reatment of obesity with human chorionic gonadotrophin was shown to be of no better value than saline in a double-blind crossover study of weight reduction in obese subjects

Granted, this is a in vitro study, but this study found that HCG stimulated increased leydig cell estrogen production through stimulation of aromatase activity.
e sought to duplicate the Asher-Harper study (1973)
here was no statistically significant difference in the means of the two groups in number of injections received, weight loss, percent of weight loss, hip and waist circumference, weight loss per injections, or in hunger ratings. HCG does not appear to enhance the effectiveness of a rigidly imposed regimen for weight reduction
no improvement in weight loss with HCG injections above that in dietary changes.
This isa duplication of the initial Asher-Harper study in 1973 that did show improvement in 20 women.
We conclude that there is no scientific evidence that HCG is effective in the treatment of obesity; it does not bring about weight-loss of fat-redistribution, nor does it reduce hunger or induce a feeling of well-being.
review of 24 studies, some well designed and others not, lead to conclusion:
"We conclude that there is no scientific evidence that HCG is effective in the treatment of obesity; it does not bring about weight-loss of fat-redistribution, nor does it reduce hunger or induce a feeling of well-being."
Weight loss was identical between the two groups, and there was no evidence for differential effects on hunger, mood or localized body measurements. Placebo injections, therefore, appear to be as effective as HCG in the treatment of obesity.
There was no statistically significant difference in the means
of the two groups in number of injections received, weight loss, percent of

hunger ratings
HCG does not appear to enhance the effectiveness of a

We offer pregnancy tests at our Clinic by a choice of blood test and urine test.
All pregnancy tests measure the amount of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), the pregnancy hormone, in your body.
