SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) 5000 IU – Lab Research Supply is a laboratory grade glycoprotein hormone (LH/CG receptor agonist) commonly classified within research peptide and protein tools. As a high purity peptide resource, HCG for research is valued for probing endocrine signaling, trophoblast biology, and neuroimmune pathways central to contemporary scientific research.

SECTION 2: RESEARCH APPLICATIONS

• Investigated in studies examining LH/CG receptor activation, cAMP signaling, and steroidogenic enzyme regulation in endocrine cell models.
• Research has explored its role in modulating gene expression linked to steroidogenesis and receptor desensitization in gonadal and adrenal systems.
• In-vitro studies have demonstrated effects on trophoblast differentiation, placental hormone secretion, and glycosylation-dependent bioactivity.
• Animal model research suggests involvement in neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory signaling cascades relevant to neuroimmune pathways.
• Laboratory investigations focus on receptor binding kinetics, downstream second-messenger pathways, and structure–activity relationships.
• Preclinical models have assessed impacts on angiogenic signaling and tissue remodeling relevant to recovery and healing research contexts.
