The present study was designed to elucidate the feedback relationship between the release of pituitary gonadotropins and sex steroid hormones in Turner's syndrome and Klinefelter's syndrome. LH-RH stimulation test was employed to evaluate the effects of sex steroids on the release of gonadotropins. The release of gonadotropins in response to LH-RH as well as in baseline level was suppressed after the treatment with estrogen (mestranol 0.08 mg/day) for 10 days, followed by the treatment of the same period with estrogen (mestranol 0.08 mg/day) and progesterone (chlormadinone acetate 2.0 mg/day) in combination in both syndromes. The inhibitory effect of the combined treatment was greater than that of the treatment with estrogen alone. Administration of testosterone propionate (25 mg/day) for 3 days resulted in suppression of the release of both gonadotropins in baseline level and in response to LH-RH in both syndromes, but the suppressive effect appeared to be less complete as compared with that of estrogen or estrogen-progesterone. It was thus verified that the feedback interaction between the pituitary gonadotropin release and sex steroids such as estrogen, estrogen-progesterone or testosterone was operative in the same fashion in the patients with Turner's syndrome and Klinefelter's syndrome.
