1 The aim of this study was to determine whether basal inhibin B levels are able to predict testosterone response to hCG in idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) patients and to evaluate the correlation between inhibin B and gonadotropins in these patients and controls. Testosterone hypertrichosis 2 (generalised, congenital) Homo sapiens
2 Inhibin B and the hCG-induced free testosterone and total testosterone increment correlated strongly (r=0.802, P<.001; r=0.793, P<.001, respectively). Testosterone hypertrichosis 2 (generalised, congenital) Homo sapiens
3 Inhibin B and the hCG-induced free testosterone and total testosterone increment correlated strongly (r=0.802, P<.001; r=0.793, P<.001, respectively). Testosterone hypertrichosis 2 (generalised, congenital) Homo sapiens
4 We conclude that basal inhibin B predicts the testosterone response to hCG in IHH patients and therefore gives reliable information about Leydig cell reserve. Testosterone hypertrichosis 2 (generalised, congenital) Homo sapiens
