  • Title: [Gonadotropin response to slow infusion of GN-RH in idiopathic ologospermia. Preliminary findings].
    Author: Santiemma V, Tullio G, Francavilla F, Francavilla S, Fazia M, Fabbrini A.
    Journal: Boll Soc Ital Biol Sper; 1980 Mar 30; 56(6):589-94. PubMed ID: 6769447.
    Abstract:
    Gn-RH was administered i.v. to infertile patients presenting with idiopathic oligospermia at a constant rate (0,4 microgram) for 4 h. All the patients showed an increased FSH response, and LH levels higher than normal in both the first and the second peak of response. Our data indicate that an increased pituitary sensitivity and reserve of FSH and LH are present in idiopathic oligospermia, suggesting an involvement of both Leydig cells and seminiferous epithelium in this condition.
