Assessing a Model for a Complex Systemic Disorder—The Value of Male Mice With a Supernumerary X Chromosome for Klinefelter Syndrome Research

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Direct experimental investigation of Klinefelter syndrome (KS) in patients is limited because the syndrome manifests heterogeneously and affects multiple organ systems. Studying KS therefore requires a model that captures this complexity as accurately as possible while still permitting controlled experimental manipulation ...

In Vitro Sperm–Epididymosomes Interaction Immediately Before Fertilization Changes Sperm Fertility Potential

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sperm acquire fertility ability during epididymal maturation mainly in the epididymal caput and corpus, and once matured, are stored in the epididymal cauda. During storage, interactions with cauda epididymosomes (epEVs) may influence sperm fertility potential; however, the role of such interactions on sperm fertility remains ...

Parallel Liquid Biopsy Analysis of miR‐371a‐3p and Cell‐Free DNA in an Unselected Cohort of Patients With Testicular Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite robust data showing strong potential to improve diagnosis and disease monitoring in testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), miR‐371a‐3p testing has not yet been implemented in routine clinical practice. Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) represents another promising liquid biopsy biomarker that may provide complementary molecular ...

Paradoxical Consequence of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Misuse

, 2015
Recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is commonly misused as a weight reducing or performance enhancing agent but is associated with increased risk of thromboembolic events.

Can Hormonal Therapy Improve the Outcomes of mTESE in Patients With Non‐Obstructive Azoospermia?

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Non‐obstructive azoospermia (NOA) represents the most severe form of male infertility. Hypogonadism is common in NOA patients, and normal testosterone (T) levels are considered essential for spermatogenesis. Fertility‐preserving hormonal therapy (FpHT) has been proposed to optimize hormonal milieu and improve sperm retrieval rates ...

Prolactin in high‐metabolic risk pregnancies: Associations with maternal obesity and metabolic health

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Higher maternal BMI before and during early pregnancy is associated with lower prolactin levels across gestation and a reduced prolactin rise. Prolactin in pregnancy may reflect maternal metabolic health and has potential relevance to lactation outcomes.

Does synchronising follicular wave emergence improve outcomes in non‐superstimulated donor cattle undergoing ovum pick‐up (OPU) for in vitro embryo production?

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
In vitro embryo production (IVEP) is now a widely commercialised assisted reproductive technology used in cattle reproduction. The use of follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) to superstimulate donor cattle prior to ovum pick‐up (OPU) is generally regarded as an effective strategy to improve oocyte quality, developmental competence and increase embryo ...

Short‐Term Combined Treatment With Tirzepatide and Metformin for Overweight/Obese Chinese Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Prospective, Open‐Label, Randomised Controlled Trial

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims This study aimed to assess the effects of low‐dose tirzepatide combined with metformin (COM) versus metformin (MET) monotherapy in overweight/obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Materials and Methods Sixty overweight/obese women with PCOS were randomised to the MET group (1000 mg twice daily [BID]) or the COM group (MET ...
