Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist-induced pituitary apoplexy
UNLABELLED Pituitary apoplexy represents an uncommon endocrine emergency with potentially life-threatening consequences. Drug-induced pituitary apoplexy is a rare but important consideration when evaluating patients with this presentation. We describe an unusual case of a patient with a known pituitary macroadenoma presenting with acute-onset third nerve palsy and headache secondary to tumour e...
متن کاملPulsatile administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist to gilts actively immunized against gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
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...
متن کاملDown-regulation of proliferation and up-regulation of apoptosis by gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist in cultured uterine leiomyoma cells.
OBJECTIVE To elucidate the direct effects of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) on the growth of human uterine leiomyoma cells, cell proliferation and apoptosis in cultured leiomyoma cells treated with GnRHa were investigated. METHODS Isolated leiomyoma cells were subcultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS for 5 days and stepped down to serum-free conditions for an additional 6...
متن کاملFas and its ligand, caspases, and bcl-2 expression in gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist-treated uterine leiomyoma.
GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) therapy is known to shrink uterine leiomyoma, although the molecular mechanisms responsible for this effect remain poorly understood. Conflicting results exist as to whether GnRH-a treatment increases apoptosis in leiomyoma cells. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of GnRH-a on uterine leiomyomas by profiling the expression levels of apoptosis-related mole...
متن کاملgonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist therapy and obesity in girls
results from 110 subjects with cpp, 46 girls (41.8%) were considered as intervention and 64 (58.2%) as control groups. the mean age at initial visit was 7.46 ± 1.03 years. the bmi standard deviation scores in both groups was not significantly different at sixth and 12th months of treatment compared with baseline (p = 0.257 and p = 0.839, respectively). the prevalence of obesity was not signific...
