Abstract

The effect of clomiphene citrate on plasma immunoreactive luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH), gonadotropin, and testosterone levels was investigated in 10 patients with idiopathic oligospermia and in 10 normal volunteers. A daily 100-mg dose of clomiphene citrate induced a marked, significant increase in plasma immunoreactive LH-RH levels, followed by significant increments in gonadotropin and testosterone values. No significant differences were detected in LH-RH, gonadotropin, and testosterone levels between controls and patients with oligospermia either under basal conditions or during clomiphene treatment.
