Introduction: Orchidectomy is currently the preferred method to induce bone loss in preclinical male osteoporosis model. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists used in prostate cancer treatment can induce testosterone deficiency but its effects on bone in preclinical male osteoporosis model are less studied. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the skeletal effect of buserelin (a GnR...

these lesions improved and worsened cyclically along with buserelin acetate administration, the symptoms were relatively easily controlled with a topical steroid and no arthritis associated with SAPHO syndrome was apparent during all courses. Case 2 is that of a 34-year-old Japanese woman who presented with pustules on her palms and soles ( fig. 1 E). She noticed persistent palmar pustules and ...

BACKGROUND Women treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs may develop enteric neuropathy and dysmotility. Administration of a GnRH analog to rats leads to similar degenerative neuropathy and ganglioneuritis. The aim of this study on rat was to evaluate the early GnRH-induced enteric neuropathy in terms of distribution of neuronal subpopulations and gastrointestinal (GI) functi...

A few patients have been shown to develop severe abdominal pain and gastrointestinal dysmotility during treatment with gonadotropin‑releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs. A rat model of enteric neuropathy has been developed by administration of the GnRH analog buserelin to rats. Loss of enteric neurons and ganglioneuritis throughout the gastrointestinal tract has been described, without other histop...

To investigate the postreceptor mechanism, especially the role of protein kinase C (C-kinase), in luteinizing hormone (LH) release from anterior pituitary cells, dispersed rat anterior pituitary cells were stimulated with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH), [D-Ser(tBu)]6 des-Gly-NH2(10) ethylamide (Buserelin), 12-0-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and trifluoperazine (TFP) and ...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether hyperinsulinism affects cytochrome P450c17 alpha activity by investigating the correlation between 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) hyper-responsiveness to the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist, buserelin, and the insulin response to oral glucose in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). DESIGN Ultrasound, clinical and hormonal parameters were used to defi...

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) has neuromodulatory roles in central and peripheral nervous systems. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of GnRH analog (buserelin) on peripheral nerve regeneration. Forty adult male rats were divided into buserelin-treated, normal saline, sham surgery, and castrated + buserelin groups. The left sciatic nerve was crushed by a fine forceps an...

BACKGROUND Prior reports suggest a link between gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and gastrointestinal function. The aim of the study was to prospectively investigate women subjected to in vitro fertilization (IVF) using the GnRH analog buserelin, taking into account gastrointestinal symptoms and antibody development against buserelin, GnRH, luteinizing hormone (LH), and their receptors. ...
