Effect of p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA) on pituitary hormones and testosterone in the human.
L-p-Chlorophenylalanine (L-PCPA) was given in a dosage of 1.5 g daily, to 6 healthy male subjects over a period of 12 days. No effect on plasma luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), growth hormone (GH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), testosterone and other steroid hormones could be observed. These results are discussed in respect to the sexually stimulating effect of PCPA.
