DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSE OF SERUM LH IN HYPOGONADOTROPIC HYPOGONADISM AND DELAYED PUBERTY TO LH-RH STIMULATION BEFORE AND AFTER CLOMIPHENE CITRATE ADMINISTRATION.

Abstract
The differential diagnosis between hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and delayed puberty is facilitated by comparing the response of gonadotropins to LH-RH stimulation before and after administration of clomiphene citrate 200 mg daily during 7 days. Premedication of clomiphene citrate depresses peak values of LH and FSH on LH-RH in delayed puberty. In hypogonadotropic hypogonadism clomiphene citrate raises LH-RH induced peak LH while FSH does not change.
