Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone antagonists.
BACKGROUND Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) plays a central role in the vertebrate reproduction by regulating gonadal activity. Based on its binding to pituitary LH-RH receptors, as well as to LH-RH receptors expressed on cancer cells, LH-RH agonists and antagonists have been developed for different therapeutic applications. OBJECTIVE/METHOD Here we give an overview of the most r...
متن کاملAutoradiographic localization of thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptors in the rat central nervous system.
We employed quantitative autoradiography to examine the distribution of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) receptors in the rat CNS. The binding of [3H]3-methyl-histidine-TRH [( 3H]MeTRH) to TRH receptors in frozen rat brain sections was saturable, of a high affinity (Kd = 5 nM), and specific for TRH analogs. Autoradiograms of [3H]MeTRH binding showed highest concentrations of TRH receptors in...
متن کاملEffect of hypothalamic deafferentation on the distribution of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) in the rat brain.
Anterior (AHD) and complete hypothalamic deafferentation (CHD) were performed in female rats to ascertain the origin of LHRH detected in the external layer of ME. Deafferented brains were serially sectioned in a cryostat in the frontal plane. LHRH activity in each section was determined by RIA. While AHD, using a knife with a small radius caused no change in the distribution of LHRH in the brai...
متن کاملLocalization of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) neurons that project to the median eminence.
The neuropeptide, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), is released from nerve terminals in the median eminence and carried via the hypophysial portal system to the anterior pituitary, where it stimulates the release of gonadotropins. LHRH-containing neurons are located in many different regions of the rodent brain, including olfactory, septal, preoptic, and hypothalamic structures. Sin...
متن کاملSubstantial expression of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) receptor type I in human uveal melanoma
Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults, with a very high mortality rate due to frequent liver metastases. Consequently, the therapy of uveal melanoma remains a major clinical challenge and new treatment approaches are needed. For improving diagnosis and designing a rational and effective therapy, it is essential to elucidate molecular characteristics of this ...
