“The doses of estradiol (E(2)) and progesterone (P) were chosen to mimic levels across the normal follicular phase and have been shown previously to induce negative followed by positive feedback on LH.”
“3.2 ng/mL. Intratesticular testosterone and estradiol concentrations correlated highly with serum luteinizing hormone (LH; r = 0.87 and r = 0.70 respectively, P < .01).”
“The enzyme inductor drugs decrease the level of free testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, follicle stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone , and increase the sex-hormone-binding globulin and estradiol levels.”
“Stimulation with estradiol revealed diminished LH augmentative responses and a trend toward diminished follicle stimulating hormone augmentative responses among bulimic as well as AN patients compared to controls.”
