The dependency of folliculogenesis and corpus luteum function on pulsatile gonadotropin secretion in cycling women using a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist as a probe.

TL;DR: It is inferred that the functional integrity of ovarian cyclicity is remarkably sensitive to brief (3 days) and partial reduction in pulsatile gonadotropin secretion, which disrupts folliculogenic processes and induces the demise of the corpus luteum.

Gonadotropin responses to synthetic LRF: dose-response relationship in men.

TL;DR: Though both serum LH and FSH concentrations increased with dose, the responses in FSH were much smaller and occurred later than those of LH, demonstrating the importance of serial studies in the same individuals.

Inhibition of the sleep-related peak in physiologic human growth hormone release by somatostatin.
TL;DR: The synthetic linear tetradecapeptide, somatostatin (125-250 μg bolus followed by constant infusion of 9-10 μg/min) was given over the first 90 min of sleep on 2 nights to each of 4 normal young men and on one night to an acromegalic patient as discussed by the authors.

The dynamics of gonadotropin inhibition in women induced by an antagonistic analog of gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
TL;DR: The dynamics of the antagonistic effect demonstrated by this analog provide an important reference for future investigations of endogenous GnRH control of gonadotropin secretion as well as for exploring contraceptive potential.
