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 کاملChanges in prolactin levels caused by luteinizing hormone releasing hormone.
The acute effects of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) on the release of prolactin (PRL) were investigated in 12 normal cycling women and 42 women with various menstrual disorders. LHRH (100 micrograms) was bolusly injected intramuscularly and PRL levels were measured immediately before the injection and at 30 minutes and 60 minutes after the injection. LHRH elicited an increase of m...
متن کاملDecapeptides as effective agonists from L-amino acids biologically equivalent to the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone.
Apparently, no agonist has been found that is comparable in potency to the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) for release of LH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) without substitutions with unnatural or D forms of natural amino acids. Of 139 known "agonist analogs" of LHRH, two were active in the range of 65%. The four LHRHs known to occur in nature involve a total of six amino ac...
متن کاملThe relationship between serum hormone levels (follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, total testosterone) and semen parameters.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of serum gonadotropin and total testosterone levels on semen parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three hundred and eighty-two patients that applied to a male infertility polyclinic were included in our study. Serum gonadotropin and total testosterone levels and semen parameters of the patients were analyzed during the first visit to ...
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 ...
