Gonadal Signaling Inhibition

Meaning

Gonadal Signaling Inhibition is the physiological or pharmacological process of reducing or blocking the communication pathways that regulate the function of the testes or ovaries. This inhibition can occur naturally, such as during periods of severe stress or malnutrition, or be induced therapeutically to manage hormone-sensitive conditions or preserve reproductive function. The primary goal is to decrease the synthesis and secretion of gonadal steroid hormones.
