Lack of release of human chorionic gonadotropin by gonadotropin-releasing hormone.

چکیده
The effects of either single injection or continuous infusion of synthetic Gn-RH on plasma hCG levels were studied in 5 pregnant women (14-38 week gestation). No definite increase of hCG level was seen in all the cases studied. In view of large dosages of Gn-RH used in this study in comparison with its minimum effective dose for the pituitary gonadotropin release, Gn-RH seems unlikely to play a role in hCG secretion during human pregnancy.

Effect of human chorionic gonadotropin on sexual maturation, sex steroids and thyroid hormone levels in Caspian lamprey (Caspiomyzon wagneri Kessler, 1870).
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) on sexual maturation, plasma sex steroids (17β-estradiol, E2 and 17α-hydroxy progesterone (17α OHP)) and thyroid hormones (triiodothyronine, T3 and thyroxin, T4) levels in upstream - migrating Caspian lamprey. During the experiment, 36 fish (24 females and 12 males) in spring 2013 and 36 fish (24 fema...

Background: Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a member of glycoprotein hormones family consist of two different non-covalently heterodimeric chains: alpha and beta subunits with 92 and 145 amino acids respectively. This hormone plays an important role in human reproduction and physiology especially for maintenance of the corpus luteum during the first months of pregnancy Materials and Metho...
متن کاملInhibin and activin modulate the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin, and progesterone from cultured human placental cells.
Although it is clear that human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and progesterone play fundamental roles in pregnancy, the regulation of placental production of these hormones remains to be defined. Recent evidence suggests that the human placenta expresses proteins related to inhibin (alpha beta subunits) or activin (beta beta subunits). Inhibin and activin (follicle-stimulating hormone-releasing ...
متن کاملEFFECT OF β-HUMAN CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN (β-HCG) ON NEUTROPHIL FUNCTIONS
Many findings point to the presence of a close relationship between the immune, endocrine and neurologic systems. For example the suppressive effects of β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) on IL-l production, the potentiative effect of enkephalins on lymphocyte functions and the suppressive effect of leuteinizing hormone (LH) on natural killer (NK) cell activities have been clearly esta...
متن کاملHCG: Is it the Best Choice for Ovulation Triggering?
With the increasing use of gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist protocols, it has become an option to trigger ovulation with gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist which has several advantages over human chorionic gonadotropin triggering; among those an elimination or reduction in ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, and a reduction in luteal phase discomfort. Thus, this paper questions the ...
