I doubt this can get to human trials, so many obstacles to overcome. Yet, this could be revolutionary if proven true.

That is a risk. I think blocking FSH is too big a hormonal adjustment to deal with and it will be unlikely that it will be without problems. I think instead it is likely this research will lead on to more specific mechanisms and routes for tackling the issue.
exactly and there might be other factors like pregnancy and health of the subject that would need to be considered too. as long as there are good takeaways, this study can be termed successful. thank you for sharing, this is an interesting article!
Well the initial idea is use in post menopausal/menopausal women so pregnancy would only come into it if it was extended out to other age groups. I'm not sure it will get that far given the broad effects that FSH has for exactly that reason. Obviously men don't get pregnant but it is also a broad switching hormone with a variety of reproductive and other effects in both genders which I think would pose a problem in that case too.
