HCG 10000IU

HCG 10000IU – Human Chorionic Gonadotropin for Research

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. It is a key research tool used to study reproductive biology, hormonal regulation, and certain metabolic processes.

Composition and Function

HCG acts by binding to and activating the luteinizing hormone (LH) receptor, mimicking the action of LH. This stimulates the production of testosterone in males and progesterone in females. Its hormone-mimicking properties make it valuable for studying the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.

Research Applications

HCG is used in research to study fertility, hypogonadism, and other reproductive disorders. It is also used in studies exploring the effects of testosterone and other sex hormones on physiology and behavior.

Storage and Handling

Store HCG in a lyophilized state at -20°C. Once reconstituted, it should be stored at 4°C and used within a short period. Protect from light and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
