[Effect of atropine on hypophyseal gonadotropins in the basal condition and under GnRH stimulation]. / Azione dell'atropina sulle gonadotropine ipofisarie in condizioni basali e dopo stimolo con GnRH.

The Authors have tested serum levels of LH and FSH in 10 healthy males after stimulation test with GnRH preceded by administration i.m. of 1 mg. of atropine 10' and 1 hour before the test, to examine some interferences of the drug on ipophisary gonadotropins. Atropine has no effect on LH and FSH release because there are no differences between mean values of the hormones during the test with and without atropine, at any time it is administered. All the data obtained have been controlled with Student's "t" test.
