Περιγραφή
Immunoreactive plasma inhibin levels and free testosterone index (FTI) were estimated in 17 patients who had previously received combination chemotherapy for Hodgkin's disease and in 16 age-matched controls. In the same patients we had previously found significantly raised FSH and LH levels in the presence of normal basal and HCG-stimulated total testosterone levels. Mean plasma inhibin levels were not different between the patients (601 +/- 321 U/l) and controls (530 +/- 174 U/l) nor were FTI values (81.5 +/- 35 vs 91 +/- 47 respectively). There was a positive correlation (r = 0.53, P less than 0.05) between FSH and inhibin levels and a negative correlation between FSH and FTI (r = -0.51, P less than 0.05) in the patients but not in the controls. No such correlations with inhibin or FTI existed for LH but there was a positive correlation between LH and FSH levels in the patients. In four patients inhibin levels were pathologically raised and in this group mean FSH values (21.7 +/- 4.7 IU/l) were higher (P less than 0.001) and mean FTI (59.1 +/- 22.6) lower (P less than 0.001) than respective values (13.6 +/- 5.3 IU/l and 88.4 +/- 35) for the remainder of the patients. These data are not compatible with the hypothesis that inhibin is the major negative feedback signal for the control of FSH secretion.
