Abstract:
0.05), indicating that the functional reserve of PRL, TSH and ACTH cells were normal in IGHD patients. Except the ratio of peak and basal level, all the other five indices of the LH response to LHRH were significantly lower in IGHD patients than in normals of puberty. The functional reserve of LH cell was low in about 2/3 IGHD patients. These results might explain the delayed or no puberty in adult IGHD patients.
