Klinefelter's syndrome: hormone metabolism in hypogonadal males with systemic lupus erythematosus

J Rheumatol Suppl. 1987 Jun:14 Suppl 13:154-7.

Abstract

Estrone hydroxylation, testosterone oxidation and the products of such hormone metabolism were studied in hypogonadal males. The sex steroid metabolism of patients with Klinefelter's syndrome with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is similar to that of women with SLE.
