Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates the release and synthesis of gonadotropin hormones (GtH) and is the key regulator of reproduction. The present study was carried out to design a potent GnRH analogue containing Tyr(OMe) at position 5 and a D-amino acid at position 6. This was based on

โฆ Synopsis
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulates luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) release from pituitary gonadotrope cells. Additional receptor-mediated actions of the releasing hormone include homologous regulation of both the GnRH receptor and of cell responsiveness. While it is apparent that the release mechanism is Ca2+ mediated, it remains unclear how this receptormediated action is integrated with regulation of the receptor and with cell responsiveness. It is the purpose of this review to describe the requirements for gonadotropin release as well as for receptor and response regulation in order to prepare an integrated model for these actions of the releasing hormone.
