    What are the short-term actions of Gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH)?

    <p>Short-term actions of GnRH include hastening impending cyclicity/oestrus, hastening ovulation by inducing LH surge, 'forcing' ovulation/luteinisation of cystic structures, and testing the hypothalamic-gonadal axis.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What are the long-term actions of GnRH (deslorelin implant)?

    <p>Long-term actions of GnRH (deslorelin implant) include initial stimulation and then down-regulation of GnRH receptor, thus suppressing the HPG axis. It is used to control behavior and fertility in male dogs and to control/suppress oestrus behavior. It is also used in humans in IVF protocols.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the clinical use of FSH hormone?

    <p>The clinical use of FSH hormone includes stimulating antral follicular growth, which allows for high selectivity and multiple dominant follicles. It is used as part of oestrus/ovulation induction regimes, often given in conjunction with progestogens.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the clinical use of LH hormone?

    <p>The clinical use of LH hormone includes stimulating the final maturation of follicles, luteinisation, and providing luteal support. It is used to induce ovulation when animals are in oestrus, hasten ovulation in AI regimes, force ovulation when there has been repeated failure of conception in cattle, and treat cystic ovaries in cows and heifers.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the main clinical use of exogenous progestogens?

    <p>The main clinical use of exogenous progestogens is to suppress the hypothalamic-gonadal axis, prevent oestrus in dogs and mares, treat and prevent pseudopregnancy in dogs, and treat male conditions like unwanted behavior/prostatic disease. They are also used as a method of inducing/synchronizing oestrus by administration and withdrawal of the product.</p> Signup and view all the answers
