  • Title: [Gonadotropin response to acute stimulation with LHFSHRH in idiopathic oligospermia. Preliminary results].
    Author: Santiemma V, Tullio G, Francavilla F, Francavilla S, Fazia M, Properzi G.
    Journal: Boll Soc Ital Biol Sper; 1979 Jul 15; 55(12):1172-7. PubMed ID: 121959.
    Abstract:
    Serum FSH and LH levels in basal conditions and after Gn-RH test were investigated in 15 idiopathic oligozoospermic patients. Basal FSH was significantly higher in oligospermic than in normal subjects and a negative relationship was found between basal FSH and sperm count. Basal LH was not different in oligozoospermic and in normal subjects. Both FSH and LH responses to GN-RH were significantly higher in oligozoospermic patients. In idiopathic oligozoospermia the presence of a testicular defect involving both the seminiferous epithelium and Leydig cells is suggested.
