HCG 5000 IU provides Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) as lyophilized powder in a 3 mL vial.

Laboratory Research Context

Human chorionic gonadotropin is used as a research reagent in reproductive endocrinology and cell biology investigations. In nonclinical models, hCG serves as a tool compound to activate luteinizing hormone/chorionic gonadotropin (LH/CG) receptors in gonadal and extragonadal tissues.

Lu et al. (2026) used hCG as a reference gonadotropin challenge in an in vitro static culture system of rat ovarian tissues. Progesterone and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels were quantified by radioimmunoassay across estrous phases. The investigators reported that triiodothyronine (T3) administered prior to hCG altered cAMP synthesis and progesterone output, with differing responses observed between luteal and non-luteal ovarian cell populations [1].

Kolachi et al. (2026) examined hCG in combination with ketoprofen in a bovine model. In the in vitro component, lipopolysaccharide-challenged bovine endometrial epithelial cells (BEECs) were assessed for prostaglandin synthesis gene expression and reactive oxygen species accumulation. Serum metabolomic profiling by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to identify differential metabolites associated with hCG-containing groups [2].

Kumar et al. (2026) employed quantitative label-free LC-MS/MS proteomics and phosphoproteomics in human trophoblast stem cells (hTSCs) to profile kinase activity during differentiation into syncytiotrophoblasts (STBs) - a cell type characterized in part by hCG secretion - and extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) [3].
