@entity1 with @entity3918 show @entity8814 associated with @entity6126 and a secondary increase in the gonadotropins FSH and LH. By examining ten @entity1 (nine @entity1 , one @entity1 ) with @entity3918 and determining serum FSH and LH concentrations by radioimmunoassay, the authors tried to evaluate whether the decrease in intraocular pressure (IOP) seen in @entity3918 might be related to increase levels of gonadotropins. The IOP of the @entity1 with @entity3918 (mean 10.6 mm Hg, SD 3.9 mm Hg) was significantly lower (P less than 0.0005) than that of a randomly selected control group. In all nine male patients serum FSH concentrations (mean 41.7 mIU/ml, SD 18.9 mIU/ml, normal range 0.9-9.8 mIU/ml) and serum LH concentrations (mean 18.6 mIU/ml. SD 6.8 mIU/ml, normal range 2.2-12.0 mIU/ml) were significantly higher (FSH: P less than 0.0005, LH: P less than 0.05) than those of a control group of four normal @entity1 . The female @entity1 's FSH was elevated (11.5 mIU/ml, normal range 1.7-8.5 mIU/ml), her LH concentration was slightly elevated (15.5 mIU/ml, normal range 2.5-15.4 mIU/ml). A statistically significant correlation was found between elevated LH concentrations and decreased IOP (P less than 0.05) but no such correlation between FSH and IOP (P less than = 0.17). Endogenous circulating gonadotropins may play an important role in regulating aqueous inflow via @entity1919 which is produced by ciliary epithelia and causes a decrease in the rate of @entity7462 production. This theory is corroborated by humor production. This theory is corroborated by the authors' data and by experimental studies by Sears and co-workers.
