HMG

Catalog no. PH-HMG-001Size Hmg
Description
HMG (human menopausal gonadotropin) is a preparation with equal activity of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), purified from the urine of postmenopausal women. It's a long-established gonadotropin reference material in reproductive research.
Mechanism
It supplies FSH and LH activity together. FSH drives follicular development and spermatogenesis; LH supports ovulation and Leydig-cell testosterone production. In IVF research, combined FSH/LH activity was associated with fertilization rates comparable or favorable to pure FSH (Westergaard et al., 1996; Gordon & Sauer, 1995).
Research Applications
- Reproductive and assisted-reproduction research (Westergaard et al., 1996)
- HPG-axis studies
- Spermatogenesis and folliculogenesis
- Gonadotropin pharmacology (Gordon & Sauer, 1995)
