Gonadorelin Stimulation Protocols

Meaning

Structured clinical regimens designed to transiently stimulate the pituitary gland using exogenous Gonadorelin GnRH or its analogs to assess or boost the capacity of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal HPG axis. These protocols are essential for diagnosing the site of hypogonadism, whether hypothalamic or pituitary in origin. Precise timing and dosing are necessary to elicit a maximal release of LH and FSH. They serve as a diagnostic probe of the central hormonal axis.
