Plasma testosterone levels before and after stimulation with HCG in anorchism
Abstract
The authors present four cases of operatively confirmed anorchism. The plasma levels of testosterone and 11-deoxy-17-ketosteroids and dehydroisoandrosterone in urine were low in all cases. After stimulation with HCG, plasma testosterone levels increased in two cases and did not change in another two. The levels of 11-deoxy-17-ketosteroids and dehydroisoandrosterone in urine did not increase.
