Interaction of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) and Asialo-hCG with Recombinant Human Thyrotropin Receptor. [PDF]
, 1994 hCG is a putative thyroid stimulator. The present studies were undertaken to examine its interaction and that of its desialylated variant asialo-hCG with recombinant human TSH (hTSH) receptor (hTSHr). To this end, we transfected a human thyroid carcinoma

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in a 13-Year-Old Boy
The Annals of African Surgery, 2023 Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is most common in men 40 years and above. It rarely occurs in childhood. As a result of the scarcity of cases, the pathogenesis is not clear, and treatment of BPH in this age group is challenging. This report focuses on

Human amniotic fluid glycoproteins expressing sialyl Lewis carbohydrate antigens stimulate progesterone production in human trophoblasts in vitro [PDF]
, 2004 Background: Progesterone is thought to mediate immune modulator effects by regulating uterine responsiveness. The aim of the study was to clarify the effect of transferrin and glycodelin A (former name PP14) as sialyl Lewis X-expressing glycoproteins on ...

A Comparative study between the effect of oxytocin and human chorionic gonadotropin on induction of ovulation [PDF]
Al-Azhar International Medical Journal, 2022 Background: Ovulation induction and acceleration of endometrial maturation are important factors in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Using synthetic drugs for superovulation could result in hyperstimulation syndrome, production of atretic ...

Prognostic factors in seminomas with special respect to HCG: Results of a prospective multicenter study [PDF]
, 1999 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:

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1973 Publisher Summary This chapter discusses human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), the placental glycoprotein hormone. This hormone, produced by the cytotrophoblast, is comparable in biological action to pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH) or interstitial cell stimulating hormone (ICSH).

Immunoreactive human chorionic gonadotropin and its free ß-subunit in serum and ascites of patients with malignant tumors [PDF]
, 1992 Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a clinically relevant marker of trophoblastic and nontrophoblastic malignancies. In the present studies, in addition to determining serum hCG, we investigated the presence and properties of hCG immunoreactivity in ...

Variation in the Thyrotropic Activity of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells Arises from Differential Expression of the Human Thyrotropin Receptor and Microheterogeneity of the Hormone. [PDF]
, 1995 The role of hCG as a stimulator of the human thyroid has been a subject of controversy, because discrepant results have been obtained in different in vitro assays.
