Treatment with D-Trp6-LHRH produced down-regulation of membrane receptors for LHRH in Dunning tumors.
2 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
Membrane receptors for LHRH were evaluated in Dunning R3327 prostate cancers and rat anterior pituitaries.
The receptors were characterized both in untreated animals and after in vivo treatment with microcapsules of the agonist D-Trp6-LHRH and a sustained delivery system releasing different doses (23.8, 47.6, 71.4 micrograms/day) of LHRH antagonist [Ac-D-Nal(2)1-D-Phe(4Cl)2-D-Pal(3)3,D-Cit6, D-Ala10]-LHRH (SB-75).
