    GlossaryGonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Antagonists

    medications that block hormone signals to reduce sex hormone production

    Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Antagonists (GnRH antagonists) are medications that block the action of GnRH, a hormone responsible for stimulating the release of other hormones like LH and FSH from the pituitary gland. By inhibiting this pathway, GnRH antagonists can reduce the production of sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen, making them useful in treatments for conditions like prostate cancer, endometriosis, and certain fertility issues.
