ABSTRACT Serum levels of FSH, LH, TSH, and GH were studied in 17 parkinsonian patients before treatment with L‐DOPA and in 25 patients during treatment with L‐DOPA. A radioimmunosorbent technique was used. With few exceptions the hormone levels were normal in the non‐treated patients. No statistically significant differences between the treated and non‐treated patients were found.
