“ hCG … iodinated proteins, with peak uptake values at 6 and 9 h. Intra-bursal injections of an ovulation inhibiting dose (0.5 mg/bursa) of indomethacin-… nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), esculetin, or caffeic acid--inhibitors of lipoxygenase--concomitantly with hCG attenuated the action of the hormone on 125I-BSA uptake.”
“Incubation of rat luteal cells with HCG in the presence of LH-RH, I1 or I2 resulted in a smaller progesterone release than that observed in the absence of the peptides.”
“Increasing … of HCG from 50 to 500 IU in the intact animal did not … inhibitory effect of I. Furthermore, twice-a-day injections of I into normal immature rats from 22 to 31 days of age significantly …; however, when injections were continued until puberty, vaginal opening was significantly delayed.”

“Placental iodine had strong, very strong, and weak negative correlations with TSH, hCG , and PRL, respectively (rTSH = − 0.763, p < 0.001;rHCG = − 0.919, p < 0.001; rPRL = − 0.312, p = 0.044).”
