| Abstract: | On a male group of patients investigations of the behaviour of the testosterone, LH, cortisol and ACTH serum concentrations in the hospital phase of the acute myocardial infarction were carried out. Apart from an early activation of the adreno-cortico-pituitary axis a decrease of the testosterone concentrations at consistent LH levels was observed. On healthy test persons in the ACTH and hydrocortisone tolerance test possible interactions between adrenocortical and gonadal hormone system were controlled. |
