The role of iron in normal and impaired testicular function

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Iron plays a critical role in testicular physiology, impacting spermatogenesis, testosterone production, and overall testicular function. Iron homeostasis is maintained through systemic and cellular regulatory mechanisms, including hepcidin‐mediated systemic iron control and the iron‐responsive element/iron regulatory protein (IRE/IRP) system ...

Sperm Telomere Interactions Are Impaired in Testicular Cancer Before and After Adjuvant Therapy

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background No study has yet explored telomere length or interaction in sperm nuclei of testicular cancer (TC) patients exposed to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. However, sperm telomere dynamics have emerged as a potential marker in male infertility.

T Cell Microenvironmental Impacts and Therapeutic Opportunities: Application to Human Testicular Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) are the leading malignancy in adolescent and young adult males, yet the immunological and cellular mechanisms governing their tumor microenvironment (TME) remain poorly understood. Here, we present a comprehensive review of TGCT pathobiology with a focus on the immune landscape, particularly the role of tumor‐

Influence of fetal Leydig cells on the development of adult Leydig cell population in rats

Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2018
Leydig cells are the main endogenous testosterone synthesis cells in the body. Testosterone is an essential hormone in males that affects metabolism, emotion, and pubertal development. However, little is known about the development of Leydig cells and relationship between fetal Leydig cells (FLCs) and adult Leydig cells (ALCs).

Late Histopathological Features of Testis Tissue in a Patient With Male Pseudohermaphroditism Due to Leydig Cell Aplasia

Endocrinology Research and Practice, 2006
Leydig cell aplasia is a rare form of male pseudohermaphroditism. We determined Leydig cell aplasia in a 39 yr old patient, grown up as a female, with female external genitalia and primary amenorrhea.

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 ...

Diacerein Disrupts Testicular Homeostasis: The Essential Role of Basal Cytokines in Maintaining Sertoli Cell Integrity and the Immune Microenvironment

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pro‐inflammatory cytokines, TNF and IL‐1B, are essential for testicular homeostasis. Diacerein, an anti‐inflammatory drug, inhibits these cytokines, impairing M2 macrophages and Leydig cells (LCs). However, its impact on Sertoli cells (SCs) and M1 (CD68) macrophages remains unknown.

Leydig-cell tumour in children: variable clinical presentation, diagnostic features, follow-up and genetic analysis of four cases

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Testicular tumours are relatively uncommon in infants and children, accounting for only 1-2% of all paediatric solid tumours. Of these approximately 1.5% are Leydig-cell tumours.

Neoplastic Risk in Patients With Klinefelter Syndrome

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Besides gonadal involvement (hypogonadism, male factor infertility, and testicular hypotrophy), patients with Klinefelter syndrome (KS) may suffer from several extra‐gonadic complications, including neoplastic events. Objective The aim of this review is to summarize all major clinical evidence dealing with the association between KS

In vitro and in vivo studies on the effect of a mitochondrial fusion promoter on Leydig cell integrity and function

Frontiers in Toxicology
Background: The interstitial testicular Leydig cells are responsible for the production of testosterone, which functionally deteriorate with normal aging.
