Prognostic factors in seminomas with special respect to HCG: Results of a prospective multicenter study [PDF]
Objective: In a prospective multicenter trial, it was our intention to elucidate clinical prognostic factors of seminomas with special reference to the importance of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) elevations in histologically pure seminomas. Methods:

Intrarectal administration of hCG (Human Choriogonadotropin) and fat loss as assessed by Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in experimental animals. [PDF]
Our studies suggest that in experimental animals, submitted to a hypocaloric diet, the intrarectal administration of hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) decreases body fat and increases lean mass content in relative values to a greater extent that control

Hyperprolactinemia induced by hCG leads to metabolic disturbances in female mice [PDF]
The metabolic syndrome is a growing epidemic; it increases the risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver, and several cancers. Several reports have indicated a link between hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance or obesity.
