New gonadotropin-releasing hormone glycolipids with direct antiproliferative activity and gonadotropin-releasing potency

GnRH Glycolipids with In Vitro Gonadotropin Hormone Releasing Properties and Direct Antiproliferative Activity on Prostate and Ovarian Cancer Cells

Pulsatile administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist to gilts actively immunized against gonadotropin-releasing hormone.

Sexually mature gilts (n = 20) were actively immunized against GnRH. Primary and booster immunizations of GnRH conjugated to bovine serum albumin induced production of antibodies in all gilts. Nineteen of the gilts became acyclic with suppressed concentrations of gonadotropins and estradiol. Intravenous challenges with 100 micrograms GnRH and 5 micrograms D-(Ala6, des-Gly-NH2(10)) ethylamide Gn...

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue conjugates with strong selective antitumor activity.

Conjugation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues GnRH-III, MI-1544, and MI-1892 through lysyl side chains and a tetrapeptide spacer, Gly-Phe-Leu-Gly (X) to a copolymer, poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone-co-maleic acid) (P) caused increased antiproliferative activity toward MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast, PC3 and LNCaP prostate, and Ishikawa endometrial cancer cell lines in culture and against ...

the anticancer activity compared between triptorelin and a new gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue

gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh) plays a key role in reproduction. this decapeptide is synthesized and released by hypothalamus and induces the pituitary gonadotrop cells to release pituitary gonadotropin hormones. in some extrapituitary compartments gnrh and its receptor act as part of the autocrine regulatory system of cell proliferation. the anticancer activity of gnrh and its analogues...

Function of gonadotropin-releasing hormone in olfaction.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is present within neurons of the nervus terminalis, the zeroeth cranial nerve. In all vertebrate species, except in sharks where it is a separate nerve, the nervus terminalis consists of a chain of neurons embedded within olfactory or vomeronasal nerves in the nasal cavity. The function of the GnRH component of the nervus terminalis is thought to be neuromo...
