Human chorionic gonadotropin and malignant mesothelioma

Cancer, 1979
A 56-year-old male presented with ascites and gynecomastia. Laparoscopy demonstrated peritoneal tumors which were biopsied. Conventional histology and electron microscopy revealed the tumor to be a malignant mesothelioma. The ascitic fluid and tumor cell lysate, but not serum, contained hCG by specific assay, and the immunoreactive hCG had ...

Biosynthesis of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin*

Endocrine Reviews, 1980
HUMAN chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone normally secreted by trophoblastic cells of the placenta during pregnancy. Trophoblastic tumors and some nontrophoblastic tumors also secrete hCG and/or its α- or β-subunit. This review emphasizes a number of aspects, some controversial, of hCG biosynthesis and secretion that have received ...

Carboxypeptidase Digestion of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

Endocrine Research Communications, 1977
Native human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) was resistant to carboxypeptidase digestion even in the presence of urea. Isolated alpha subunit of the hormone (hCG-alpha), though unreactive to enzyme treatment in the absence of denaturant, released up to four amino acid residues from the C-terminus on incubation with a mixture of carboxypeptidases A and B ...

Thyrotropic Action of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

Thyroid, 1995
Hyperthyroidism or increased thyroid function has been reported in many patients with trophoblastic tumors. In these cases, greatly increased human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels and suppressed TSH levels suggest that hCG has thyrotropic activity.

Purification and Characterization of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin [PDF]

open access: possibleEndocrinology, 1969
A purified preparation of human chorionic gonadotropin has been obtained by techniques of alcohol precipitation, ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. Evidence is presented that the product is homogeneous in size and amino acid composition, but heterogeneous in electrical charge and sialic acid content. The polypeptide portion of the molecule

Human chorionic gonadotropin tests

Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics, 2009
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is not a single biological molecule. There is the regular form of hCG produced by differentiated syncytotrophoblast cells (regular hCG). This hormone primarily functions to maintain the myometrial and decidual spiral arteries, or the vascular supply of the placenta during the full course of pregnancy ...

Is deglycosylated human chorionic gonadotropin an antagonist to human chorionic gonadotropin? Characterization of deglycosylated human chorionic gonadotropin action in two testicular interstitial cell fractions

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1990
In order to determine the significance of carbohydrate residues of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in receptor interaction and signal transduction leading to steroidogenesis, the effect of deglycosylated hCG (DG-hCG) was studied in vitro with two different hCG-responsive purified testicular interstitial cell fractions.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

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).

Human chorionic gonadotropin in the ectopic gestation

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1985
AbstractThe ectopic pregnancy is a relatively common condition in the south African black patients. The beta‐specific subunit radioimmunoassay for human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) was utilized in procuring information in our series of 30 patients. Levels of the hormone were significantly lower when compared to normal gestation of similar duration ...

An Improved Purification of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

Endocrinologia Japonica, 1973
A newly improved method for obtaining a highly active human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) has been developed. A crude HCG with an activity of about 3, 000 IU per mg was applied to an Amberlite CG-50 column equilibrated with 0.01 M ammonium acetate buffer, pH 5.0. This first purification procedure yielded two separate peaks. The pooled fraction under the
