Effect of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist on luteinizing hormone receptors and steroidogenesis in ovarian cells
Objective: To examine the effect of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a), leuprolide acetate (LA), on human chorionic gonadotropin/luteinizing hormone (LH) receptors content and progesterone (P) and estradiol (E2) production in cultured granulosa or luteal cells. Design: Prospective. Se...

Design: Prospective. Setting: Private Fertility Clinic and National Research Institute. Patients: Twenty patients undergoing in vitro fertilization or gamete intrafallopian transfer programs. Results: Human chorionic gonadotropin/LH receptors in human granulosa cells increased after 48 hours of culture, and LA inhibited such effect. Leuprolide acetate, 1 ng/mL, in the cultures produced an increase in P production. On the contrary, LA inhibited E2 production. Additionally, the in vivo effect of LA (2 μg/rat per 7 days) was studied in corpus luteum of superovulated rats. Luteal cells from LA- treated rats in culture produced lower P than the controls but showed an increase in aromatase activity. Luteal LH receptors declined after 48 hours of culture with LA. Conclusion: The high doses of gonadotropin necessary to induce ovarian hyperstimulation when GnRH-a is administered could be related with an inhibitory effect of these agonists on LH receptors and aromatase activity.
