Description

Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone is an Decapeptide Hormone manufactured (and released in a pulsatile fashion) by (the Arcuate Nucleus of) the Hypothalamus and sent to the Pituitary Gland.

 

LHRH Enhances the Function of these Substances

Hormones

 LHRH stimulates the release of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) from the Pituitary gland.  [1]

 LHRH stimulates the release of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) from the Pituitary gland.  [2]

 

These Substances may Enhance the Production of LHRH

Amino Acids

 Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) may prevent the depletion of LHRH caused by exposure to excessive Stress.  [3]

 Glutamic Acid may stimulate the endogenous production of LHRH (via NMDA). 

 

Lipids

 Leukotriene C4 stimulates the production and release of LHRH.
