Oncology. 1984:41 Suppl 1:53-5. doi: 10.1159/000225886.

Abstract

Lonidamine was given for 3 weeks at the dose of 150 mg three times daily to 6 male cancer patients. Serum follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormone levels were significantly higher as compared to pretreatment values after 1 and 3 weeks of Lonidamine administration, while testosterone, prolactin, and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels remained unchanged.
