Heterogeneous results of serum @entity251 obtained in multiple blood samples from @entity1 with @entity3427 in both basal and post- XXXX conditions.

@entity1 @entity251 @entity3784 @entity619 @entity701 @entity3427
Serum radioimmunoassayable @entity251 (T), @entity701 and luteinizing hormone (LH) were determined before and after @entity619 ( @entity3784 ) administration in 35 @entity1 with @entity3427 ( @entity3427 ). Blood samples were taken at 15-min intervals during 1 hour in both basal and post- @entity3784 conditions. @entity251 values obtained in 5 normal @entity1 in the same conditions during the early follicular phase were (mean +/- SD): baseline, 2.26 +/- 0.49 nmol/l; post- @entity3784 , 0.80 +/- 0.35 nmol/l. Serum T levels in the whole group of @entity1 with @entity3427 were significantly higher than those in the control group (mean +/- SD): baseline, 3.30 +/- 1.80nmol/l; post- @entity3784 , 1.67 +/- 1.49nmol/l. @entity1 with @entity3427 were divided into 4 groups according to T results in the @entity3784 test (mean +/- SD in both basal and post- @entity3784 conditions, respectively): group 1 (n = 13) 1.67 +/- 0.66 and 0.62 +/- 0.35nmol/l; group 2 (n = 11) 3.89 +/- 1.63 and 3.09 +/- 1.49nmol/l; group 3 (n = 6) 3.96 +/- 1.46 and 0.87 +/- 0.73nmol/l; and group 4 (n = 5) 5.45 +/- 1.25 and 2.05 +/- 0.38nmol/l. In all cases, maximal adrenal inhibition, as judged by serum @entity701 , was obtained. No LH modifications after @entity3784 were obtained in any of the cases. Our results demonstrate that there is no common androgenic abnormality in @entity3427 . It is possible to obtain normal or high circulating T levels. The findings of this study also suggest that the adrenals, to ovary or both may be the sources of high T levels.
