Sixteen women volunteers with menstrual irregularities were studied with an intravenous injection of 100 microgram of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GNRH). Serial blood samples were obtained for 2 hours after the injection and assayed for their concentration of glucose, insulin, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). There was a significant increase in the levels of both gonadotropins following the injection, with the peak for LH occurring at 30 minutes and the peak for FSH occurring at 90 minutes. There was a slight decrease in the glucose level at 45 minutes and in the insulin levels at 60 and 120 minutes. Because GNRH causes only minor changes in these parameters of carbohydrate metabolism, it would appear to be safe to use in women with ovulatory abnormalities secondary to diabetes mellitus.
