Chorionic gonadotropins

Chorionic gonadotropin (CG) is produced in the placenta. Together- with the pituitary hormones, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), it constitutes the glycoprotein family of gonadotropins. The actions of CG are mediated by the LH receptor, both belonging to the superfamily of G-protein Coupled Receptors. [Pg.361]

Chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is extracted from human placentas. The actions of HCG are identical to those of the pituitary LH. The hormone is used to induce ovulation in anovulatory women. This drug is also used for the treatment of prepubertal cryptorchism (failure of the testes to descend into the scrotum) and in men to treat selected cases of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. [Pg.511]
