Abstract
Clomiphene citrate in doses which stimulate gonadotropin production in the adult suppresses urinary follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) excretion and plasma testosterone concentration in prepubertal children. Such results indicate that feedback between gonad and hypothalamus is operative and highly sensitive in prepubertal humans. Puberty in man, as in the rat, is accompanied by a decrease in the sensitivity of the feedback mechanism.Entities:
