Stroke patients often show high luteinizing hormone (LH) and low testosterone. This suggests reduced Leydig cell function, impacting male reproductive health after a stroke.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Neurology
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Pure motor stroke can affect hormonal balance.
  • The pituitary-testicular axis is crucial for male reproductive function.
  • Understanding endocrine changes post-stroke is important for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the hormonal status of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and testosterone in patients with acute pure motor stroke.
  • To assess the pituitary-gonadal response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) stimulation in these patients.

Main Methods:

  • Serum LH, FSH, and testosterone levels were measured in 9 pure motor stroke patients within 24-48 hours of onset.
  • Hormonal responses to intravenous GnRH bolus were evaluated.

  • Testosterone response to 3 days of daily hCG administration was assessed.

    • Main Results:

    • Eight out of nine patients presented with high serum LH and normal or low testosterone levels.
    • All patients exhibited exaggerated LH responses to GnRH, while FSH responses were comparable to controls.
    • Patients showed an insignificant rise in testosterone after hCG administration compared to controls.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings suggest a normally functioning pituitary-testicular feedback mechanism in pure motor stroke patients.
    • A decreased Leydig cell response is indicated in patients with pure motor stroke.
    • These endocrine alterations may have implications for male reproductive health following stroke.
