Abstract Olfaction is the most ancient sense and is needed for food‐seeking, danger protection, mating and survival. It is often the first sensory modality to perceive changes in the external environment, before sight, taste or sound. Odour molecules activate olfactory sensory neurons that reside on the olfactory epithelium in the nasal cavity, which ...

Induction of spermatogenesis with gonadotrophins in Chinese men with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism [PDF]
SummaryThe effects of gonadotrophin administration to 17 Chinese patients with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadsm (HH) on testicular volume and induction of spermatogenesis were studied. Ten subjects had isolated HH and seven had hypopituitarism. Twelve of the subjects had prepubertal onset of HH and five of them had been treated previously with hCG for ...

Highlights Kisspeptins (KPs) were first discovered to have antimetastatic action. Historically, a role in reproduction was demonstrated. Today, there is growing experimental and clinical evidence that KPs and their receptors regulate metabolism. Disruption of KP and receptor interaction provides an interesting approach to treating metabolic conditions,

Abstract Background Obesity‐induced hypogonadism, which manifests as erectile dysfunction and a lack of libido, is a less visible and under‐recognized obesity‐related disorder in men. Objective We examined the impact of weight loss on total (TT) and free testosterone (FT) levels, and constructed nomograms to provide an easy‐to‐use visual aid for ...

Clinical Management of Congenital Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism [PDF]
The initiation and maintenance of reproductive capacity in humans is dependent on pulsatile secretion of the hypothalamic hormone GnRH. Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) is a rare disorder that results from the failure of the normal episodic
