Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists, also known as GnRH (Gonadotropin-releasing hormone) agonists, are synthetic analogs of the naturally occurring hormone GnRH. These compounds play a critical role in regulating the release of LH (luteinizing hormone) and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) from the anterior pituitary gland. They are used in various therapeutic applications, particularly in the treatment of hormone-sensitive cancers like prostate and breast cancer.
