Immunoassay of human plasma LH and FSH level was carried out in the Institute of Nuclear Medicine, Bangladesh. Apparently normal male and female volunteers and subjects having primary sterility were studied. Plasma LH and FSH levels of normal males ranged from 1.9 to 20.48 (mean 7.3) and 1.17 to 6.75 (mean 3.30) m IU/ml respectively. Corresponding values for females were 0.99 to 38.92 (mean 17.94). Level of LH and FSH in azoospermic males were found higher than normal ones with the mean value of 17.0 and 5.67 m IU/ml respectively. The study gives an impression about the plasma LH and FSH levels in azoospermia and normal population in Bangladesh.
