Human luteinizing hormone (hLH) and chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) act on the same receptor (LHCGR) but it is not known whether they elicit the same cellular and molecular response. This study compares for the first time the activation of cell-signalling pathways and gene expression in response to...

However, these results could not be confirmed statistically. Nonetheless, this study is suggestive that the antibodies generated by this vaccine were capable of intercepting the effect of exogenous hCG in the human female. Further studies with more subjects and higher dosage of hCG are called for....
RESULTS: MSHCG levels were significantly higher (18.5%) in week 3 post-fertilization in the presence of a female fetus (P < 0.0002). CONCLUSION: Because a fetal gender-related difference in MSHCG can be demonstrated as early as week 3 post-fertilization, the difference may be attributed to...
were measured every two weeks from the 5th week of pregnancy to the 11th week;other 35 women with single fetus in the same period were taken as controls.Results:The serum level of β-HCG was significantly higher in multiple pregnancies group than in single pregnancy group during the 5-9th ...
Taken together, these observations are consistent with previous studies that chronic treatment with insulin alone induces hyperinsulinemia22,23,24 and that combined treatment with insulin and hCG results in the onset of peripheral insulin resistance combined with hyperandrogenism in rodents in vivo28,29...
Considering that in HH patients we achieved good results in pubertal development, using hCG treatment (1500, IU every 6 days), 8 HH thalassemic patients (14 5/12-17 yrs;all with bone age more than 13 6/12)were treated with the same regimen. In 4 out of these 8, purified FSH (75 ...
The results of western blot technique demonstrated that B-galactosidase-hCG contains immunological property of hCG B-subunit C-terminal. Preliminary studies of antigenicitY of this B-galactosidase-hCG through counter current immunoelectrophoresis and double immunodiffusion techniques have clearly demonstrated ...
“birth-control” vaccine. Conjugating TT with hCG causes pregnancy hormones to be attacked by the immune system. Expected results are abortions in females already pregnant and/or infertility in recipients not yet impregnated. Repeated inoculations prolong infertility. Currently WHO researchers are ...
RESULTS: Treatment with hCG tended to improve the odds of pregnancy (p=0.06), produced a 3-fold increase in the odds of twins (p<0.001), and increased the odds of a mare having a single serve in the treated ovulatory cycle (p=0.036). The first ovulatory cycle of a season in which ...
