Abstract

The rate of clearance of immunoreactive hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) from serum in six pregnant and three non-pregnant monkeys was determined by radioimmunoassay, following the i.v. injection of 2 mg of highly purified hCG. The study revealed that the disappearance of hCG takes place in two phases in both groups, an initial fast (197.5±14.5 min for pregnant and 94±4.8 min for non-pregnant monkeys) phase, followed by a slow (1230±62 min for pregnant and 966±43 min for non-pregnant monkeys) phase. The rate of clearance appears to be faster in non-pregnant than in pregnant monkeys.
