TRIPTORELIN (gnrh) 100MCG

Triptorelin, also known as GnRH, is a synthetic peptide analog of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone, specifically the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH). With a molecular weight of 1310.64 g/mol, triptorelin consists of 10 amino acids. This peptide acts as an agonist, binding to gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors in the pituitary gland and stimulating the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).

The primary use of triptorelin is to initiate an initial release of LH and FSH, which subsequently leads to downregulation of the receptors. Over time, this downregulation reduces the production of LH and FSH, resulting in the inhibition of androgen and estrogen production. As a result, triptorelin is predominantly employed in clinical settings as a first-line androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer treatment.

Triptorelin has also been investigated for its role in estrogen therapy for the treatment of breast cancer. Studies indicate that combining the peptide with tamoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, improves prognosis in women with breast cancer.

Moreover, triptorelin has been studied for its potential in managing endometriosis. By reducing nodule volume and alleviating pain, triptorelin shows promise in improving outcomes following surgery for endometriosis.

Additionally, triptorelin may serve as a modulator of immune system function. LHRH directly influences the thymus, which is responsible for T cell production. Aging contributes to a decline in thymic mass and a decrease in LHRH receptors on thymic tissues. In a rat research model, the administration of LHRH agonists like triptorelin stimulated cellular proliferation in the thymus. Researchers speculate that this could aid in the recovery of lost mass and enhance immune system function, particularly in older individuals.

The GnRH (triptorelin) offered is a white lyophilized powder available in 100 mcg/vial concentration. It is intended solely for in vitro scientific research purposes.
