LH-receptors are widely distributed in the human body. The talk focussed on ovarian and endometrial receptors. Ovarian LH receptors Uterine LH receptors In conclusion, LH and hCG should no longer be viewed as only gonadal regulating hormones. They have multiple targets in the body. Better understanding of nonclassical actions could lead to novel therapeutic applications of hCG such as prevention of threatened and habitual abortions, preterm labor, etc.
