RESUMO
The serum levels of estrone, estradiol and estriol in males with various stages of bilharzial liver disease were determined using a radioimmunoassay method. The study included thirty male patients with bilharzial liver disease representing the three stages of hepato-splenomegaly, shrunken liver and ascites. Twenty healthy males were taken as controls. Serum estrone and estriol levels were significantly higher, serum estradiol showed either mild decrease or insignificant change in the bilharzial group as compared to the normals.

Estrone, estradiol, estriol, progesterone, 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone levels were determined in sera of 20 fertile men and 15 male patients with Sertoli cell only syndrome. In men with Sertoli cel only syndrome there was a significant decrease in serum estrone, estradiol, progesterone, 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, and dihydrotestosterone and a significant increase in serum estriol and testosterone. Changes in endocrine profile discussed in relation to the possible role of inhibin.

Serum estrone, estradiol, estriol, progesterone, 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone, and testosterone were determined in the sera of 25 normal males and 25 patients with obstructive azoospermia. An increase in testosterone and estriol levels, and a decrease in other hormones were demonstrated in patients with obstructive azoospermia. These long-term effects of obstruction of the vas apparently also occur in comparable situations, for example, after vasectomy.
