Letrozole and Crocin: Protecting Leydig Cells and Modulating Androgen Receptor and CYP19 Gene Expression in Busulfan-Induced Azoospermia

Animals
This study aimed to investigate the impact of letrozole and crocin on Leydig cells on busulfan-induced azoospermia using a rat model. A sample population consisting of thirty male rats was randomly assigned to five groups: (1) the control group, (2 ...

T Cell Microenvironmental Impacts and Therapeutic Opportunities: Application to Human Testicular Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the leading malignancy in adolescent and young adult males, yet the immunological and cellular mechanisms governing their tumor microenvironment (TME) remain poorly understood. Here, we present a comprehensive review of TGCT pathobiology with a focus on the immune landscape, particularly the role of tumor‐

Impact of Chemotherapy on Sperm Functional Characteristics in Patients With Testicular Germ Cell Tumours

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCT) are the most common malignancies among young men and represent a major threat to reproductive health. Both the disease itself and oncological treatments, particularly chemotherapy, can compromise spermatogenesis and semen quality.

Clinical outcomes and development of children born to couples with obstructive and nonobstructive azoospermia undergoing testicular sperm extraction-intracytoplasmic sperm injection: A comparative study

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2015
Objective: To evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes and development of children born between obstructive azoospermia (OA) couples and nonobstructive azoospermia couples (NOA) after testicular sperm extraction (TESE) and intracytoplasmic sperm ...

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.

Nut Consumption and Sperm Quality in Healthy Men: Results From the Led‐Fertyl Study

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nuts are rich in antioxidants and other bioactive compounds, and recent evidence suggests that their regular consumption may be associated with sperm quality. However, the current scientific evidence remains limited and inconsistent.

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

Incidence of Gonadal and Extragonadal Germ Cell Tumours in Patients With Klinefelter Syndrome

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Klinefelter's syndrome (KS; 47, XXY) is associated with an altered risk profile for malignancies compared with non‐KS males. In particular, several reports have noted a striking association between KS and extragonadal germ cell tumours (EGCTs), especially in the mediastinum, whereas the risk of testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs ...

Peroxiredoxin 4 Involved in Spermatogenesis by Affecting Oxidative Stress and Ferroptosis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The main functions of testes are sperm production and androgen secretion in testicular befitting microenvironment. Excessive level of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) from metabolism and cellular events can lead to oxidative stress (OS) and ferroptosis, which injure the functions of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of ...

Boosting Male Fertility: The Impact of Gonadotropin Therapy on Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Male hypogonadotropic hypogonadism typically presents with azoospermia and is one of the few causes of infertility amenable to a medical intervention. Gonadotropin therapy offers a chance to restore spermatogenesis and fertility in these individuals.
