摘要：
Menopausal flush episodes were found to be invariably associated with the initiation of pulsatile pituitary release of luteinizing hormone. This was not accompanied by a significant change in circulating catecholamine or prolactin concentrations. Since pulsatile luteinizing hormone release results from episodic secretion of luteinizing hormone releasing factor by the hypothalamus, these findings suggest a link between the neuroendocrine mechanisms that initiate such episodic secretion and those responsible for the onset of flush episodes.
