Alterations in circulating gonadotrophins have been reported at the time of onset of menopausal flushes. In order to study this association D-SER(TBU)6-EA10-LHRH, a luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist was given intranasally at a dose of 200 micrograms twice daily to 12 post-menopausal women to study its effect on gonadotrophin secretion and hot flushes. Following an initial period of 3-5 days of increased gonadotrophin secretion, pituitary desensitization occurred, with a significant suppression of circulating LH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels (P less than 0.001) and a reduction in gonadotrophin pulse amplitude (P less than 0.05). This was accompanied by a significant diminution of the pituitary's response to exogenous LHRH (P less than 0.05). However, no significant alteration in the incidence of hot flushes was observed on such therapy.
