Leydig and Sertoli cell function in individuals with genital ambiguity, 46,XY karyotype, palpable gonads and normal testosterone secretion: a case-control study [PDF]

open access: yesSão Paulo Medical Journal, 2022
BACKGROUND: Because normal male sexual differentiation is more complex than normal female sexual differentiation, there are more cases of disorders of sex development (DSDs) with 46,XY karyotype that have unclear etiology.

The structural determinants of insulin-like peptide 3 activity

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
INSL3 is a hormone and/or paracrine factor which is a member of the relaxin peptide family. It has key roles as a fertility regulator in both males and females. The receptor for INSL3 is the leucine rich repeat (LRR) containing G-protein coupled receptor

INSL3/LGR8 role in testicular descent and cryptorchidism

open access: yesReproductive BioMedicine Online, 2005
Cryptorchidism, generally referred to a failure of testicular descent into the scrotum, is the most frequent (up to 3-4% at birth) congenital anomaly in newborn boys. Cryptorchidism is closely associated with impaired fertility, and represents an established risk factor for testicular cancer. Like other genital defects, cryptorchidism is believed to be

The impact of breast milk relaxin 2, oxytocin, and insulin‐like peptide 3 on neonatal growth parameters in early life

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives This study aims to quantify the levels of relaxin 2 (RLX2), oxytocin (OXT), and insulin‐like peptide 3 (INSL3) in colostrum (postpartum days 1–5, Visit 1) and mature breast milk (postpartum days 21–35, Visit 2), and to evaluate their associations with neonatal growth outcomes.
