Disease relevance of Eunuchism

Physical examination revealed eunuchoidism but no osteodystrophy, while laboratory data revealed severe hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and elevated parathyroid hormone [1].

High impact information on Eunuchism

Most men with hypogonadotropic eunuchoidism have absent luteinizing hormone and presumably absent luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone pulses [2].
Eunuchs and eunuchism - an historical discourse. Part II - Civil law [3].
The specialized Sertoli junctions that blocked the penetration of lanthanum were formed six months to two years after hCG treatment (5000 IU twice a week) in patients of hypogonadotropic eunuchoidism [4].
A case of hypogonadotropic eunuchoidism associated with familiar periodic paralysis--induction of paralytic attacks by testosterone administration [5].

Chemical compound and disease context of Eunuchism

Pulsatile luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone therapy is effective in restoring normal gonadotropin secretion and testicular function and inducing fertility in men with hypogonadotropic eunuchoidism [2].
