Abstract
A method is descr. whereby the ratio of FSH and LH present in human pituitary tissue can be ascertained in terms of well-known qualitative end points in the gonads of hypophysectomized rats of both sexes. Pituitary glands of 3 adult men contained 100 units of FSH and 100 units of LH per pituitary, a ratio of 1:1. By comparison on an equal wt. basis with pituitary tissue, the urine of adult men contained only minute amounts of gonadotropins, but proportionately, there was much more FSH relative to LH, in a ratio much greater than 2:1.Keywords
