Biologic Effect of Human Pituitary Luteinizing Hormone and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

  • Chapter
The Human Testis

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 10))

Abstract

Bioassay [ovarian ascorbic acid depletion (OAAD) and ventral prostate weight (VPW) assays] and radioimmunoassay of Human Pituitary Luteinizing Hormone (HLH) and of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) indicate differences in biologic activity and immunologic reactivity of these preparations. Information concerning the comparative effect of these gonadotropin materials in the human testes is meager. Hence, it was decided to conduct acute studies with HLH and HCG in four normal adult male volunteers, and in two adolescent male subjects with immature testes.
