Lecirelin 

Lecirelin, a synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue, acts as a GnRH agonist. Lecirelin is widely used for the research of bovine ovarian follicular cysts^[1].

Lecirelin (2.07 μM) significantly increases the tension and frequency of contractions in preovulatory follicles (PF), small follicular cysts (FC-S), and large follicular cysts (FC-L)^[1].
Lecirelin increases the strips from preovulatory follicles contract significantly more than strips from cysts^[1].
