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 کاملThe response to luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone in normal men.
Synthetic luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) was given in doses of 11-100 Vg to normal men. Doses of 50 and 100 t±g caused a twoto ten-fold rise in serum LH in all subjects, but in only 40% was the serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) elevated. A significantly higher LH response to LHRH was seen in subjects in whom a rise in serum FSH could be detected. Although there was a wide ...
متن کاملHuman malignant melanomas express receptors for luteinizing hormone releasing hormone allowing targeted therapy with cytotoxic luteinizing hormone releasing hormone analogue.
Cytotoxic analogue of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH), AN-207, binds with high affinity to LHRH receptors and can be targeted to tumors expressing these receptors. We investigated the expression of LHRH receptors in surgical specimens of human malignant melanoma and evaluated the effects of AN-207 in models of human melanoma. Human melanoma specimens derived from primary tumors or ...
متن کاملLuteinizing hormone response to gonadotrophin-releasing hormone in normal women undergoing ovulation induction with urinary or recombinant follicle stimulating hormone.
Oestradiol enhances pituitary sensitivity to gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in normal women, while in women undergoing ovulation induction the putative factor gonadotrophin surge attenuating factor (GnSAF) attenuates the response of luteinizing hormone (LH) to GnRH. To study the relationships between oestradiol and GnSAF during ovulation induction, 15 normally ovulating women were inves...
متن کاملLuteinizing hormone-releasing hormone neurons express Fos protein during the proestrous surge of luteinizing hormone.
The ability of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) neurons to express the oncogene c-fos was examined during the estrous cycle in rats. The immunocytochemical localization of the c-fos-encoded antigen, Fos, was coupled with the immunocytochemical localization of LHRH. LHRH neurons showed no Fos immunoreactivity during diestrus-1, diestrus-2, estrus, or the morning of proestrus. However...
