Purification of Human Pituitary Follicle Stimulating (FSH) and Luteinizing (LH) Hormones.

Abstract

FSH and LH from human pituitaries have been isolated with high specific activities. Both FSH and LH had uterine weight increasing activity in immature rats and mice. The FSH had approximately the same activity as porcine and ovine FSH, however, the LH was 10 times as active as pure ovine LH.
