Abstract
In 26 patients with varicocele, measuremnts of plasma FSH, luteinizing homrone (LH), testosterone (T) and estradiol2 (E2) were made; pre- and post-operative sperm counts, dynamic stimulation tests with HCG [human chorionic gonadotropin] and clomiphene, as well as testicular biopsies including light microscopy, morphometry and ultrastructural study in 4 cases, were also performed. A correlation was found between the hormonal pattern and testicular morphology.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
