TSH response to TRH was impaired in about half the cases, without concomitant thyroid dysfunction. LH and FSH levels were often elevated, with inconsistent
Somatotropic, thyrotropic, gonadotropic and corticotropic functions in 10 patients with idiopathic hypopituitary dwarfism (IH) were investigated. The patients were divided into two groups: Group I (5 patients) had normal plasma T4 levels, and Group II (5 patients) had T4 levels of less than 4.6 micr
