deficiency anemia) and will then return for retesting of their hemoglobin/hematocrit. If still \<36%, they will be excluded.) * Morning Cortisol \<5 g/dL * 17-hydroxyprogesterone \>295 ng/dL * History of Cushing's syndrome or adrenal insufficiency * Pregnant
