Abstract excerpt
Human gonads and non-gonadal organs/tissues express luteinizing hormone/chorionic gonadotropin (LH/CG) receptors. This study aimed to identify the LH/CG receptors and to clarify their function in human placental chorionic villous macrophages. Macrophages as well as syncytiotrophoblasts of human chorionic villous tissues were immunohistochemically positive for LH/CG receptor throughout gestation. By reverse...
