Luteinizing Hormone - Normal Levels

Normal Levels

LH levels are normally low during childhood and, in women, high after menopause. As LH is secreted as pulses, it is necessary to follow its concentration over a sufficient period of time to get a proper information about its blood level.

During the reproductive years, typical levels are between 1-20 IU/L. Physiologic high LH levels are seen during the LH surge (v.s.); typically they last 48 hours.

Famous quotes containing the words normal and/or levels:

    “Insecurity, commonly regarded as a weakness in normal people, is the basic tool of the actor’s trade.”
    —Miranda Richardson (b. 1958)

    “Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty; aid does away with it once and for all. Almsgiving leaves a man just where he was before. Aid restores him to society as an individual worthy of all respect and not as a man with a grievance. Almsgiving is the generosity of the rich; social aid levels up social inequalities. Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.”
    —Eva Perón (1919–1952)
