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...

Luteinizing hormone/human chorionic gonadotropin stimulates progesterone biosynthesis in the corpus luteum by activating cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase A cascade. Recent studies have shown that cyclic adenosine monophosphate-mediated activation of protein kinase A interacts with the mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathways. Furthermore, the use of mammalian target of rapa...

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...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relative importance of thyroid hormones and human chorionic gonadotropin in relation to the risk of gestational thyrotoxicosis in Saudi women living in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. METHODS A prospective study was conducted on Saudi healthy pregnant women (N=406) at 12-15 weeks of gestation and compared with healthy non-pregnant controls (N=200). Maternal serum le...

background: abnormal oocyte morphology has been associated with the hormonal environment to which the gametes are exposed. objective: in this study, we evaluated the oocytes morphology, fertilization rate, embryos quality, and implantation rate resulted of retrieved oocytes in different times after human chorionic gonadotrophin (hcg) administration. materials and methods: a total of 985 metapha...

abstract: introduction & objective: the infertility treatment by using in vitro matured oocyte has many potential applications. it minimizes the risk of ovarian hyper stimulation and is an alternative treatment for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome who may have problems regarding stimulation for ivf. this method may prove important for subjects in need of fertility preservation and also pr...

With the increasing use of gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist protocols, it has become an option to trigger ovulation with gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist which has several advantages over human chorionic gonadotropin triggering; among those an elimination or reduction in ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, and a reduction in luteal phase discomfort. Thus, this paper questions the ...

Urinary estradiol production rates, plasma estradiol, and peripheral conversion of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) to estradiol were explored in patients whose neoplasms made human chorionic gonadotropin and/or human chorionic gonadotropin beta fragments. In five men with choriocarcinoma, estradiol production was elevated, plasma estradiol was high, and DHEAS conversion to estradiol rang...
