  • Title: [Gonadotropic function in female Cushing's syndrome (author's transl)].
    Author: Thieblot P, Luton JP, Mahoudeau J, Bricaire H.
    Journal: Ann Endocrinol (Paris); 1979; 40(1):3-14. PubMed ID: 443729.
    Abstract:
    Gonadotropic function has been studied without selection in 38 female patients with Cushing's syndrome followed during four years. The level of gonadotropins FSH and LH was low in all etiologies of the syndrome. LH-RH stimulation is normal in adrenal hyperplasia and adenoma, and very low in carcinoma. These abnormalities are cured after reduction of hypercorticism. The share of either cortisol or androgens is discussed. A predominant hypercortisolism blunting action on gonadotropic function is possible, cortisol being the common factor of Cushing's syndrome.
