Abstract The causes of functional infertility are obscure and elusive. Those of abnormal pregnancy and habitual abortion are no less so. Many factors of nutritional and endocrine significance may be involved, but thus far these have been loosely defined and so remain in a rather confused state. We postulate that many cases of functional infertility and abortion may result from errors in sex hormone metabolism associated with variable degrees of nutritional and hepatic insufficiency. This concept is based on abundant evidence from investigators in the field of nutrition1 and from workers investigating the influence of the liver on sex endocrine function.2 Previous observations clearly relate liver damage with gonadal damage.8 These clinical and experimental data tend to support the idea that livergonadal syndromes may be associated with infertility. Hepatic insufficiency is frequently the cause of the following sex organ changes: in men, testicular damage, gynecomastia, impotence, and infertility; References 1. Mason, K.

The liver function tests were usually determination of sulfobromophthalein (Bromsulphalein) secretion, cephalin flocculation, thymol turbidity, and glycogen storage (Kinsell).
