Leuprolide disrupts the HPG axis by inhibiting gonadotropin secretion, leading to decreased sex hormone production and affecting fertility and reproductive systems.
Leuprolide disrupts the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis by inhibiting gonadotropin secretion. This reduction decreases sex hormone levels, impacting fertility and secondary sexual characteristics.
