[Specificity of LH binding by interstitial tissues of polycystic ovaries in comparison with their androgenic...

125I-LH binding by interstitial tissues of 33 polycystic ovaries was studied comparatively to their androgenic activity. It was shown that the disorder of LH binding by the ovary interstitial tissue is peculiar to the polycystic ovaries in ovarian hyperandrogeny. Changes in 125 I-LH binding by the interstitial tissue and the ovary androgenic activity are closely correlated.
