Detection and management of late-onset 21-hydroxylase deficiency in women with hyperandrogenism.
Moderate forms of 21-hydroxylase deficiency (D21OH-NC), the so-called non-classical or late-onset forms are a frequently reported cause of hyperandrogenism in women [1-5]. The purpose of this collective and synthetic work was to provide the endocrinologist, gynecologist and dermatologist with consensual information so as to detect the maximum cases with acceptable cost-benefit ratio and to define the main lines of optimal patient management, given the data currently available in medical literature.

Preliminary investigations into the endocrine systems of subfertile cattle: location of a common lesion (rate-limiting step).
Dairy cows with a variety of clinical conditions were investigated in an attempt to identify the cause(s) of subfertility. Sequential or simultaneous injections of 20 micrograms gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH), 1 mg oestradiol benzoate and 0.06 mg ACTH(1-24) into five clinical cases of ovarian follicular cysts, two cases of poor body condition and one case of lameness and into control cows revealed a failure in the LH positive-feedback response to oestradiol in all eight clinical cases, but in only two out of twelve control cows. Two of the clinical cases and the two non-responding control cows had high or rising initial progesterone concentrations which would explain the absence of response. All cows studied responded similarly to GnRH and ACTH(1-24). It is suggested that hypothalamus-pituitary control of LH release may involve a rate-limiting step (in the oestradiol positive-feedback system) and that lesions at this point result in subfertility in a variety of clinical situations.
