Serum Gonadotrophin is a biological product derived from animal serum that contains two main active ingredients, Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinising Hormone (LH). It is usually extracted from the serum of pregnant mares and is therefore also known as Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotropin (PMSG).Serum Gonadotrophin has the ability to stimulate ovarian and testicular function and plays a key role in the promotion of reproductive processes.
Main uses
1. Animal reproduction
Serum Gonadotrophin API is widely used in animal husbandry for improving animal reproduction. Injection of PMSG can induce estrus and ovulation in female animals, helping to improve breeding efficiency and litter size.
2. Assisted Reproductive Medicine
Serum Gonadotrophin is used as a hormonal therapeutic agent in assisted human reproductive technology to promote multiple follicular development of the ovaries, especially for techniques such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
Preparation and properties
- Source: Serum Gonadotrophin
Serum Gonadotrophin is primarily extracted from the serum of pregnant mares and undergoes a multi-step purification process to ensure its purity and activity.
- Active ingredients
The main active ingredients are FSH and LH, which act synergistically to regulate the function of the reproductive system.
- Formulations and specifications
The active ingredients are usually used in the preparation of injections or lyophilised powders, which must be stored at low temperatures to ensure that their biological activity is not destroyed.
Quality requirements
The production of Serum Gonadotrophin APIs requires strict control of purity, activity and impurity levels. Quality standards are usually based on the International Pharmacopoeia, which requires certain standards of FSH and LH activity and ensures that there is no viral or bacterial contamination.
In summary, Serum Gonadotrophin API is a widely used biological product in reproductive medicine and animal husbandry and its preparation and use requires strict quality control and scientific management.
