Embryo implantation and GnRH antagonists: GnRH antagonists do not activate the GnRH receptor.

Human Reproduction, 2000
Recent suggestions that gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists activate the GnRH receptor are discussed. Most of the studies cited in support of this suggestion are in-vitro studies, testing supra-pharmacological doses of GnRH analogues in cancer cell lines, whereas GnRH antagonists, e.g.

Embryo implantation and GnRH antagonists: embryo implantation: the Rubicon for GnRH antagonists.

Human Reproduction, 2000
When gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) was discovered, the agonist and antagonist of GnRH were developed to control the release of FSH and LH by the gonadotrophs. More than 10 years of research were needed to develop a GnRH antagonist free of histamine release.

Embryo implantation and GnRH antagonists: ovarian actions of GnRH antagonists.

Human Reproduction, 2001
The gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists, cetrorelix and ganirelix, have both been approved for ovarian stimulation to prevent a premature LH surge. Since GnRH receptors and their gene expression have been detected in human ovary, concern has risen over whether GnRH antagonists might affect ovarian function.

GnRH Secretion into CSF in Rams Treated With a GnRH Antagonist

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 1997
The equilibrium of the brain‐pituitary‐testicular axis is controlled by negative feedback exerted primarily through changes in the circulating concentrations of gonadal steroids. This is usually studied in gonadectomised animals treated with single large doses or constant low levels of exogenous steroid.

GnRH-antagonists in reproductive medicine

Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 2005
Suppression of sex steroid production based on desensitisation and down-regulation of pituitary gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-receptors by agonistic GnRH-analogues resulting in the blockage of gonadotropin release from the anterior pituitary gland is a well-established approach in a variety of clinical conditions. Antagonistic analogues of GnRH

Clinical application of GnRH-antagonists

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2000
Due to the different pharmacological mode of action, GnRH-antagonists seem to open up new avenues to hormonal treatment in several indications. Although it may be still too early to speculate about the possible end of the era of GnRH-agonists, from what is known today, the advantages of GnRH-antagonists are most evident in our opinion.

GnRH agonists vs antagonists

Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2007
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists were introduced in ovarian stimulation for in-vitro fertilization to suppress the premature surge of luteinizing hormone (LH). Although agonist use is accompanied by a series of disadvantages, including hypoestrogenaemia, cyst formation, a requirement for a prolonged period of downregulation, and an ...

Safety of GnRH agonists and antagonists

Expert Opinion on Drug Safety, 2004
The widespread application of protocols using gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists or antagonists in assisted reproduction treatment has led to an increasing number of pregnancies exposed to these drugs. This issue has raised scepticism as to the safety of these medications, concerning both pregnant women and their offspring.
