[Insulin secretion into the serum in various forms of male hypogonadism in recruits and soldiers].

Significant elevation of insulin was established with the radioimmunological determination of base insulin level in the serum, at 8 o'clock a.m. before meals in 76 patients with various forms of male hypogonadism, recruits and soldiers (Klinefelter syndrome--20, male Turner--2, primary hypogonadism with other known or unknown etiology--12, cryptorchism--14, anorchia--3, secondary hypogonadism--19, puberty tardia--6). The hyperinsulinemia established is associated with hypercortisolemia, observed in those patients.
