Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders
Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1002-1016, May 2026.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 ...

Pharmacogenetics of follicle‐stimulating hormone action in the male
Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1064-1072, May 2026.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.

Archives of Andrology, 1980 The testis and ovary secrete a nonsteroidal hormone that selectively inhibits pituitary FSH secretion. Inhibin, a polypeptide hormone produced by Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules and by the granulosa cells of the ovarian follicle, is isolated from seminal fluid, rete testis fluid testicular and ovarian extracts, and follicular fluid. There may
