HCG Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin
HCG is never created in the human body except during pregnancy and in
those rare cases in which a residue of placental tissue continues to
grow in the womb in what is known as a chorionic epithelioma. It is
never found in the male. The human type of chorionic gonadotrophin
is found only during the pregnancy of women and the great apes. It
is produced in.
enormous quantities, so that during certain phases of her pregnancy
a woman may excrete as much as one million International Units per
day in her urine - enough to render a million infantile rats
precociously mature. Other mammals make use of a different hormone,
which can be extracted from their blood serum but not from their
urine. Their placenta differs in this and other respects from that
of man and the great apes. This animal chorionic gonadotrophin is
much less rapidly broken down in the human body than HCG, and it is
also less suitable for the treatment of obesity.
As often happens in medicine, much confusion has been caused by
giving HCG its name before its true mode of action was understood.
It has been explained that gonadotrophin literally means a sex-gland
directed substance or hormone, and this is quite misleading. It
dates from the early days when it was first found that HCG is able
to render infantile sex glands mature, whereby it was entirely
overlooked that it has no stimulating effect whatsoever on normally
developed and normally functioning sex-glands. No amount of HCG is
ever able to increase a normal sex function; it can only improve an
abnormal one and in the young hasten the onset of puberty. However,
this is no direct effect. HCG acts exclusively at a diencephalic
level and there brings about a considerable increase in the
functional capacity of all those centers which are working at
maximum capacity.
The Real Gonadotrophins
Two hormones known in the female as follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
and corpus luteum stimulating hormone (LSH) are secreted by the
anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. These hormones are real
gonadotrophins because they directly govern the function of the
ovaries. The anterior pituitary is in turn
governed by the diencephalon, and so when there is an ovarian
deficiency the diencephalic center concerned is hard put to correct
matters by increasing the secretion from the anterior pituitary of
FSH or LSH, as the case may be. When sexual deficiency is clinically
present, this is a sign that the diencephalic center concerned is
unable, in spite of maximal exertion, to cope with the demand for
anterior pituitary stimulation. When then the administration of HCG
increases the functional capacity of the diencephalon, all demands
can be fully satisfied and the sex deficiency is corrected.
That this is the true mechanism underlying the presumed
gonadotrophic action of HCG is confirmed by the fact that when the
pituitary gland of infantile rats is removed before they are given
HCG, the latter has no effect on their sex-glands. HCG cannot
therefore have a direct sex gland stimulating action like that of
the anterior pituitary gonadotrophins, as FSH and LSH are justly
called. The latter are entirely different substances from that which
can be extracted from pregnancy urine and which, unfortunately, is
called chorionic gonadotrophin. It would be no more clumsy, and
certainly far more appropriate, if HCG were henceforth called
chorionic diencephalotrophin.
