Long-term treatment with LHRH agonists effectively suppresses the pituitary-gonadal axis and may be more successful in combating premature skeletal maturation and in allowing an increased final adult height (Mansfieldet al.,1983;Rogeret al.,1986). In order to prevent a surge of gonadotrophins ...
Histrelin is a potent inhibitor of gonadotropin secretion when administered long-term. The implant provides continuous SC release of histrelin at a nominal rate of 50-65 mcg/d over 12 months and is safe and effective for CPP. One study found that the implant remains effective in suppressing ...
Eels have a complex migratory life cycle with the occurrence of two metamorphoses (for reviews see: Sinha and Jones 1975; Tesch 1977; Haro 2003). They represent a typical larval (first) metamorphosis, the leptocephalus larva being transformed into the gl
