Long Description:
Pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) is a glycoprotein hormone synthesized and secreted by specialized cells derived from the fetal trophoblast. The hormone is a unique member of the gonadotropin family in that it contains high levels of intrinsic Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) activity.1 PMSG is commonly used in concert with progestogen to induce ovulation in livestock prior to artificial insemination. PMSG tends to be used because of its longer circulatory half-life.

PMSG
