title: Pituitary responsiveness to thyrotropin releasing hormone in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
abstract: The pituitary responses to the intravenous administration of 200 mg of Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone were investigated in 14 poorly controlled insulin dependent diabetic males and in nine matched controls. The mean TSH and prolactin responses in the two groups were similar although both tended to be lower in the diabetics. There was a small FSH rise in 11 of the 23 subjects.
