How does leuprolide impact appetite regulation and weight changes, and what mechanisms contribute to its effects on metabolic rate and body composition?
Leuprolide can cause weight gain by disrupting hormone balance, particularly by reducing testosterone and estrogen, which can alter metabolism and increase fat deposition.
Leuprolide, a GnRH agonist, may increase appetite and cause weight gain by influencing gonadal hormone levels, which can impact metabolic rate and fat distribution.
