Reproductive physiology: recent advances of clinical interest.
Several new developments in the field of reproductive endocrinology were published in 1990. Research on inhibin and related peptides appears to be particularly active and developments in this area may provide fundamental new information for the understanding and treatment of reproductive disorders. Exogenous androgens were found to be useful as a pharmacologic form of reversible male contraception. Interesting new data were also published regarding hypothalamic physiology, ovulation induction procedures, and the endocrinology of pregnancy.
