[New criterion for determining fertility in men].

The concentrations of testosterone, estradiol, LH and FSH were studied in blood plasma of 84 healthy males and in the seminal plasma of 22 fertile males. The results obtained are juxtaposed to the concentrations of the indicated hormones in seminal fluid of 35 males with oligoasthenospermia and of 46 males with azoospermia. The concentration of the hormones in the seminal plasma was established to be equal to their concentrations in blood plasma. That enables their investigation in the seminal fluid in parallel with the spermogram. Normal fertility is admitted to be that fertility with a concentration of testosterone ranging from 250-550 mg%, of estradiol from 40-60 pg/ml, of LH-25-35 mlU/ml and of FSH from 20-30 mlU/ml. Reduced fertility has the concentrations of testosterone and estradiol reduced with more than 50% of the normal level, and that of gonadotropic--elevated with more than 50% of the normal level.

[Functional state of the genital system in men with obesity].

The results from the carried out investigations on fertility indices of ejaculate are reported as well as on the spermatogenic activity test with radioactive phosphorus and on the determination of total gonadotropic excretion in urine of males with high degree of obesity. A statistically significant decrease of all investigated in dices of ejaculate and the test of spermatogenic activity was found. The decreased gonadotropic activity in over half of the patients investigated with obesity, as well as the manifestations of diencephalic alterations in them made the authors admit the secondary character of the gonad disorders.

[Study of thyroid function and glycemia in Klinefelter's syndrome].

Twenty six patients with Kleinfelter syndrome were examined with the following tests being made use of: 1. J131 cumulation in thyroid gland. 2. Glycemia prior to and post loading with 100 g glucose at the 0 minute, 60th minute, 120th minute and 180th minute. 3. Dosage of protein conjugated iodine in blood. 4. Perchlorate test. 5. Dosage of thyroid hormone of blood level by radioimmunologic method. The results correlate withthe normal values of iodine cumulation and protein conjugated iodine as well as with the negative perchlorate test. The thyrotropic hormone level shows a tendency towards moderate elevation, without significant statistical correlation. No carbohydrate disturbances were found in any of the patients examined. Finally, the results obtained could be said to provide evidence for a euthyroid state and absence of disorders in carbohydrate metabolism in case of Kleinfelter syndrome.

Blood Glucose

[Serum testosterone level in male alcoholics].

The authors examined 48 males, with alcohol disease aged 20-50 and 10 healthy males. The dosing of testosterone was performed by radioimmunologic method with double antibodies. A significant increased level of serum testosterone was established when alcohol patients were examined. Serum testosterone is with the highest values in patients with sexual disturbances and in rather more advanced stages of the disease. The authors explain that paradoxical, at first sight, increase of testosterone in alcoholics by shifting of testosterone metabolism from oxidative way towards reductive way of metabolization.
