Overall 146 females suffering from essential hypertension (borderline, stage I and II according to WHO, 1980) were examined for basal concentrations of estradiol, estriol, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, ACTH, prolactin in plasma, LH and FSH in blood and urine. The patients and 69 control normotensive females were reproductive, premenopausal, menopausal, postmenopausal, postcastration. Latent hypertension was elicited at bicycle exercise. It was found that relationships between sex hormones and gonadotropins both in hypertensive and normotensive women did not differ noticeably in reproductive period and in menopause. Hormone defects due to primary and secondary infertility, castration, menopause did not raise the risk of arterial hypertension onset. An-Unfavorable course of hypertension was observed in premenopause, following operative castration, in climacteric syndrome. The severity of AH at reproductive age was associated with hyposecretion of progesterone, estrogens and gonadotropins LH, FSH. This relationship was absent in menopausal women. A conclusion is proposed on miner significance of sex hormones imbalance and gonadotropins in the onset of arterial hypertension in females varying by generative activity.

One hundred and sixty-three male patients with essential hypertension (EH) stage I (68 subjects) and II (95 subjects) were compared to healthy controls by concentrations of renin, aldosterone, LH, FSH, prolactin and estradiol assessed by means of radioimmunoassay. The findings show that unlike healthy controls EH patients have low levels of LH and testosterone, high prolactin and unchanged FSH and estradiol concentrations. The involutional dynamics is similar for patients and controls: dissociation in the levels of hypophyseal hormones and testosterone. An age-specific trend in prolactinemia was related to EH severity.

A 46-year-old Japanese male was admitted for the evaluation of severe hypertension. He was obese and had a eunuchoidal body habitus. Chromosomal analysis revealed a 46, XY/47, XXY karyotype. Serum LH, FSH and testosterone levels were low, indicating hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Endocrinological dynamic tests disclosed presence of hypothalamic panhypopituitarism, partial diabetes insipidus, type 2 diabetes mellitus and low renin essential hypertension. Brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed intra- and extrasellar masses. Histological examination of the tissue obtained at transsphenoidal surgery showed a Rathke's cleft cyst (RCC). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of mosaic Klinefelter's syndrome accompanied by symptomatic RCC, type 2 diabetes mellitus and low renin essential hypertension.
