HCG

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone that has been widely studied for its role in the reproductive system. In research contexts, HCG is often utilized to investigate its effects on the stimulation of gonadal steroidogenesis and the regulation of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) activity. Researchers have focused on HCG’s ability to mimic LH, thereby influencing the function of the corpus luteum and promoting the production of progesterone. HCG is also used in studies exploring its impact on cellular differentiation and growth within reproductive tissues. Its unique properties make HCG a valuable tool for advancing our understanding of reproductive biology and endocrinology.
