Excerpt

Recombinant-DNA technology has provided us with qualitatively and quantitatively consistent preparations of gonadotropins. Thus, we can treat patients separately with recombinant human follicle stimulating hormone (r-hFSH) and recombinant human luteinizing hormone (r-hLH) according to the specific indication. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is the main indication where r-hLH is used along with r-hFSH. This clinical approach is consistent with the classical ‘two cell–two gonadotropins’ theory. …
