An artificially synthesised substance X when injected into an adult male suffering from failure in the normal functioning of testes, caused an initial stimulation of pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion. Substance X is most likely to be an analogue of
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the hormone that is released from the cells of the hypothalamus that stimulates the pituitary gland to produce the gonadotropins - Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH). Chronic administration of the GnRH analogues can result in an initial stimulation of pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion, which may later decrease.
