HCG Shots & HCG Injections for Weight Loss
What is HCG?
HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. It is a type of hormone and although not originally developed for the treatment of obesity, it has been found useful as an additional measure for weight loss.

More Information about Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)?
| SobobaMedSpa Special Price for HCG Shot |
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a peptide hormone produced in pregnancy, that is made by the embryo soon after conception and later by the syncytiotrophoblast (part of the placenta).
Its role is to prevent the disintegration of the corpus luteum of the ovary and thereby maintain progesterone production that is critical for a pregnancy in humans. hCG may have additional functions, for instance it is thought that it affects the immune tolerance of the pregnancy. Early pregnancy testing generally is based on the detection or measurement of hCG. Because hCG is produced also by some kinds of tumor, hCG is an important tumor marker, but it is not known whether this production is a contributing cause or an effect of tumorigenesis.
Structure
HCG is an oligosaccharide glycoprotein composed of 244 amino acids with a molecular mass of 36.7 kDa. Its total dimensions are 75x35x30 angstroms (7.5x3.5x3 nanometers).
It is heterodimeric, with an a (alpha) subunit identical to that of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and ß (beta) subunit that is unique to hCG.
The a (alpha) subunit is 92 amino acids long and has dimensions 60x25x15 angstroms (6x2.5x1.5 nm).
ßhCG is encoded by six highly homologous genes which are arranged in tandem and inverted pairs on chromosome 19q13.3 - CGB(1,2,3,5,7,8).
The two subunits create a small hydrophobic core surrounded by a high surface area to volume ratio 2.8 times that of a sphere. The vast majority of the outer amino acids are hydrophilic.
Function
hCG interacts with the LHCG receptor and promotes the maintenance of the corpus luteum during the beginning of pregnancy causing it to secrete the hormone progesterone. Progesterone enriches the uterus with a thick lining of blood vessels and capillaries so that it can sustain the growing fetus. Due to its highly negative charge hCG may repel the immune cells of the mother, protecting the fetus during the first trimester. It has also been hypothesized that hCG may be a placental link for the development of local maternal immunotolerance. For example, hCG-treated endometrial cells induce an increase in T cell apoptosis (dissolution of T-cells). These results suggest that hCG may be a link in the development of peritrophoblastic immune tolerance and may facilitate the trophoblast invasion which is known to expedite fetal development in the endometrium.[1] It has also been suggested that hCG levels are linked to the severity of morning sickness in pregnant women.[2]
Because of its similarity to LH, hCG can also be used clinically to induce ovulation in the ovaries as well as testosterone production in the testes. As the most abundant biological source is women who are presently pregnant, some organizations collect urine from gravidae to extract hCG for use in fertility treatment.
Pregnancy testing
Pregnancy tests measure the levels of hCG in the blood or urine to indicate the presence or absence of an implanted embryo.
In particular, most pregnancy tests employ a monoclonal antibody (MAb), which is specific to the ß-subunit of hCG (ßhCG). This is important so that tests do not make false positives by confusing hCG with LH and FSH. (The latter two are always present at varying levels in the body, while hCG levels are negligible except during pregnancy.)
The urine test may be a chromatographic immunoassay or any of several other test formats, home-, physician's office-, or laboratory-based.[3] Published detection thresholds range from 20 to 100 mIU/ml (milli International Units per milli-liter), depending on the brand of test.[4] The urine should be the first urine of the morning when hCG levels are highest. If the specific gravity of the urine is above 1.015, the urine should be diluted.
The serum test, using 2-4 mL of venous blood, is typically a chemiluminescent or fluorimetric immunoassay[3] that can detect ßhCG levels as low as 5 mIU/ml and allows quantitation of the ßhCG concentration. The ability to quantitate the ßhCG level is useful in the evaluation of ectopic pregnancy and in monitoring germ cell and trophoblastic tumors.
Hydatidiform moles ("molar pregnancy") may produce high levels of ßhCG, despite the absence of an embryo. This, as well as several other conditions, can lead to false positive readings of pregnancy tests.
