Phenotypic characterisation of mice with exaggerated and missing LH/hCG action

In order to study the physiology and pathophysiology of gonadotrophin action, we have produced transgenic (TG) mice overexpressing human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) α and β subunits (hCG+ mice) and knockout (KO) mice for the luteinising hormone receptor (LHR; LuRKO mice). The two extremes in LH fu...
