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 کاملStructure of Chicken Hypothalamic Luteinizing Hormone-releasing Hormone
Avian luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) has been isolated from 249,000 chicken hypothalami and shown to differ structurally from mammalian hypothalamic LH-RH. Purification was achieved by acetic acid extraction, anti-LH-RH affinity chromatography, and cation exchange and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. The isolated peptide eluted as a single peak on reverse phas...
متن کاملStudies on the properties of hypothalamic luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone.
The effects of various chemical and enzymatic treatments on the biological activity of porcine luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) are described. This experiment was performed before the elucidation of the structure of LH-RH. LH-RH activity was abolished by the following endopeptidases: chymotrypsin, subtilisin, papain, and thermolysin, but not by pepsin or trypsin. Exopeptidases d...
متن کاملLuteinizing Hormone Concentrations in of Postpartum Beef Cows Injected Microencapsulated Luteinizing Hormone-releasing Hormone Analog 1 Serum With
Twenty-five cows were divided equally into five groups to determine whether [D-Trp6]luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH-A) microencapsulated in poly (DL-lactide co-glycolide) would increase basal serum concentrations of LH during the postpartum period. On d 5 postpartum, cows were injected i.m. with 2 ml of vehicle alone (Group 1) or vehicle containing microcapsules calculated to releas...
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...
