Abstract
SUMMARY: The effect of acute myocardial infarction on the secretions of LH, FSH and testosterone was studied in thirteen male patients. Plasma testosterone fell transiently on the fourth day after acute myocardial infarction. This was accompanied by a rise in LH on the same day which persisted for a week after infarction. Serum FSH showed no significant change. The data suggest that following the medical stress of myocardial infarction, testosterone concentration was suppressed resulting in a compensatory rise in LH.Keywords
