HMG (Human Menopausal Gonadotropin) Mechanism of Action
HMG contains two main hormones which are important in fertility, that is, follicle stimulating hormone and luteininizing hormone. Follicle stimulating hormone is responsible for initiating the development of eggs in the ovaries. Luteinizing hormone is responsible for ovulation in women and the production of testosterone in the leydig cells in men. HMG binds to the LH/FSH/HCG receptor to exert its effects in women who have low levels of FHS or LH.
