  • Title: Stress-associated or functional hypothalamic amenorrhea in the adolescent.
    Author: Liu JH, Bill AH.
    Journal: Ann N Y Acad Sci; 2008; 1135():179-84. PubMed ID: 18574223.
    Abstract:
    Stress-associated amenorrhea in the adolescent is likely similar to the disorder found in young reproductive-aged adults and is termed hypothalamic amenorrhea. The key defect is an abnormality in the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone. This review examines the current studies that characterize the disorder and the plausible factor(s) that may account for the disturbances in gonadotropin-releasing hormone, and identifies directions for future research in this group of disorders.
