HMG 75IU (10 Vials / Kit)

Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (HMG) at a glance

Human menopausal gonadotropin, or menotropins, is a biological extract rather than a defined synthetic peptide. It is purified from the urine of postmenopausal women, whose pituitary output of gonadotropins is high, and it contains follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone activity. In highly purified versions, part of the LH-type activity comes from human chorionic gonadotropin. Both hormones are glycoproteins made of two subunits, so the material is far larger and more complex than typical catalogue peptides.

Price and availability

Sulan Bio lists this kit of 10 vials at 75IU each, shipped from Guangzhou, China. It is listed at $90.00. Your payment waits in escrow until you confirm the parcel arrived, and only then is it released to the brand.

What it is studied for

FSH and LH act through their own G-protein-coupled receptors on gonadal cells, mainly via cAMP and protein kinase A signaling. In the ovary, FSH receptors on granulosa cells drive follicle growth and aromatase expression, while LH receptors on theca cells support androgen production that granulosa cells convert to estrogen, the classic two-cell model of steroidogenesis. In the testis, FSH acts on Sertoli cells and LH on Leydig cells to support sperm production and testosterone synthesis. HMG is used to study how combined stimulation shapes these responses.

Research and regulatory status

Menotropins is one of the oldest gonadotropin preparations in reproductive medicine and is approved in many countries as a prescription product for ovulation induction in assisted reproduction, under specialist supervision. Its clinical pharmacology is extensively documented. Recombinant FSH and LH products have since been developed, and comparisons between urinary and recombinant sources remain a topic of study. Research-grade material is a separate laboratory reagent without that clinical approval.

Checking the lab data

Because HMG is measured by activity, the key result is potency in international units for both FSH and LH, ideally determined by bioassay against an international reference standard. Mass spectrometry is less informative for these glycoproteins; immunoassay or SDS-PAGE identity checks are more typical. Sterility, endotoxin and protein content are relevant for a urine-derived product. The freeze-dried cake should be white to off-white and fully intact.

Storage and preparation

Keep unopened freeze-dried vials cold, sealed and out of the light; moisture is what degrades a lyophilized cake fastest. After reconstitution, refrigerate the solution and work within the stability window your protocol sets.

Concentration arithmetic: one 75 IU vial dissolved in 2 mL gives 37.5 IU/mL, or 75 IU/mL in 1 mL. The Research Lab calculator in your dashboard handles any other volume.
