Abstrakt

Luliberin – luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) is the first link in hypothalamus-pituitary-gonads axis which participates in reproduction. This hormone and lutropin are released from immunological cells, however antagonists of LHRH inhibit this action. Some cytokines (IL-1b, GM-CSF) inhibit release of LHRH and other (IL-6, INF-g) stimulate this release.
