The potential influence of hormonal imbalance on the development of slipped capital femoral epiphysis was assessed through a prospective clinical study. The serum levels of T3, T4, thyroid-stimulating hormone, testosterone, estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, human growth hormone, adrenal cortex hormone and cortisol were evaluated in sev...

Twenty residues of the human choriogonadotropin (hCG) beta-subunit that are wrapped around alpha-subunit loop 2 like a "seatbelt" stabilize the heterodimer and enable the hormone to distinguish lutropin (LHR), follitropin, and thyrotropin receptors. The N-terminal portion of the seatbelt contains a small disulfide-stabilized loop needed for heterodimer assembly and is thought to mediate hCG-LHR...

PURPOSE Premature ejaculation is considered the most common type of male sexual dysfunction. Hormonal controls of ejaculation have not been exactly elucidated. The aim of our study is to investigate the role of hormonal factors in patients with premature ejaculation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-three participants who consulted our outpatient clinics with complaints of premature ejaculation an...

The within-subject and between-subject biological variation of the serum concentrations of follitropin, lutropin, sex-hormone-binding globulin, and testosterone; the ratio between the serum concentrations of testosterone and sex-hormone-binding globulin; and the concentration of testosterone in saliva have been studied in a group of 20 men during 12 months. The between-subject coefficients of v...
