title: New developments in gonadotrophin pharmacology.
abstract: This article reviews the past, present, and future of gonadotrophin therapy, including purification of gonadotrophins from animal or human urine sources and production of gonadotrophins through recombinant technology. With the advent of recombinant DNA methodologies combined with site-directed mutagenesis, a variety of structural modifications becomes possible.
