GnRH analogs are synthetic compounds used to manage and treat reproductive functions in animals. These substances are often used to induce ovulation, treat infertility, or control estrous cycles in livestock.

Essential insights

• Stimulation of LH and FSH secretion: GnRH analogs bind to receptors in the pituitary gland, stimulating the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), leading to follicular maturation and ovulation.
• Regulation of reproductive cycles: GnRH analogs are used to synchronize estrous cycles in cattle and other livestock, improving reproductive efficiency.
• Supra-physiological inhibition: At high doses, GnRH analogs can desensitize the pituitary, reducing gonadotropin production, and are used to treat hormone-related disorders like ovarian cyst syndrome.
