OTHER HEALTH INFORMATION:
The toxicological properties of sGnRHa have not been thoroughly
investigated. The actions are similar to luteinizing hormone releasing
hormone (LHRH, Gonadotropin releasing hormone, GnRH) in humans. LHRH is the
key mediator in the liberation of the pituitary gonadotropins, luteinizing
hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). LHRH may modify
reproductive ability by influencing plasma gonadotropin levels and
comcomitantly gonadal steroid levels.
