Potent long acting anologs of GnRH are of great interest especially in view of treatment of hypothalamic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and of cryptorchidism. To find necessary parenteral doses of such a substance immunoreactive serum LH and FSH were measured in 4 normal adult human males after s.c. injection of various doses of D-Leu6-des-Gly10-GnRH-EA. 5 microgram of the GnRH anlog were necessary to obtain increased serum gonadotropins over a period of at least 8 h. Comparable maximal levels were seen after i.v. bolus injection of 25 microgram natural GnRH a dose as used in diagnostic routine tests in 3 probands. Comparing the areas under the curves of LH secretion an over 15 times greater effectiveness of the analog was calculated.

D007987 Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone A decapeptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of both pituitary gonadotropins, LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. GnRH is produced by neurons in the septum PREOPTIC AREA of the HYPOTHALAMUS and released into the pituitary portal blood, leading to stimulation of GONADOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.

D006065 Gonadotropins, Pituitary Hormones secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR) that stimulate gonadal functions in both males and females. They include FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE that stimulates germ cell maturation (OOGENESIS; SPERMATOGENESIS), and LUTEINIZING HORMONE that stimulates the production of sex steroids (ESTROGENS; PROGESTERONE; ANDROGENS).
