Gonadorelin is a synthetic decapeptide identical to the naturally occurring gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). It stimulates the release of the gonadotropins luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary. It is used diagnostically to evaluate pituitary function and rarely therapeutically. It is an approved drug for diagnostic use.
Pharmacokinetic data reported for healthy adult males after intravenous bolus administration.
