Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and its agonistic analogs inhibited the follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)-induced increase of estrogen and progesterone production in vitro by rat ovarian granulosa cells. Likewise, GnRH analogs inhibited FSH-induced changes in ovarian function is hypophysectomized rats in vivo. GnRH, in addition to its well-known gonadotropin-releasing action in the pituitary, exerts a direct inhibition of ovarian steroidogenesis.
