Sex differences in the pituitary TGFβ1 system: the role of TGFβ1 in prolactinoma development [PDF]
, 2019 Prolactinomas are the most frequent functioning pituitary adenomas, and sex differences in tumor size, behavior and incidence have been described. These differences have been associated with earlier diagnosis in woman, as well as with serum estradiol ...

Coexpression of human chorionic gonadotropin beta subunit and its receptor in nontrophoblastic gynecological cancer [PDF]
International Journal of Gynecological Cancer, 2008 A considerable number of biochemical and physiologic studies evaluate the roles of gonadotropins in carcinogenesis. Latest reports show that human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and especially its beta subunit, are secreted by a variety of malignant tumors of different origin. However, the mechanism of hCG action and its role in tumor development is not

Anti-HIV effect of beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (βhCG) in vitro
Immunology Letters, 1995 Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)--a pregnancy-associated immunomodulating hormone--has been recently shown in vitro to suppress reverse transcriptase activity in chronically HIV-infected lymphocytes and monocytes and to block viral transmission resulting from cell-cell contact between virus-carrying lymphocytes and placental trophoblasts.

Recognition of the Beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin and sub-determinants by target tissue receptors [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1978 The beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin, purified immunochemically to eliminate undissociated human chorionic gonadotropin, induced testosterone production by mouse Leydig cells at concentrations 400-fold higher than human chorionic gonadotropin. Steroidogenesis was also stimulated by a synthetic fragment of the beta-subunit of human chorionic

Glycosylation Patterns of Proteins Studied by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Bioinformatic Tools [PDF]
, 2006 Due to their extensive structural heterogeneity, the elucidation of glycosylation patterns in glycoproteins such as the subunits of chorionic gonadotropin (CG), CG-alpha and CG-beta remains one of the most challenging problems in the proteomic analysis ...

Reduction of human chorionic gonadotropin beta subunit expression by modified U1 snRNA caused apoptosis in cervical cancer cells [PDF]
, 2008 BACKGROUND: Secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin, especially its beta subunit by malignant trophoblastic tumors and varieties of tumors of different origin is now well documented; however the role of hCG in tumorogenesis is still unknown ...
