Abstract
A case study of testosterone-induced spermatogenesis in a "pan-hypop ituitary" eunochoid is presented. The patient, age 24, exhibited relative dwarfism and complete sexual infanitilism. The patient was treated with testosterone pellets for a period of 5 months. The treatment resulted in significant spermatogenesis and sexual development. Since urinary gonadotropin excretion prior to and during therapy was consistently negative for 4 or less mouse units per 24 hours, it is assumed that testosterone directly affects the seminiferous tubules without mediation by gonadotropins.If you're having problem loading pages
