The influence of the administration of ACTH 1-17 on the sexual behavior has been studied in a group of male patients affected by psychogenic impotence, i.e. without any detectable organic reason for such disturbance. The administration of the drug led to a notable increase in the sexual performance of the patients. By the way, all the hormonal parameters taken into account (gonadotropins, sexual steroids, adrenal steroids, etc.), were not affected by the treatment. The AA. conclude therefore that the beneficial effect of the ACTH 1-17 on the sexual behavior was due to a direct action on the CNS and was not hormone-mediated.

Abstract
The influence of the administration of ACTH 1-17 on the sexual behavior has been studied in a group of male patients affected by psychogenic impotence, i.e. without any detectable organic reason for such disturbance. The administration of the drug led to a notable increase in the sexual performance of the patients. By the way, all the hormonal parameters taken into account (gonadotropins, sexual steroids, adrenal steroids, etc.), were not affected by the treatment. The AA. conclude therefore that the beneficial effect of the ACTH 1-17 on the sexual behavior was due to a direct action on the CNS and was not hormone-mediated.File in questo prodotto:
