NCIt definition : A synthetic luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) identical to or similar to
the endogenous hormone. Synthesized in and secreted by the hypothalamus, gonadorelin
binds to transmembrane LHRH receptors on pituitary gonadotrophic cells, thereby stimulating
synthesis and secretion of gonadotropins. Continuous administration of gonadorelin
desensitizes the gonadotrophic cells, a negative feedback effect. This agent can be
used in treatment of hypothalamic amenorrhea and evaluation of hypothalamic/pituitary
function.;
