Serum Concentrations and Gonadal Expression of INSL3 in Eighteen Males With 45,X/46,XY Mosaicism

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
ObjectiveInsulin-like factor 3 (INSL3) is produced in the testes and has been proposed as a circulating biomarker of Leydig cell capacity, but remains undescribed in 45,X/46,XY mosaicism. The aim was to examine serum concentrations and gonadal expression

In vitro investigation of endocrine disrupting effects of pesticides on Ca2+-signaling in human sperm cells through actions on the sperm-specific and steroid-activated CatSper Ca2+-channel

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2022
Background: Ca2+-signaling controls sperm cell functions necessary for successful fertilization. Multiple endocrine disrupting chemicals have been found to interfere with normal Ca2+-signaling in human sperm cells through an activation of the sperm ...
