Receptor activation by triptorelin in the presence or absence of different concentrations of HMA or FD-1

Ca2+ -mediated luciferase activity in CHO cells that stably express the human gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor and NFAT-luciferase reporter gene. Values are means (± S.E.M.) of at least three separate assays performed in duplicate.
