पर्याय

  • Human Placental Lactogen

MCQ

उत्तर

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin

Explanation:

The placenta secretes human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the early stages of pregnancy. It aids the corpus luteum, which generates the progesterone required to preserve the lining of the uterus and keep the pregnancy going. In the absence of hCG, the corpus luteum would retreat, increasing the chance of miscarriage.
