Product Description
Mechanism of action
Buserelin is a synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist with prolonged receptor-stimulating activity. Initially, it causes a transient surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Continued exposure desensitises and downregulates pituitary GnRH receptors, leading to profound suppression of gonadal steroidogenesis. This flare then shutdown mechanism results in reduced oestrogen and testosterone levels.
Benefits and advantages
Used extensively in reproductive-endocrinology research, GnRH-receptor signalling studies, hormone-suppression modelling, prostate-cancer and endometriosis pathway research, and pituitary feedback-loop analysis. Also valuable in comparative analyses between peptide agonists and antagonists.
Side effects and risks
Risks include hot flushes, mood changes, decreased libido, bone-density reduction, headache and hypersensitivity reactions. Handle as a potent endocrine-active peptide with appropriate PPE.
Only GMP materials will be supplied, logistics all according to GDP.
