Description

HCG – Human Chorionic Gonadotropin 5000 IU

HCG 5000 IU (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a glycoprotein hormone composed of alpha and beta subunits, structurally similar to luteinizing hormone (LH). It is primarily studied for its ability to stimulate natural testosterone production, support fertility, and maintain gonadal function in both male and female endocrine research models.

In research applications, HCG mimics the action of LH by activating LH receptors in Leydig and theca cells, promoting steroidogenesis, ovulation, and gonadal development.

Key Features & Research Applications

🧬 Endocrine Regulation:
Activates LH receptors to stimulate endogenous testosterone synthesis in males and estrogen/progesterone production in females.

🧫 Fertility & Reproductive Studies:
Used in studies involving ovulation induction, spermatogenesis, and reproductive hormone balance.

💪 Testicular Function & Preservation:
Supports testicular size and function during or after suppression of gonadotropins.

⚖️ Metabolic & Anabolic Support:
Explored in conjunction with anabolic regulation models for hormone restoration and metabolic balance.

🩸 Hormonal Feedback Mechanisms:
Valuable in studies exploring the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis and its feedback control.
