Chorionic gonadotropin secretion in normal, nonpregnant humans.
A chorionic gonadotropinlike material is present in blood and urine of normal, nonpregnant humans, is secreted in pulsatile fashion in parallel with luteinizing hormone, is stimulated by gonadotropin-releasing hormone, and is suppressed by GnRH agonists and estrogen. The source is probably the pituitary gland.
