Luteinizing hormone receptor knockout mouse: What has it taught us?

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Luteinizing hormone (LH), along with its agonist choriongonadotropin (hCG) in humans, is the key hormone responsible for the tropic regulation of the gonadal function. LH and hCG act through their cognate receptor, the luteinizing hormone/choriongonadotropin receptor (LHCGR; more appropriately LHR in rodents lacking CG), located in the testis ...

TXNDC2 joint molecular marker is associated with testis pathology and is an accurate predictor of sperm retrieval

Scientific Reports, 2021
The association of PRM1/2 with male azoospermia is well-documented, but the relationship between TXNDC2 deficiency and the azoospermia phenotype, sperm retrieval, and pathology has not been elucidated.

The use of deidentified organ donor testes for research

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Our knowledge of testis development and function mainly comes from research using mammalian model organisms, primarily the mouse. However, there are integral differences between men and other mammalian species regarding cellular composition and expression profiles during fetal and post‐natal testis development and in the mature testis ...

Algorithms for Predicting the Probability of Azoospermia from Follicle Stimulating Hormone: Design and Multi-Institutional External Validation

The World Journal of Men's Health, 2022
Purpose: To predict the probability of azoospermia without a semen analysis in men presenting with infertility by developing an azoospermia prediction model. Materials and Methods: Two predictive algorithms were generated, one with follicle stimulating

Semen quality in patients with testicular cancer is associated with age and with greatly elevated levels of beta human chorionic gonadotropin

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Poor semen quality is a well‐known feature in patients with testicular germ cell tumours (GCTs) at the time of diagnosis but the underlying biological reasons are incompletely understood. Objectives This study aimed to identify GCT‐specific clinical factors that are involved with poor semen quality in GCT patients.

Pharmacogenetics of follicle‐stimulating hormone action in the male

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Male factor infertility (MFI) is involved in half of the cases of couple infertility. The follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) therapy is considered efficient to improve semen parameters and pregnancy rate in patients with idiopathic MFI, following the lesson learned from hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

The role of iron in normal and impaired testicular function

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Iron plays a critical role in testicular physiology, impacting spermatogenesis, testosterone production, and overall testicular function. Iron homeostasis is maintained through systemic and cellular regulatory mechanisms, including hepcidin‐mediated systemic iron control and the iron‐responsive element/iron regulatory protein (IRE/IRP) system ...

A case of azoospermia in a non-destructive testing worker exposed to radiation

Annals of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2017
Background Interest in radiation-related health problems has been growing with the increase in the number of workers in radiation-related jobs. Although an occupational level of radiation exposure would not likely cause azoospermia, several studies have ...

Development of a nomogram for sperm retrieval at microTESE for idiopathic non‐obstructive azoospermia in a multi‐center cohort study

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Non‐obstructive azoospermia (NOA) affects approximately 10% of infertile men and represents a major challenge in assisted reproductive technology (ART). A model that includes histological variants could be helpful in predicting sperm retrieval rate (SRR) after microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) in patients affected ...

Seminal Plasma Exosomal miRNA Profiling Reveals hsa‐miR‐7‐5p as a Key Regulator of Sperm Motility in Asthenozoospermia

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Asthenozoospermia is a significant contributing factor to male infertility. Accumulating evidence indicates that impaired sperm motility is closely linked to dysregulated microRNA expression during spermatogenesis. Seminal plasma exosomes are enriched with diverse microRNAs, which play pivotal roles in modulating sperm motility, the
