Estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), testosterone (T), FSH, and LH levels were daily measured during a ten day period in 50 critically ill patients (38 men, 12 post-menopausal women). Patients were separated into four groups: A) no circulatory failure, no sepsis, B) sepsis syndrome without circulatory failure, C) circulatory failure without sepsis syndrome, D) septic shock. Results of hormonal measurements were compared 1) among the 4 groups, 2) between male and female patients, 3) between septic and nonseptic patients. The potential for the infusion of the vasoactive drug dobutamine to induce sex hormonal changes was documented in ten additional septic shock patients by measuring cortisol, E1, and T at base-line and after dobutamine infusion. Changes in active renin and plasma renin activity (PRA) were used as indirect witness of the dobutamine-induced beta 2-stimulation.
