| Popis: | This study examines the basal testosterone production of a group of 25 women aged 18 to 35 years with hirsutism managed by 3 simple forms of treatment: 1) a small evening dose of betamethasone for adrenal suppression; 2) anovulatory steroid; and 3) combination of the 2 drugs. The women were studied before and after treatment with basal plasma testosterone assays and a metabolic clearance rate determination. Competitive protein binding measured testosterone after preliminary chromatography. Mean basal plasma testosterone level was 70 +or- 30 ng/dl significantly higher than the mean (50 +or- ng/dl) for 23 normal women (p |
