摘要: Background Men with isolated gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) deficiency typically present an absence of pubertal development. We describe adult-onset form idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism that develops after puberty. Methods studied 10 men (age, 27 to 57 years) normal sexual maturation, infertility, dysfunction, low serum testosterone concentrations, and apulsatile secretion luteinizing on frequent blood sampling. All the had otherwise anterior pituitary sellar anatomy. compared results semen analyses measurements testicular volume, testosterone, inhibin B, gonadotropins in these 24 classic GnRH before during GnRH-replacement therapy 29 similar age. Results Serum gonadotropin concentrations were pulsatile administration those with...
