Nascimento, Leonardo Giacomini, Luciana A. Naves, M.D., Lucilia Domingues Casulari da Motta, M.D., Lawrence C.

2 Figure 1 Schematic representation of the endocrine evaluation protocol. Serial samples of LH were drawn overnight. After dexamethasone suppression for 2 days, serum steroids were measured at baseline and repeated after hCG administration, and, 1 month later, after hCG + recombinant FSH administration. Gonadotropin administration = long arrows; blood samples collections for steroid data = short arrows. Adapted from Barnes et al. (7).
