Effect of exposure to the altitude of 300 meters below sea-level on testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone and prolactin in man

Abstract: Serum testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and prolactin (PRL) responses to exposure to sea-level altitude (LA) were examined in 13 eugonadal males, age 21-22 yr, 3 and 5 days after residing at LA and on the second day of return to basal altitude 90 days later. After 3 days at their respective residence altitude, there was elevation in LH (p less than 0.05) and depression in testosterone levels (p less than 0.05), with similar results on day 5. These effects were all of tr… Show more
