GONADORELIN 2MG
Gonadorelin is a natural hormone that is released by the hypothalamus in the brain [1]. Also referred to as Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone (GnRH) and HRF, Factrel, Relefact, Lutrepulse, Lutrelef, Kryptocur among other brand names.
It has been used in research for fertility medicine to treat some hormonal disorders such as infertility and hypogonadism [2]. Gonadorelin is a diagnostic agent used to diagnose the functionality of both the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland [1,2,3].
Gonadorelin is produced by the hypothalamus and regulates the release of the two sex hormones LH and FSH [1,2,3,4]. Gonadorelin is used to check if the pituitary gland is producing the correct levels of Luteinising Hormone (LH) and Follicle-stimulating Hormone.
It diagnosis several hormonal disorders such as delayed puberty and infertility. LH stimulates the ovaries in women hence causing ovulation while in men it is responsible for the production of testosterone by stimulating the testicles. FSH plays an important role in sperm production as it stimulates the testicles. In women, FSH stimulates the release of estrogen and egg-development in the ovaries [1,2,3,4]. Gonadorelin functions by stimulating the pituitary gland to release these two sex hormones.
