Serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone and hepatic functions were measured in 38 male alcoholics and in 24 male control subjects. Signficant elevation of serum LH and a trend of low serum testosterone were noted with scant evidence of advanced liver disease. None of the alcoholics had clinical stigmata of hypogonadism and feminization.
