[Luteotropic hormone (LTH) level in men with alcoholism].
The authors examined 46 male patients with alcoholic disease and 10 healthy ones, aged from 20 to 50. The LTH dosing is performed by radioimmunologic method with double antibodies. A significant LTH decrease was found in the alcoholic male patients, as compared with the healthy control ones, convincingly speaking of the LTH affection in chronic alcoholism. The absence of discrepancy in LTH level in patients with and without sexual disorders gave grounds to the authors to persume that that hormone has not a definite participation in the sexual disturbances origination in alcoholism.
