How does leuprolide influence androgen levels in patients undergoing hormone therapy, and what are the potential implications for fertility and reproductive health?
Leuprolide reduces androgen by inhibiting gonadotropin release, potentially causing reversible infertility and impacting reproductive health.
Leuprolide, a GnRH agonist, reduces androgen production by inhibiting LH and FSH secretion, potentially leading to temporary infertility.
