They have no direct effect on the endocrine system, and only act on peripheral tissues

They directly bind to and inhibit the ovaries, reducing estrogen production

They directly inhibit the pituitary gland to reduce LH production

To stimulate the pituitary gland to produce more FSH, which then increases testosterone levels

To cause an initial increase in estrogen production, followed by a sustained reduction in estrogen levels (correct)

To directly inhibit estrogen production and lower estrogen levels

LHRH agonists have no clinical applications and are not used to treat any conditions

Estrogen flare (correct)

Estrogen elevation
