Chorionic gonadotropin (health)


Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a peptide hormone produced in Pregnancy, that is made by the embryo soon after conception and later by the trophoblast (part of the placenta). Its role is to prevent the demise 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.
