Abstract
A study of the urinary sex hormone excretion in 21 [male][male] with adolescent mastitis suggested that in many instances the process was associated with atypical levels of the estrogens and 17-ketosteroids. The syndrome was more closely related to the ratio between the estrogens and 17-ketosteroids than it was to individual rates. This ratio approached that found in [female][female] of the same age group, i.e., a relative increase in the estrogen excretion. Gonadotrophic hormone was elevated in several cases, but the data were too few to be of significance. This imbalance may occur as a result of sexual metamorphosis.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
