[Neurohumoral influences of steroid hormones on sexual responsiveness in women (author's transl)].
An analysis has been carried out on the basis of endocrinological and psychosomatic studies of the influence of steroid hormones, acting via probable transmitter substances, on the sexual response in women. From a review in the literature it can be concluded that among other factors the endocrine state of the women determines her sexual response and behaviour. However, the present lack of specific psychological tests is pointed out, as well as the absence of relevant hormonal data to the sexual sphere, both normal and pathological.
