LH and Kisspeptin pulse parameters

Integrated plasma concentrations
LH mIU/ml
Kisspeptin ng/ml
Pulse frequency/2 h
All patients (n  = 71)
 Kisspeptin (n = 65) 1.8 ± 0.1 2.2 ± 0.1
 LH (n = 59) 1.7 ± 0.1 2.5 ± 0.2
Hypo-LH (n = 58)
 Kisspeptin (n = 52) 1.7 ± 0.1** 2.2 ± 0.1
 LH (n = 47) 1.3 ± 0.1*** 2.4 ± 0.2
Normo-LH (n = 13)
 Kisspeptin (n = 13) 2.6 ± 0.3 2.2 ± 0.3

Close to each hormone the number of studied pulsatilities is reported
