"Simultaneous administration of hCG and the estrogen antagonist tamoxifen (20 mg twice daily) almost completely abolished the hCG-induced steroidogenic block localized between 17 OHP and T (17 OHP to T ratio at 24 h, 1.1 +/- 0.1 times baseline; P < 0.01 vs. hCG alone).
This was a short duration study but a newer study showed similar results , the issue with newer one is that it didn't clarify if the effect of tamox stopped at blocking the damage done by HCG or went beyond that like it did in the old short duration study !!!
