HCG 1000iu

Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone produced by placental trophoblast cells. It consists of α and β subunits. The α subunit shares structural similarities with those of pituitary - derived thyroid - stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and follicle - stimulating hormone, while the β subunit is unique to HCG, giving it high specificity. After conception and implantation of the fertilized egg, trophoblast cells start secreting HCG, with levels rising rapidly as pregnancy progresses. Early pregnancy can be confirmed and its general status assessed by detecting HCG in blood or urine. Moreover, HCG is crucial for maintaining pregnancy and promoting corpus luteum development.
