Injectable gold compounds have antiinflammatory, antirheumatic, immunomodulating, and antimicrobial ( _in vitro_ ) effects. The exact mechanisms for these actions are not well understood. Gold is taken up by macrophages where it inhibits phagocytosis and may inhibit lysosomal enzyme activity. Gold also inhibits the release of histamine, and production of prostaglandins. While gold does have antimicrobial effects _in vitro_, it is not clinically useful for this purpose.
Gonadorelin is indicated (approved) for the treatment of ovarian follicular cysts in dairy cattle. Additionally, gonadorelin has been used in cattle to reduce the time interval from calving to first ovulation and to increase the number of ovulations within the first 3 months after calving. This may be particularly important in increasing fertility in cows with retained placenta. In dogs, gonadorelin has been used experimentally to help diagnose reproductive disorders or to identify intact animals versus castrated ones by maximally stimulating FSH and LH production. It has also been used experimentally in dogs to induce estrus through pulsatile dosing. While apparently effective, specialized administration equipment is required for this method. Gonadorelin has been used in cats as an alternate therapy to FSH or hCG to induce estrus in cats with prolonged anestrus. In Europe, a synthetic analogue buserelin has been used in horses to stimulate cyclic estrus. Its efficacy rates poorly when compared to an artificial light program, however. In human medicine, gonadorelin has been used for the diagnosis of hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, cryptorchidism, and depression secondary to prolonged severe stress.
