Summary
The study design included six visits. During the first visit (visit 0), the subjects
underwent physical examination(height, weight, body mass index (BMI), arm span, and upper
segment measurement) and testicular ultrasound (US) for the calculation of testicular volume.
At 0800 h of day 0, all subjects provided a basal blood sample immediately followed by a
single intramuscular injection of hCG of 5000 IU. Further five visits were performed each of
five following consecutive days after the hCG injection. A blood sample was taken at each
visit after an overnight fast
