the test is scheduled for two days later in order to see if hCG levels double, as expected. Therefore, it’s more important to focus on whether or not the hCG level is rising – and how much it’s rising – than the actual value. ...
A positive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level usually means that you are pregnant.Pregnancytests detect the hCG hormone in the blood and urine. The beta hCG levels are also measured using a test known as quantitative hCG testing. This test measures the quantity of hCG in your urine...
We have compared the performance of these analytes against nuchal translucency measurement combined with maternal serum free beta hCG at the same period of pregnancy. Our results show that levels of urine free beta hCG and beta core are increased in Down's syndrome with average multiple of ...
Beta Chain refers to the 111 amino acid chain that is part of the structure of certain proteins, such as LH, hCG, and TSH, and is also present in the two forms of rhFSH, follitropin alpha, and follitropin beta. It confers biological activity and is noncovalently linked to other chains...
by sonographic visualization of the ovaries and endometrial lining and/or measuring serum estradiol levels. The combination of both ultrasonography and measurement of estradiol levels is useful for monitoring the growth and development of follicles, timing hCG administration, as well as minimizing the ...
Pregnant women with preeclampsia had significantly higher levels of serum complete hCG, nicked hCG, nonnicked hCG, and complete free beta hCG than normotensive controls (Table 1 and Fig. 1, Fig. 2). However, there was no significant difference in the median (range) percentage of serum nicked...
In males suffering from azoospermia or asthenospermia and asking for fertility treatment, spermatogenesis may be induced by combination therapy with hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) and hMG (human menopausal gonadotrophin) intramuscularly or subcutaneously. Moreover, the recent advent of micromanipulation...

Each woman under active surveillance was visited once every 5 weeks by the FD assigned to their sector. Women were asked about their menses in the past 30 days; if amenstrual, they were offered a urine-based hCG pregnancy test (Orchid Biomedical Systems, Goa, India). The 5-week interval ...
For germ-free rederivation, 4–6 week-old APPPS1 transgenic female mice were superovulated by intraperitoneal injection of 5 IU pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG, VWR) on day 0, and 5 IU of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on day 2. Females were paired with APPPS1 males on da...
