MECHANISM OF ACTION
Gonadorelin is a synthetic copy of a natural brain signal (GnRH, gonadotropin-releasing hormone) that your hypothalamus normally sends in regular pulses to the pituitary gland. Those pulses tell the pituitary to release LH and FSH, hormones that travel to the testes and tell them to produce testosterone and sperm. The critical point: it only works when given in pulses. If given continuously without breaks, the pituitary gets overwhelmed and actually shuts down, the opposite of what you want. When testosterone is supplied from outside the body, the brain stops sending GnRH signals (because it detects enough testosterone already), which can cause the testes to shrink and sperm production to stop. Pulsatile gonadorelin keeps the testes receiving their activation signal, preserving their function.
RESEARCH APPLICATIONS
- Pulsatile GnRH receptor pharmacology
- HPG axis signalling research
- Pituitary responsiveness modelling
- Endocrine feedback-loop studies
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS
Pulse timing determines response
1978A central finding in the literature: delivered in pulses the receptor responds, delivered continuously it downregulates. This makes it a standard tool for studying receptor desensitisation. Research observations only.
