Gonadorelin has been used to test pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH) responsiveness. Administered as a 100 eg test dose, the average times to peak LH levels are 34 minutes (men) or 72 minutes (women) following subcutaneous gonadorelin and 27 minutes (men) or 36 minutes (women) following intravenous gonadorelin. There is considerable individual variation in response. [Pg.865]

In human subjects, deltorphin inhibits the secretion of growth hormone and ACTH induced by insulin-induced hypoglycemia and modulates the secretion of pituitary luteinizing hormone in women [88-91]. [Pg.185]

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that propazine belongs to a group of other triazines (including atrazine, simazine, and some related metabolites) that act through a common mechanism of toxicity based on ability to suppress the pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH) surge and elicit effects on reproductive function and development.

Since the early studies by Marks (1973) on the inhibitory effects of THC on pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion, a number of papers reported similar effects (Smith et al. 1980 Steger et al. 1980 Wenger et al. 1987). THC suppresses the tonic circulating level of LH in male rats (Chakravartyet al. 1982) and episodic LH secretion in female animals (Tyrey 1980). [Pg.562]
