What are the impacts of Leuprolide therapy on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, and how does it alter the feedback mechanisms governing reproductive and endocrine systems?
Leuprolide therapy suppresses the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis by initially increasing, then drastically reducing, gonadotropin levels, disrupting sex hormone production and altering reproductive functions.
