1.	Neoplasms (Cancer) 03/01/1993 - "Recent evidence suggests that LHRH or a LHRH-like peptide might be produced by human prostatic tumor cells. " 09/01/1994 - "The present study was undertaken to determine whether these endometrial tumor cells also produce LHRH or an LHRH-like peptide which could serve as natural ligand for the LHRH binding sites. " 03/01/1993 - "These data clearly suggest that the LHRH mRNA expressed in LNCaP cells is possibly translated into LHRH or a LHRH-like peptide which probably functions as a local growth inhibitory factor on prostatic tumor cell proliferation, by acting on LHRH receptors."
2.	Ganglion Cysts (Ganglion) 06/01/1982 - "a LHRH-like peptide is contained in preganglionic nerve terminals and is released upon nerve stimulation, (2) application of LHRH to ganglion cells mimics the effects of the natural transmitter for the late slow e.p.s.p., and (3) the pharmacological properties of LHRH and the natural transmitter for the late slow e.p.s.p. " 02/01/1984 - "Eskay (1982) Peptides 3:323-327) the endogenous LHRH-like peptide in the ganglion may be identical to teleost LHRH (T-LHRH; [Trp7,Leu8]M-LHRH) (Sherwood, N., L. " 08/01/1986 - "Oxytocin, vasopressin, melanostatin, bradykinin, LHRH-like peptide in different ways affected the spontaneous outflow and release of adrenaline and noradrenaline induced with central and peripheral nervous stimuli as well as with acetylcholine in the superfusate of the dog isolated inferior mesenteric ganglion."
3.	Prostatic Neoplasms (Prostate Cancer) 09/01/1993 - "However, recent reports have demonstrated that LHRH agonist had a direct inhibiting effect on prostate cancer cell proliferation and that cancerous prostate tissue contained a LHRH-like peptide. " 03/01/1993 - "These observations clearly demonstrate that a mRNA for LHRH is expressed in human prostatic cancer cells, and suggest that LHRH or a LHRH-like peptide may be produced by these cells.
