title: [Ullrich-Turner syndrome in adolescence and adulthood. Endocrinologic studies].
abstract: The systematic hormone analyses in patients with Turner's syndrome which up to now were not performed in the size demonstrated do not show beyond the gonadotropic regulating circle any clues to practice relevant disturbances of the hypothalamo-pituitary centres of the classical endocrine regulating circles and in the secretion of steroids. However, an importance is ascribed to the occasional pathological androgen levels, in the individual case therapeutic consequences may be the result (substitution of the deficiency is ascertained, extirpation of the gonads in a tumour with hypersecretion of androgen). The functional investigations of the gonadal regulating circle are of outstanding importance. The diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic assessment concerning a possible endocrine ovarial residual activity is without doubt possible on the basis of the gonadotropin values.
