Research Snapshot
-
HCG binds LHCGR, activating cAMP/PKA signaling and upregulating steroidogenic enzymes (e.g., StAR, CYP11A1) in granulosa/luteal and Leydig cell models, increasing progesterone/testosterone output in vitro and ex vivo.
-
Commonly used in ovulation/luteinization protocols in rodent models and to probe gonadal endocrine feedback and receptor pharmacology.
-
Studies report context-dependent observations such as injection-site reactions, fluid retention, and androgenic signaling effects at higher exposures in vivo; protocols typically titrate and monitor endocrine markers.
