摘要
Both agonists and antagonists of luteinizing-hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) are in clinical use for a wide range of cancers, benign prostatic hypertrophy, fibroids and reproductive disorders. This article describes the existing applications, those under investigation, and potential applications for this type of drug to target diseases such as Alzheimer's.
