HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) — LH Mimetic | Reproductive Research
HCG is a 237-amino-acid glycoprotein hormone composed of α and β subunits — structurally homologous to LH (Luteinizing Hormone), FSH, and TSH. HCG binds LH/hCG receptors (LHCGR) with high affinity, producing potent gonadal stimulation. In males, HCG stimulates testicular Leydig cells to produce testosterone and maintain spermatogenesis. In females, it triggers ovulation and supports the corpus luteum. HCG has decades of clinical use in fertility medicine and hypogonadism research.

Key Research Areas
⚡ Leydig Cell Stimulation & Testosterone Research
HCG is the primary tool for studying Leydig cell function and intratesticular testosterone production. Research uses HCG to maintain testicular testosterone synthesis during androgen suppression research and to restore HPG axis function in hypogonadism models.
🌸 Female Fertility & Ovulation Research
HCG triggers ovulation by inducing the LH surge in ovarian follicle maturation research. It is the gold standard tool in ART (assisted reproductive technology) research for controlled ovarian stimulation and oocyte retrieval protocols.
🧬 HPG Axis Research
HCG enables precise manipulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis — replacing or supplementing LH in research models studying feedback regulation, receptor sensitivity, and steroidogenesis pathways.
🔬 Testicular Function Assessment
HCG stimulation tests are a clinical standard for assessing Leydig cell reserve and androgen biosynthesis capacity — enabling quantitative research into hypogonadism, cryptorchidism, and androgen deficiency models.
