Gonadorelin Pharmacokinetics

Meaning

The quantitative study of how the body handles the synthetic decapeptide Gonadorelin, which is structurally identical to the endogenous Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH), encompassing its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion over time. Understanding these precise pharmacokinetic parameters is essential for determining the optimal pulsatile dosing regimen required to stimulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis effectively for fertility and hormonal therapy. Deviations in kinetics can lead to receptor desensitization and treatment failure.
