The mechanism is not known, but one hypothesis is through down-modulation of luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion, a hormone whith antagonistic effect on gastrointestinal motility.

Central precocious puberty (CPP) is due to the premature activation of hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis, which responsible for appearance secondary sexual characteristics.

Causes are similar both sexes, but idiopathic form more frequent girls, while organic forms Recent studies demonstrat...

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...
