    Abstract:
    Using the radioimmunological method, FSH and LH levels were determined in women immediately after surgical castration and after an elapse of 18 months to two years. A twofold increase in FSH was found already two days after castration, while an increase in LH only after six days. Increased FSH and LH levels were observed as late as after two years when upon the administraion of estrogens and androgens, the feed-back mechanism of the pituitary still plays a role. In women with pronounced menopausal disturbances the FSH and LH levels were followed up after the application of Folivirin and Agofollin-Depot over a period of two weeks. There was a constant decrease in FSH of all women immediately after the injection, while the responses in LH were subject to variation, the decreased LH levels being found in all the women only towards the end of the second week. Folivirin was found more suitable for mastering the menopausal disturbances.
