CA$80.00
Gonadorelin acetate is a synthetic version of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which plays a key role in regulating reproductive hormones. Here are the primary uses and benefits of Gonadorelin acetate:
Uses and Benefits
-
Diagnosis of Hormonal Function:
- Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland Function: Gonadorelin is used to test the function of the hypothalamus and pituitary glands by stimulating the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This helps diagnose conditions related to these glands (Mayo Clinic) (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center).
-
Treatment of Infertility:
- Inducing Ovulation: Gonadorelin can induce ovulation in women who do not ovulate regularly due to hypothalamic insufficiency. This helps in treating infertility by promoting the release of eggs from the ovaries (DrugBank) (GeneMedics).
- Male Infertility: It is also used to treat male infertility by increasing testosterone levels and improving sperm production (Muscle and Brawn).
-
Management of Amenorrhea:
- Restoring Menstrual Cycles: Gonadorelin can help restore regular menstrual cycles in women with amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) caused by insufficient GnRH release (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center).
-
Potential Cancer Treatments:
- Anti-Tumor Effects: Research indicates that Gonadorelin may have anti-tumor properties, making it a candidate for treating certain hormone-sensitive cancers (GeneMedics).
Dosage and Administration
- Typical Dosage: For diagnosing hormonal function, a common dosage is a single intravenous injection of 0.1 mg. For treating infertility and amenorrhea, dosages can vary, and administration may be done via a pump that delivers the hormone at regular intervals (Muscle and Brawn) (DrugBank).
- Administration: Gonadorelin can be administered intravenously or subcutaneously, depending on the specific treatment protocol (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center).
