Mechanism of action
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein hormone that shares an alpha subunit with LH and FSH. It binds to LH receptors at the testicular level, stimulating steroidogenesis and maintenance of Leydig cell function. In research, it is studied for its ability to support endogenous testosterone production and recovery of gonadotropic function after pituitary suppression.
