Amino Acid Sequence

Glp-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-Ala-Leu-Arg-Pro-NHEt

Application

[des-Gly10, D-Ala6]-LH-RH ethylamide acetate salt hydrate has been used:
  • as an luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist to synchronize a cohort of females rats
  • to synchronize naturally cycling rats
  • to induce ovulation as a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue and as a supplement in Galap extender to dilute qualified ejaculate

Biochem/physiol Actions

Potent LH-RH agonist in rats and mice; reversibly delays sexual maturation in rats, stimulates spawning activity in fish. GnRH ( gonadotropin-releasing hormone, Glp-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-Gly-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-NH2), which is also referred as LHRH (luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone) or gonadorelin, is crucial for mammalian reproduction and is released from hypothalamic neurons. It is responsible for the secretion of gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), from the pituitary glands. Mutations in GnRH are associated with normosmic congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Packaging

Phenotypic plasticity can be an important adaptive response to climate change, particularly for dispersal-limited species. Temperature frequently alters developmental and phenotypic traits including morphology, behavior, and reproductive cycles. We often lack crucial information about if and how thermal conditions during

Asynchrony of gamete release is problematic in amphibian captive breeding programs but can be overcome by short-term storage of spermatozoa. Hormonally induced sperm from the model species Anaxyrus fowleri were used to determine storage conditions for optimal fertilisation capacity. Sperm
