title: Pulsatile secretory patterns of luteinizing hormone in two patients with secondary amenorrhea suffering from Cushing's disease, before and after transsphenoidal adenectomy.
abstract: In two infertile women with Cushing's disease, LH pulse frequency increased after pituitary adenectomy; both conceived within 4 months. This finding suggests that defective LH-RH-stimulation of LH secretion accounted (partially) for their infertility.
