GnRH Analogues

Meaning

GnRH Analogues are synthetic compounds designed to mimic or antagonize the action of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH), the hypothalamic peptide that regulates the pituitary-gonadal axis. These pharmacological agents are utilized in clinical endocrinology to either stimulate or suppress the production of sex hormones, depending on the dosing regimen. They are essential therapeutic tools for managing hormone-sensitive conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, prostate cancer, and precocious puberty.
