A single injection of LHRH to the adult male rat, as of its analog [D-Ala6, des-Gly-NH102] LHRH ethylamide, resulted in a marked decrease in LH receptors in the tests. Plasma testosterone level and the weight of the seminal vesicles and prostate were also decreased after treatment. These data demonstrate that LHRH can decrease the sensitivity of LH receptors and testicular function in the rat.
