Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis is regulated by the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone pulse generator in the hypothalamus. This is comprised of neurons that secrete kisspeptin in a pulsatile manner to stimulate the release of GnRH, and, in turn, downstream gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, and subsequently sex steroids and ...

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 ...

Folding, misfolding, and regulation of intracellular traffic of G protein‐coupled receptors involved in the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background G protein‐coupled receptors are a large and functionally diverse family of membrane receptors involved in a number of biological processes. Like other proteins, G protein‐coupled receptors need to be properly folded in order to traffic to the plasma membrane and interact with agonist.

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.

اثر عصاره الکلی گیاه آب بشقابی بر غلظت سرمی تستوسترون، FSH و LH در موش صحرایی نر نژاد ویستار [PDF]

مجله دانشگاه علوم پزشکی سبزوار, 1970
زمینه و هدف: تعداد اسپرم ها و قدرت باروری آن ها به سطح هورمون های آندروژنی خون وابسته است. بنابراین احتمال می رود که عصاره گیاه آب بشقابی بر سطح هورمون های موثر در روند اسپرماتوژنز اثر بگذارد. به همین منظور، مطالعه ای با هدف تعیین اثر عصاره الکلی گیاه آب

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 satiety hormone cholecystokinin gates reproduction in fish by controlling gonadotropin secretion

eLife
Life histories of oviparous species dictate high metabolic investment in the process of gonadal development leading to ovulation. In vertebrates, these two distinct processes are controlled by the gonadotropins follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and ...

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 ...

Macro-FSH is a rare cause of inappropriately high FSH concentrations

Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports
Summary Assessment of hormone concentrations can be subjected to laboratory pitfalls. Macro-hormones are hormone–autoantibody complexes which are cleared slowly from circulation and cause a false elevation in hormones’ concentrations. Macro-prolactin and macro-thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are most frequently encountered while macro-follicle ...

Healthy Aging Men Do Not Suffer From Relevant Limitations of Their Reproductive Functions

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background While metabolic disorders are well‐established contributors to testosterone decline and erectile dysfunction (ED), little is known about the natural progression of reproductive parameters in healthy aging men. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate longitudinal changes in reproductive parameters and sought to determine the ...
