Re: Degarelix: Improved LHRH agonist?

[Guest guest]

Correction:

Degarelix is an antagonist, not an agonist.

Here are definitions from the Merriam Webster Medical Dictionary:

Agonist: a chemical substance (as a drug) capable of combining with a

receptor on a cell and initiating the same reaction or activity

typically produced by the binding of an endogenous substance.

Antagonist: a chemical that acts within the body to reduce the

physiological activity of another chemical substance.
