SHBG levels during clomiphene citrate test in women with endometriosis before, during and after danazol treatment
Abstract
Ten patients, aged 21-37, suffering from endometriosis, which was confirmed by laparoscopy, were treated with danazol at a dose of 200 mg three times daily for six months. Clomiphene citrate test (50 mg twice daily for five days) was carried out before danazol treatment, during the last fortnight of the sixth month of treatment and three months after cessation of the danazol treatment. The same test was also carried out, only once, on ten normal women, aged 21-36. Three blood samples (one every hour) for determination of sex-hormone binding globulin levels (SHBG) were taken in all women before clomiphene citrate and twelve hours after cessation of clomiphene. The following results were noted: 1. SHBG levels were significantly higher in patients with endometriosis compared with controls (p<0,01). 2. A marked decrease in SHBG values (p < 0,001) was noted during danazol therapy as compared with pretreatment values. 3. There was no correlation between the SHBG levels before and after danaz ...
