Plasma androgens and estrogens in paraplegic men.
The plasma testosterone, estrone (E1), and estradiol (E2) levels were measured in paraplegic men and age-matched controls. Sephadex LH-20 columns and the celite technique were used to extract the sex steroids and a radioimmunoassay was used to measure them. Leydig cell stimulation was achieved with human chorionic gonadotropin administration.
