Notes:
Summary Plasma luteinizing hormone (LH) levels were significantly lower in 10 postmenopausal women with Parkinson's disease (PD) compared to agematched controls. The remaining hypophyseal hormones and gonadal steroids were similar in PD patients and in controls, suggesting a selective alteration of hypothalamic dopaminergic mechanisms which regulate LH secretion.
