The authors evaluated the gonadotropin-testosterone-estradiol profiles of four homosexual men and four heterosexual men by a multiple-sampling technique. Although there was extensive overlap between the two groups, the homosexual subjects had higher estradiol levels than the heterosexuals (70.3 +/- 19.8 versus 56.8 +/- 10.7 pg/ml) and lower FSH values (5.1 +/- 1.0 versus 13.2 +/- 3.4 mIU/ml). Testosterone and luteinizing hormone levels were comparable in the two groups. These observations suggest that there may be subtle differences in gonadotropin and estradiol secretion in homosexual subjects that can be detected only by repeated sampling.
作者通过多次采样技术评估了四名同性恋男性和四名异性恋男性的促性腺激素 - 睾酮 - 雌二醇水平。虽然两组之间存在广泛重叠，但同性恋受试者的雌二醇水平高于异性恋者（70.3±19.8对56.8±10.7 pg/ml），促卵泡激素（FSH）值较低（5.1±1.0对13.2±3.4 mIU/ml）。两组的睾酮和黄体生成素水平相当。这些观察结果表明，同性恋受试者的促性腺激素和雌二醇分泌可能存在细微差异，只有通过重复采样才能检测到。
