Mechanism of Action

FOLLITROPIN ALPHA
Follitropin is important for spermatogenesis, gonadal steroid production and follicule growth and maturation
LUTROPIN ALFA
Luteinizing hormone binds to a receptor shared with the human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hcg) on the ovarian theca (and granulosa) cells and testicular leydig cells. This lh/cg transmembrane receptor is a member of the super-family of g protein-coupled receptors. Adenylate cyclase then activates many other pathways leading to steroid hormone production and other follicle maturation processes
