[Pharmacodynamic tests of the stimulation of hypophyseal function: simplification of the procedure without alteration of their diagnostic value].
The aim of this study was to examine if it was possible to simplify the procedure of some stimulation tests of pituitary function. This study was performed on 300 stimulation tests of TSH by TRH, PRL by TRH, LH by LHRH and FSH by LHRH, respectively. Simplified procedures may be proposed without altering the diagnostic value of the tests: assay of TSH and PRL 0 and 30 minutes after TRH injection and of LH and FSH 0, 30 and 60 minutes after LHRH injection.
