routinely, a bolus of 5.000-10.000 iu human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) is usedfor the final follicular maturation and ovulation as a standard method. hcg has thesame effect of luteinizing hormone (lh) with long half-life. it has the longlutheotrophic effect which increases the risk of ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome(ohss). recently, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (gnrh-a) trigger h...

the purification of biomolecules is a necessary step in many biochemical researches. in this regard, developments of convenient, specific and low cost methods of purification are of particular interest. given the human hemoglobin (hb) affinity toward some charged carbohydrates, interaction of this molecule with human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) which is a glycoprotein hormone containing sialic...

Intraperitoneal injection of human chorionic gonadotropin in the rat induces a dose-dependent frequency of ovarian hyperemia. The occurrence of such hyperemia can be inhibited by pre-injection (3 hours) of antisera from rabbits immunized with gonadotropin extracts. It is demonstrated that the retained capacity of gonadotropin to induce hyperemia following antisera injections is greater when the...

Summary Statements1.The particular follicle-stimulating hormone formulation used for ovarian stimulation does not affect the incidence of hyperstimulation syndrome. (I)2.Coasting may reduce severe (III)3.Coasting longer than 3 days reduces in vitro fertilization pregnancy rates. (II-2)4.The use either luteinizing or human chorionic gonadotropin final oocyte maturation influence (I)5.There is no...

BACKGROUND Human endometrium is a dynamic tissue during the menstrual cycle can be influenced by ovarian hormones. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the endometrium angiogenesis under the influence of human menopausal gonadotropin and human chorionic gonadotropin (HMG and HCG) that stimulate ovulation and progesterone. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, thirty adult female mice were...

A study was conducted to determine whether treatment with deslorelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog, produced anestrus in gilts and to test the ability of exogenous gonadotropin treatment with a combination of 400 IU equine chorionic gonadotropin and 200 IU human chorionic gonadotropin to induce estrus in GnRH analog-treated gilts. Twelve days after the third estrus, 11 gilts e...

Ectopic secretion of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin is considered a poor prognostic marker in epithelial tumors. However, very few cases have been reported in sarcomas. We present the case of a 26-year-old female who presented with a metastatic osteosarcoma. She underwent usual testing prior to starting treatment and was found to have elevated levels of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin. As ...

BACKGROUND Gonadotropin cell is the main responsible for the secretion of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), and immunocastration reduces the concentrations of serum FSH and LH. A few studies have reported the histological structure of gonadotropin cells obtained from immunocastration animals at the light microscopy level. However, the ultrastructure of gonadotropi...

background: based on classical two-cell, two-gonadotropin theory, in the follicle, follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh) and luteinizing hormone (lh) put on their main effects on the granulosa and theca cells. lh is essential for androgens production. androgens are used for estradiol production by granulosa cells. profound suppression of lh concentrations in some normogonadotropic patients can cau...
