Usage

General Description

Pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) is a hormone extracted from the blood of pregnant mares. It is primarily used in veterinary medicine to induce ovulation in animals, particularly in cattle and horses. PMSG has also been used in research and human medicine to stimulate the development of ovarian follicles and promote the release of eggs in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology procedures. PMSG contains a mix of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and other proteins, making it a potent inducer of ovulation and fertility in various species. However, due to ethical concerns regarding its production and the availability of synthetic alternatives, the use of PMSG has declined in recent years.
