Degarelix
Degarelix is a competitive GnRH receptor antagonist. It binds reversibly and immediately to the pituitary GnRH receptors and blocks their activation. This rapidly suppresses the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which in turn lowers testosterone production in the testes. Unlike GnRH agonists (e.g., leuprorelin), which first cause a transient stimulation with a testosterone surge (flare), this direct antagonism lacks the initial stimulation phase, so testosterone declines without a preceding rise. This mechanism underlies the literature-described use in hormone-dependent prostate cancer.
Gonadorelin
Gonadorelin acts as an agonist at the GnRH receptor on the gonadotroph cells of the pituitary and triggers release of the gonadotropins luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). The temporal pattern of receptor exposure is decisive: pulsatile administration mimics the natural hypothalamic secretory rhythm and sustains LH/FSH release, whereas continuous exposure leads to receptor internalisation and desensitisation with subsequent paradoxical suppression of gonadotropins. The latter principle is exploited therapeutically by longer-acting GnRH agonists.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Degarelix and Gonadorelin?
- Degarelix is classified as "Исследования (прочее)", while Gonadorelin is classified as "Исследования (прочее)". Degarelix: Degarelix (trade name Firmagon) is a synthetic decapeptide and a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist. Unlike GnRH agonists, it blocks the receptor directly and does not trigger an initial testosterone surge (flare). It is an approved prescription medicine for the treatment of advanced, hormone-dependent prostate cancer. This page neutrally summarizes the evidence base and legal status and is not a usage or dosing recommendation. Gonadorelin: Gonadorelin is the synthetic decapeptide with an amino-acid sequence identical to endogenous gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH/LHRH). Historically approved in several countries for diagnostic testing of pituitary function and for fertility indications (pump systems). A defining feature is the opposite effect of pulsatile versus continuous administration: pulsatile stimulates, continuous leads to receptor desensitisation. This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Degarelix or Gonadorelin?
- The highest available evidence level is "РКИ на людях" for Degarelix and "Исследование на людях" for Gonadorelin. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
- What is the legal status of Degarelix and Gonadorelin in Germany and the United States?
- Германия: Degarelix — Рецептурный, Gonadorelin — Рецептурный. США: Degarelix — Рецептурный, Gonadorelin — Рецептурный. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
