OBJECTIVES: Gonadoliberin (GnRH) analogs may be expected to indirectly modify growth hormone (GH) total concentration and its 24-h secretion profile. As a consequence, changes in the levels of GH may modify the mechanism of sex-dependent cytochromes P450 (CYP450) synthesis, including the expression of transcriptional factors. The aim of the study has been to evaluate the effect of long-term administration of a low dose of GnRH analogs on hepatic expression of CYP2C and CYP3A isoforms, and the transcription factors: pregnane X receptor (PXR), hepatocyte nuclear factor 4α (HNF4α), HNF6 and signal transducers and activators of transcription 5b (STAT5b).
2.GnRH Agonist Triggering Modulates PEDF to VEGF Ratio Inversely to hCG in Granulosa Cells.

CONTEXT: GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) triggering is associated with a reduced risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) compared with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in assisted reproduction technology cycles. We have shown that ovarian pigment epithelium derived factor (PEDF), a potent antiangiogenic factor, counteracts vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and that OHSS is correlated with hCG-induced impaired PEDF to VEGF ratio.
3.Triptorelin and cetrorelix induce immune responses and affect uterine development and expressions of genes and proteins of ESR1, LHR, and FSHR of mice.

CONTEXT: GnRH immunity can reduce the expression of pituitary GnRH levels, and cause the changes in reproductive behaviors. It is unclear whether triptorelin (TRI) and cetrorelix (CET) immunity influences uterine development and expression of follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR), and estradiol receptor 1 (ERS1) in the uterus.
