Lutropin alfa, BAN, INN, USAN. Luvcris [152923-57-4] Recombinant human luteinising hormone. Stimulates follicle maturation. Used in the treatment of infertility. Approved 2000 (EU)... 

Purified extract of human postmenopausal urine containing follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH) is known as human menopausal gonadotrophin. The relative in vivo activity is designated as a ratio, the 1 1 ratio is also known as menotrophin. 

Anabolic Steroids in Humans There are several methods to indicate that testosterone has been administered to a male human. Natural testosterone production is controlled by a feedback mechanism involving the pituitary gland, and administration of testosterone will suppress the natural production of pituitary hormones such as luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). 

Chorionic gonadotrophin (human chorionic gonadotrophin HCG) is secreted by the placenta and is obtained from the urine of pregnant women. Its predominant action is that of luteinising hormone (LH) (interstitial cell stimulating hormone) which induces progesterone production by the corpus luteum and, in the male, gonadal testosterone...
