Product Description: RS-18286 is a potent LHRH antagonist studied for its effects on pituitary hormone secretion in sexually active rams. Injection of RS-18286 resulted in an immediate suppression of pulsatile LH secretion, accompanied by a decrease in testosterone levels, while FSH and PRL levels remained unchanged. The duration of LH suppression was dose-related, lasting approximately 4.3 to 31.8 hours for low to high doses, respectively. During the recovery phase, a compensatory increase in LH pulse frequency was observed, suggesting a response to diminished testosterone feedback. Even at the lowest dose, RS-18286 transiently reduced testosterone levels, demonstrating an effect on acute hypothalamic sensitivity to changes in hormonal feedback[1].
