Abstract
Summary. The effect of the LHRH analogue D‐Ser (TBU)6‐EA10‐LRH (Hoe 766) on the response of plasma gonadotrophins and the frequency of climacteric flushing was studied in five postmenopausal women. Following an initial stimulatory effect on gonadotrophin secretion plasma gondotrophins returned to near baseline concentrations with loss of their pattern of pulsatile release and of their sensitivity to exogenous LHRH. The frequency of flushing was unaltered during the treatment period.Keywords
