• CAT Number: I041830
• CAS Number: 9002-61-3
• Purity: ≥95%

Chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) is a gonadotropin that can be isolated from the anterior pituitary gland. Chorionic gonadotrophin has potential applications in ovarian and follicular development[1].
Chorionic gonadotrophin (0.5 mL/d; i.m.; 6 d) leads to follicular degeneration and ovarian damage in hens[1].
Chorionic gonadotrophin (0.25 mL/d; i.m.; 9 d) significantly promotes ovarian weight gain in pullets[1].
Chorionic gonadotrophin (0.5 mL/d; i.m.; 9 d) causes signs of follicular degeneration in pullets[1].
Chorionic gonadotrophin (0.2 mL/d; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 weeks) has insignificant effect on body weight, tail length and eye refraction in rats which were subjected to hypophysectomy[2].
