[The characteristics of hypophyseal gonadotropic function in patients with hypogonadotropic amenorrhea against a background of pergonal ovulation stimulation].

Forty-three ovulation cycles stimulated with human menopausal gonadotropin were examined in 31 patients with hypogonadotropic amenorrhea. Peripheral blood estradiol and luteinizing hormone were radioimmunoassayed. The findings indicate the possibility of recovery of adenohypophyseal gonadotropin autosecretion in the presence of human menopausal gonadotropin administration.
