Gonadotropinic reserve in women affected by hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea
Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology
|January 1, 1980
Abstract:
The Authors have evaluated the hypophysis gonadotropic reserve after stimulation by synthetic GnRH (100 ng) in women affected by functional hyperprolactinemia and by prolactin-secreting adenoma. The LH response was significatively higher in women affected by functional hyperprolactinemia. The PRL values seem to have no influence on the gonadotropic reserve except for the cases in which The PRL levels were higher than 200 ng/ml. In all these cases a prolactinoma was present. The FSH response was similar in the two groups considered.
