The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & MetabolismSyndrome Characterized by Gynecomastia, Aspermatogenesis without A-Leydigism, and Increased Excretion of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone1
1,064 Citations1942Harry F. Klinefelter, Edward C. Reifenstein +1 more
The syndrome under discussion begins during 11 adolescence and is characterised by gynecomastia and a very specific type of hypogonadism, and evidence of normal to moderately reduced function of the Leydig cells, increased excretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and usually a reduced excrete of 17-ketosteroids is found.

211 Citations1947E. B. DEL CASTILLO, Armando E. Trabucco +1 more
Evidence of the existence of a second testicular hormone is strengthened by the observations reported and a specific function for the Sertoli cells is established.

The virilizing so-called “adrenal tumors” and “luteoma” must be referred to the androblastoma series, particularly on the basis of transition forms demonstrated between these and the Leydig cells in arrhenoblastomas.

This work has attempted to categorize instances of male hypogonadism by separating those cases in which failure occurred during adulthood, for example, the male climacteric from those in whichfailure occurred at or before-puberty, by subdividing the prepuberal-failure group into their constituent sub-groups or syndromes.

Comparison with the effects of castration shows that the elimination of the functional activity of the seminal epithelium does not lead to obesity, and rats which have been rendered obese by exposure to radium are more resistant to the growth of transplantable tumours.

The present investigation was undertaken in order to isolate and identify the oestrogens responsible for the high oestrogenic potency of horse testes extracts.

61 Citations1949M Berthrong, Willard E. Goodwin +1 more
There is a considerable body of evidence to suggest that tubular testicular enlarging effects are secondary to the production of an androgenic substance or substances presumed to come exclusively from the interstitial cells of Leydig independent of the generative tissue of the testis.

The active material in stallion urine is similar to the follicular hormone on the basis of the production of uterine hypertrophy, an antimasculine action, the induction of lactation in the male guinea pig, and the positive vaginal smear reaction.

The hormonal contents of over one hundred human hypophyses which were pre-served during autopsies performed within 24 hours after death were studied to study the comparative physiology of the pituitary of all vertebrate classes.

A definite decrease in the elimination of gonadotropins is reported following administration of testosterone propionate to castrate males.

The observations show that the two component tissues of the testis, the spermatogenetic tissue and the interstitial tissue, have two distinct and independent effects on the organism, and that of these two effects that of theInterstitial cells is the more profound one.

Clinical evidence has been accumulated which indicates that similar results may, under certain circumstances, be demonstrated in man, and the relative inefficiency of testosterone for inhibition of pituitary activity has been shown before.

18 Citations1934Warren O. Nelson
With the exception of castrates receiving Antuitrin-S, whose pituitaries were in no way altered, the typical pictures in the hypophyses of all the above animals were very similar and the most striking effect has been a pronounced decrease in the number of normal basophiles.
