Abstract

This study was designed to evaluate the usefulness of the GnRH stimulation test in 83 infertile azoospermia and oligoasthenospermia patients. GnRH stimulation test may be helpful not only to differentiate hypogonadotropic hypogonadism of pituitary or hypothalamic origin, but also to identify early Sertoli cell insufficiency in patients with normal basaI FSH level.
