Deslorelin is a synthetic hormone used to treat reproductive and hormonal disorders in animals. It is commonly administered as an implant to regulate fertility and hormone production in various species.

Essential insights

• GnRH Agonist: Deslorelin acts as a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH agonist), initially stimulating the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Prolonged stimulation leads to desensitization and suppression of hormone production.
• Fertility Control: This mechanism results in temporary sterility or suppression of hormone-related conditions such as hypersexuality and certain tumors.
• Selective Toxicity:
  Deslorelin specifically targets reproductive hormones, with minimal systemic toxicity when properly administered.
