Plasma testosterone has been studied in 31 full-term male infants born with bilaterally undescended testes (14) or unilaterally undescended testis (17). From 10 to 89 days after birth, the post-natal testosterone rise was significantly lower in the 18 infants who remained cryptorchid at 4 months than in the 13 who underwent spontaneous testicular descensus and in the normal controls. Blunted post-natal Leydig cell secretion in cryptorchids may relate to a primary LH defect and could contribute to the impairment of both testicular descensus and maturation.
对31名足月出生的男婴进行了血浆睾酮研究，这些男婴患有双侧隐睾（14例）或单侧隐睾（17例）。出生后10至89天，4个月时仍为隐睾的18名婴儿的出生后睾酮升高明显低于13名睾丸自然下降的婴儿和正常对照组。隐睾患儿出生后睾丸间质细胞分泌减弱可能与原发性促黄体生成素缺陷有关，并可能导致睾丸下降和成熟受损。
