Reversible effects of long-term treatment with D-Trp6-LH-RH-microcapsules on pituitary-gonadal axis, spermatogenesis and prostate morphology in adolescent and adult dogs.

The effect of long term treatment with D-Trp6-LH-RH in microcapsules (GnRH-A) on pituitary gonadal axis was studied in a adolescent and adult Fox-terrier dogs. They received intramuscularly 50 micrograms/GnRH-A/kg, on day 1 and 21 and every 4 weeks thereafter. Three adult dogs received 4 injections.
