R S Sanchez, G G Murthy, J Mehta, W W Shreeve, F R Singh.   

Abstract

Plasma follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and testosterone levels were studied in 10 patients undergoing lithium therapy. Testosterone levels were below the normal range in 7 of the 10 patients. FSH levels were high in two patients and LH levels were high in one. The effects of lithium on the pituitary-testicular axis are discussed.
