  • Title: Ultrasound-detected polycystic ovarian syndrome associated with depleted basal level but enhanced response of gonadotropin.
    Author: Imai A, Furui T, Tamaya T.
    Journal: J Med; 1995; 26(5-6):337-42. PubMed ID: 8721909.
    Abstract:
    A patient with ultrasound-detected polycystic ovaries and anovulatory oligomenorrhea had extremely low luteinizing hormone (LH) levels, but a heightened sensitivity to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Of interest is the finding of undetectable basal LH levels. This rare presentation may suggest that polycystine ovarian syndrome (PCOS) features may be a consequence of the increased response of LH, independently on basal levels of LH.
