HMG 75 IU

HMG is supplied as a 75 IU lyophilised powder in a sealed single-use vial. It is a gonadotropin preparation characterised by follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinising hormone activity, stocked for laboratories working in reproductive endocrinology and gonadotropin signalling. Manufactured in the USA and released against a lot-matched certificate of analysis.

Mechanism of Action

HMG contains gonadotropin activity attributable to both FSH and LH. FSH acts at follicle-stimulating hormone receptors on granulosa and Sertoli cells; LH acts at luteinising hormone receptors on theca and Leydig cells. Because the preparation carries both activities in a single material, it is used in research where the interaction of the two gonadotropin pathways is the subject of study rather than either in isolation.

Preclinical Research

Gonadotropin signalling is a long-established area of endocrine research covering receptor binding kinetics, steroidogenesis pathways and the regulatory relationships of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Preparations carrying combined FSH and LH activity are of specific interest in work characterising how the two signals interact.

Research Applications

Used as an investigational tool in reproductive endocrinology models, gonadotropin receptor studies and steroidogenesis research. It is also used as a comparator in work distinguishing combined gonadotropin activity from single-hormone preparations.

Available Sizes

Peptides Source supplies HMG at 75 IU per vial. Tiered pricing applies automatically at three units and above.

Protocol & Handling

Reconstitute the lyophilised powder with bacteriostatic water to the desired research concentration. Store the sealed vial at -20°C, keep reconstituted material refrigerated and protected from light, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Gonadotropin activity is sensitive to handling, so consistent preparation matters where potency is being measured across runs.

HMG Frequently Asked Questions

What is HMG?

HMG is a gonadotropin preparation characterised by follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinising hormone activity, supplied as a 75 IU lyophilised powder for laboratory research.

How does HMG work in research models?

It carries both FSH and LH activity, acting at their respective receptors. It is used where the interaction between the two gonadotropin pathways is the subject of study.

Why is HMG measured in IU rather than milligrams?

Gonadotropin preparations are standardised by biological activity rather than mass, so international units describe the material more meaningfully than weight.

How is HMG reconstituted and stored?

Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water to the desired research concentration. Store the sealed vial at -20°C, keep reconstituted material refrigerated, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Is HMG for human use?

No. It is sold strictly as a research chemical for laboratory use by qualified professionals. It is not for human or animal consumption.
