Effect of Chorionic Gonadotropic Hormone and of Male Sex Hormone on Height Increase and Bone Development

Abstract
Study of 20 [male][male] (age range 8-15 1/2 yrs.) with hypogonadism, hypogenitalism or cryptorchidism showed that chorionic gonadotrophic and testosterone propionate have stimulating effects on height and bone de- velopment in adolescent subjects, especially if given in successive courses of treatment. Doses used ranged from 250-500 R. U. or I. U. of chorionic gonadotrophic and 10-25 mg. of testosterone propionate over extended periods.
