Improvement in gonadotropin secretion after corticosteroid therapy in a case of POEMS syndrome.

We report a case of POEMS syndrome with various endocrine dysfunctions. A 49-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for pretibial edema and general fatigue. He had weakness of the lower extremities, hepatomegaly, monoclonal protein (IgG-lambda type), impotence, pigmentation and hypertrichosis. Endocrinological examination revealed impaired glucose tolerance, primary hypothyroidism and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. After three months of treatment with corticosteroids, he showed an improvement in gonadotropin secretion, but no considerable change in the secretion of the other hormones. To our knowledge, this is the first case that showed an improvement in gonadotropin secretion as a result of corticosteroid therapy in POEMS syndrome.

[Application prospects of structure-function studies of gonadotropins].

The study of the respective roles of the polypeptide and oligosaccharide parts of gonadotropins in their biological activities has been undertaken for many years through chemical and enzymatic modifications of natural hormones, expression of wild-type and mutated recombinant hormones and synthesis of active peptides. The present paper proposes a short summary of the future application prospects of these studies as undertaken in our laboratory.
