LH, IU/L | 5.3 ± 2.9 (n = 72) | 25.4 ± 10.8b (n = 72) | 1.22 ± 0.43 (n = 72) | 5.2 ± 2.37b (n = 72) | 2.2–8.2 |

Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. During saline control and Kp-10, 12 measurements of estradiol and inhibin B were performed. To convert estradiol in pg/mL to pmol/L, multiply by 3.671. To convert testosterone values in ng/mL to nmol/L, multiply by 3.467.
Normal values were taken from the early follicular phase, days 3 to 6 after onset of menses; data from 51 healthy women [22].
