Stimulating Hormone

The three substances now used to stimulate the gonads in infertility are human follicle stimulating hormone (HFSH) obtained mainly from post-menopausal urine, but also from human pituitary glands, human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) extracted from the urine of pregnant women, and clomiphene (Clomid - Merrell), a synthetic compound which we reviewed in 1967.1

SUMMARY 1. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) has been obtained from the urine of pregnant women. 2. It was prepared by adsorption on kaolin from urine which had been treated with benzoic acid to remove excess human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) and was assayed by the procedure which depends on the increase in ovarian weight of immature mice treated simultaneously with HCG. 3. Preliminary results are given for the assay of FSH in normal pregnancy.

ABSTRACT Concentrations of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) were measured in randomly voided urine of 50 women during pregnancy by double antibody radioimmunoassay. Daily 24 h urine specimens were also collected once a week from 4 pregnant women from the early period of pregnancy up to delivery. In the 4 women, pregnancy was induced by the treatment with ovulatory agents. Urinary total oestrogens excretion as well as the FSH and HCG excretions were determined in the 24 h specimens. In the randomly voided urine, the concentration of FSH showed a tendency to increase progressively until term. The concentration of HCG was highest at weeks 9–12. Similar patterns of both the urinary FSH and HCG excretions were found in the serially collected 24 h specimens. However, continuous fluctuation in the FSH excretion was observed in two of the four cases followed throughout pregnancy. The urinary excretions of total oestrogens in 24 h specimens showed a relatively steady rise from week 16 and reached a peak before the onset of delivery. The excretion of total oestrogens as well as HCG showed a rapid fall after delivery.
