Effects of the (imBzl)D-His6, Des-Gly analog of GnRH on gonadotropin and estradiol secretion in normal women. 1984

J DeFazio, and J K Lu, and W Vale, and J Rivier, and H L Judd, and D R Meldrum

The acute gonadotropin and estradiol responses following single subcutaneous injections of 10, 50, 100 and 200 micrograms of [(imBzl)]D-His6,Pro9-NEt]-GnRH were compared to those after 100 micrograms of [D-Trp6, Pro9-NEt]-GnRH. The gonadotropin responses after 50-100 micrograms of the D-His analog of GnRH were equivalent to those following 100 micrograms of the D-Trp analog. The ovarian E2 response, a reflection of the total cumulative secretion of gonadotropins, was similar at 100 micrograms of each analog. The estradiol response paralleled the increasing gonadotropin response accompanying the graded doses of the D-His analog, indicating the lack of a direct inhibitory action of this GnRH agonist on the ovary. Assessment of both gonadotropin and estradiol responses appears to be satisfactory for assessing relative potency among GnRH agonistic analogs.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007986 Luteinizing Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Luteinizing hormone regulates steroid production by the interstitial cells of the TESTIS and the OVARY. The preovulatory LUTEINIZING HORMONE surge in females induces OVULATION, and subsequent LUTEINIZATION of the follicle. LUTEINIZING HORMONE consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

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.

D004958 Estradiol The 17-beta-isomer of estradiol, an aromatized C18 steroid with hydroxyl group at 3-beta- and 17-beta-position.

D005260 Female Females
D005640 Follicle Stimulating Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates GAMETOGENESIS and the supporting cells such as the ovarian GRANULOSA CELLS, the testicular SERTOLI CELLS, and LEYDIG CELLS. FSH consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

D006062 Gonadotropins Hormones that stimulate gonadal functions such as GAMETOGENESIS and sex steroid hormone production in the OVARY and the TESTIS. Major gonadotropins are glycoproteins produced primarily by the adenohypophysis (GONADOTROPINS, PITUITARY) and the placenta (CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN). In some species, pituitary PROLACTIN and PLACENTAL LACTOGEN exert some luteotropic activities. Gonadotropin
