Combined use of clomiphene and intranasal luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone for induction of ovulation in chronically anovulatory women. 1980

S A Phansey, and M A Barnes, and H O Williamson, and J Sagel, and R M Nair

Combined therapy with clomiphene and intranasal luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) was used to induce ovulation in eight chronically anovulatory patients under treatment for infertility. Clomiphene, 100 mg daily, was given from the 5th to the 9th day of the cycle. Synthetic LHRH was administered intranasally in different dosages from day 11 to day 14, in an attempt to induce late follicular development and ovulation. Five of the eight patients ovulated, and three conceived. The success achieved with combined clomiphene and intranasal LHRH administration suggests a therapeutic potential in the management of anovulatory infertility.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

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
