Effect of LHRH stimulation in anovulatory women.
Serum FSH and LH and levels were determined at different time intervals after the subcutaneous administration of 100 mug LHRH to 24 females. Serum FSH levels were of the same order in the oligomenorrhea-amenorrhea  and the Stein-Leventhal group of patients but elevated in gonadal failure. There was a great degree of overlap between serum LH values in the three groups. Gondal failure patients, however, could be distinguished from the other  two groups because these patients had an elevation of both serum FSH and LH, and the response to LHRH was considereably exaggerated in comparison to the other two groups.
