Özet

LHRH and TRH tests were performed in 16 boys age 14.5-18.5 years with constitutional delayed puberty (CDP); 9 idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) males, age 15.0-22.0 years; and 7 control subjects age 14.5-19.5 years. The responses of FSH and LH to LHRH stimulation overlapped so that it was difficult to differentiate IHH from CDP. Some patients with IHH had normal gonadotropin responses.
