Starting from 48 cases of gynecomastia, the authors report the following findings: -- Impairment of the testis function, as assessed by a low plasma level of testosterone, is rare. -- Basal values of gonadotropins are generally normal. -- Increased oestrogen urinary excretion and blood level are rarely found but, when present, they tend to decrease at successive evaluations. -- In six cases, plasmatic oestradiol can be suppressed by dexamethasone; although the small number of cases does not allow a definite conclusion, one might suggest a predominant adrenal source of plasmatic oestradiol.
作者从48例男性乳腺增生症患者入手，报告了以下发现：——通过低血浆睾酮水平评估，睾丸功能受损情况罕见。——促性腺激素基础值通常正常。——雌激素尿排泄量和血水平升高情况很少见，但一旦出现，在后续评估中往往会降低。——6例患者中，地塞米松可抑制血浆雌二醇；尽管病例数较少无法得出明确结论，但有人可能会认为血浆雌二醇主要来源于肾上腺。
