“…This disappears after amelioration of HA by oestrogen treatment, for example [1]. Whether this is a problem in the upper normal range of testosterone values amongst women does not seem to have been directly studied, but epidemiological studies and anecdotal evidence suggest a gradient of free testosterone values and increased hair growth from north to south in European countries [2].…”

Abstract. Bjo$ rntorp P (Department of Heart and Lung Diseases, Sahlgren's Hospital, University of Go$ teborg, Go$ teborg, Sweden). The android womana risky condition (Review). J Intern Med 1996 ; 239 : 105-110.Normal women produce small amounts of active androgens. When androgen levels are elevated, such as for example in the polycystic ovary syndrome, this is followed by the development of male physical characteristics of muscle mass, structure and function as well as android adipose tissue distribution and function. Psychological features and stress reactions also seem similar to those of men. Such women have an increased risk of developing hypertension, noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Recent data have shown that these physical, and psychological characteristics, as well as risk of ill health, are also found in the population of

“…Two of these patients had enlarged ovaries observed at laparoscopy, whereas in the remaining five the ovarian size as determined by pelvic examination and laparoscopy (in four patients) were normal. Hirsutism was graded 1 to 4+ (22). Plasma testosterone levels varied from 44-147 ng/100 ml with 6/7 values above 65 ng/ml.4 Plasma cortisol levels suppressed to < 3 /lg/100 ml after 1 mg of dexamethasone.…”

A B S T R A C T The demonstration that luteinizing hormone (LH) release from the pituitary is episodic rather than constant raises fundamental questions regarding the physiologic control of pulsatile LH secretion and its possible alteration in patients with gonadal disorders. To evaluate this mode of LH secretion, quantitative means of analyzing LH pulse amplitude, frequency, shape, and area were established and utilized to study normal subjects and patients with disorders of gonadotropin secretion. Similar patterns of LH secretion were observed in normal men, in women during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, and in patients with hyperand hypogonadotropism, hirsuitism, and amenorrhea (mean pulse amplitude 39-179% from nadir to peak, frequency 2.7-3.9 secretory spikes/6 h). These observations suggested that the pattern of LH secretion is similar in both normal individuals and in those with a variety of pathologic conditions. By contrast, the pattern of pulsatile secretion appeared to differ in the following conditions. LH pulses of higher amplitude (333±170%) and lower frequency (1.6±0.24 SEM/6 h) characterized the secretory patterns of women during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, suggesting that gonadal steroids may modulate LH pulses. LH pulses of low amplitude (26±2.1%) and frequency (1.3±0.36/6 h) were observed in women with anorexia nervosa.Either integrated LH levels or a mean LH level determined from multiple samples provided a more accurate reflection of gonadotropin secretion than the use of
