How does Leuprolide impact adrenal gland function, including its effects on cortisol production, stress responses, and hormonal regulation?
Leuprolide suppresses adrenal androgen production by inhibiting pituitary gonadotropins, which may reduce cortisol levels and alter the body’s stress response.
Leuprolide, primarily used to manage hormone-responsive cancers, reduces sex hormone production but doesn’t directly affect adrenal function or cortisol levels.
