  • Title: Successful induction of follicular maturation and ovulation by prolonged treatment with LH-releasing hormone in women with anorexia nervosa.
    Author: Nillius SJ, Fries H, Wide L.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 1975 Aug 15; 122(8):921-8. PubMed ID: 1098466.
    Abstract:
    Four women with anorexia nervosa were treated with synthetic LH-releasing hormone (LRH) in an attempt to induce ovulation. All the women had very low pretreatment levels of gonadotropins and estrogens. Administration of LRH resulted in significant gonadotropin increases. The FSH response to LRH in relation to the LH response was higher than in regularly menstruating women. LRH (500 mug) was administered parenterally three times daily over about 4 weeks. During this period there were no significant effects on mood, eating behavior, weight, or libido. All the women responded with follicular maturation and ovulation to the prolonged LRH treatment.
