Abstract

The effect of intravenous synthetic luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LH-RH) on plasma radioimmunoassayable levels of gonadotropins was investigated in 6 women suffering from Cushing's disease with bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. In five of six cases no significant variation of plasma LH levels was found following stimulation; in one case the response to LH-RH was present although slightly reduced below the normal range. By contrast in all cases the plasma FSH response was similar to that recorded in normal subjects. The explanation of impaired LH response is not clear but the possibility that endogenous hypercortisolism affects the pituitary responsiveness to LH-RH has to be considered.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In patients with Cushing's syndrome, long-term hypercortisolemia has been associated with decreased LH and FSH concentrations and hypogonadotropic amenorrhea, irrespective of coexistent hyperandrogenemia.

    “In patients with Cushing's syndrome, long-term hypercortisolemia has been associated with decreased LH and FSH concentrations and hypogonadotropic amenorrhea, irrespective of coexistent hyperandrogenemia [18,19].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
