[QUOTE="Mocha, post: 9716, member: 1939"] Here's an article on hCG and the human Retina. [URL]http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0052567[/URL] I am concerned because I believe it says that hCG can be harmful for the Retina. Extracts: [B]hCG and Retinoblastoma Proliferation[/B] When treated with hCG, Y79 showed an[B] increased proliferation [/B]as revealed by wst1 assay ([URL="http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0052567#pone-0052567-g006"]Figure 6[/URL]). After 60 hours of treatment (light blue bars), the effect was statistically significant with 10 mU/ml of hCG only, while after 120 hours (middle blue bars), the proliferation was significantly increased with hCG concentration ranging from 0,1 mIU/ml to 10 IU/ml. After 240 hours hCG treatment had no statistical effect on retinoblastoma proliferation as values were comparable to the control situation (deep blue bars). Here's another extract: In addition, we found LHR expressed at the surface of human retinoblastoma cell lines and [B]demonstrated the positive action of hCG on the proliferation of these cancer cells derived from cone photoreceptors, an effect that was inhibit by anti-LHR co-treatment.[/B] Basically, it says hCG is very active in the Retina and causes the cells in the retina (especially the photoreceptor cells to multiply, this leading to retinoblastoma -- a cancer of the Retina). Disclaimer: I'm poor at interpreting these complex studies. I am a Glaucoma suspect (a disease of the Retina and the Optic Nerve), and I came across this article when researching ocular conditions and hCG. One of the first things I look for are the negative aspects / dangers / side-effects of the therapy, and hence I've posted this article. It would be very helpful if the experts here could take a few minutes to put this article in context and share their views. [/QUOTE]
