Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

1976
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone that is synthesised by the syncytiotrophoblast cells of the placenta. The hormone is homologous in structure with human luteinising hormone (hLH) and shares with hLH similar qualitative biological actions on the ovary and the testis (Bishop, Nureddin and Ryan, 1976).

Equine Chorionic Gonadotropin

Endocrine Reviews, 1991
Cells from the chorionic girdle of the equine trophoblast invade the maternal endometrium at day 36 of gestation and become established as secretory elements known as the endometrial cups. These structures, which persist for 40-60 days, produce a gonadotropin which can be found in circulation until about day 130 of gestation. This glycoprotein has been

Stimulation of Thyroid Function by Human Chorionic Gonadotropin During Pregnancy: A Risk Factor for Thyroid Disease and a Mechanism for Known Risk Factors.

Thyroid, 2017
BACKGROUND Thyroid autoimmunity is a major risk factor for gestational thyroid disease, and recently various other risk factors have been identified, including maternal age, body mass index (BMI) and parity.

Chorionic gonadotropin receptors and immunoreactive chorionic gonadotropin in implantation of the rabbit blastocyst

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1984
To determine the temporal relationship between immunoreactive chorionic gonadotropin, chorionic gonadotropin receptors, and implantation of the rabbit blastocyst, (1) immunoreactive chorionic gonadotropin in plasma, uterine flushings and blastocysts; (2) chorionic gonadotropin receptors on blastocysts (day 5 and 6) and embryonic and interembryonic ...

Advances in human chorionic gonadotropin detection technologies: a review.

Bioanalysis, 2017
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein secreted by placental trophoblast cells in pregnancy. HCG is a heterodimer composed of two different α- and β-subunits, with the latter being unique to HCG.

Human chorionic gonadotropin in cancer

Clinical Biochemistry, 2004
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is mainly used for detection and monitoring of pregnancy and pregnancy-related disorders but it is also an extremely sensitive and specific marker for trophoblastic tumors of placental and germ cell origin. Thus treatment of relapsing choriocarcinomas and testicular germ cell tumors is often initiated on the basis of ...

The Prescription and Proscription of Chorionic Gonadotropin

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1991
To the Editor.— The Council Report, "Medical and Nonmedical Uses of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids," 1 concludes with recommendations for legislative and legal initiatives to control the prescription and distribution of anabolicandrogenic steroids. In addition to Alabama, California, and Florida, which are mentioned as having scheduled the drugs under ...

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

2021
HCG is a hormone unique to gestation, however, it may be raised in other pathological conditions as well. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a placental hormone secreted after implantation and is commonly detected by urine gravindex test. It interacts with the LHCG receptor of the ovary and maintains the corpus luteum during initial weeks of ...

Use of equine chorionic gonadotropin to control reproduction of the dairy cow: a review.

Reproduction in domestic animals = Zuchthygiene, 2014
Equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) is a member of the glycoprotein family of hormones along with LH, FSH and thyroid-stimulating hormone. In non-equid species, eCG shows high LH- and FSH-like activities and has a high affinity for both FSH and LH ...

Immunochemistry of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

1984
In states of gestational trophoblastic disease, knowledge of the immunochemistry of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is principally of value in relation to its use as a diagnostic tool and as a marker for the persistence of disease activity during chemotherapy (1, 2).
