reproductive hormones in normal and vasectomized Chinese males.

Abstract:
Plasma reproductive hormones (testosterone, LH, FSH and prolactin)
were measured in 298 normal healthy males aged 30-73 years
from rural areas of Sichuan Province, People's Republic of
China, and in 505 similar men vasectomized between 1 year
and 25 years previously. Age-related increases in LH and FSH
but not in testosterone or prolactin were noted in normal
men. No adverse effects of vasectomy were observed apart from
a 16% increase in mean LH levels in the vasectomized compared
to non- vasectomized men of similar ages
