Semen Quality in Transgender Individuals Seeking Fertility Preservation

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transgender individuals assigned male at birth (AMAB) may choose to preserve their fertility prior to starting gender‐affirming hormone therapy (GAHT). However, limited data exist regarding the baseline reproductive and hormonal characteristics of this population before and after GAHT.

Prolactin Receptor Expression in the Gastrointestinal-Tract - Characterization of the Prolactin Receptor of Gastric-Mucosa [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
There is evidence that prolactin (PRL) influences gastrointestinal function. However, the sites at which prolactin exerts these effects are not known. A monoclonal antibody was therefore generated against the rabbit mammary gland prolactin receptor (MAb ...

Do prolactin and its receptor play a role in alopecia areata?

open access: yesIndian Journal of Dermatology, 2018
Context: Studying the link between prolactin and autoimmunity has gained much ground over the past years. Its role played in alopecia areata (AA) is not clear yet, as previous reports yielded controversial results.

Loss‐of‐Function Variants in CCDC189 Cause Human Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia by Disrupting Sperm Flagellar and Acrosomal Architecture

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT), characterized by reduced sperm count, impaired motility, and abnormal morphology, is a major cause of male infertility with substantial genetic heterogeneity. However, the underlying genetic etiology remains unresolved in a large proportion of affected individuals.

Comparison of urinary prolactin and serum/urine prolactin ratio in hyperprolactinemic and macroprolactinemic patients

open access: yesBMC Endocrine Disorders
Background Biologically, the monomeric form of prolactin is the most active. In measurement methods, all forms of prolactin are included in the assay; therefore, the presence of macroprolactin, causes a false increase in prolactin and misdiagnosis of ...

Breastfeeding, Cellular Immune Activation, and Myocardial Recovery in Peripartum Cardiomyopathy

open access: yesJACC: Basic to Translational Science, 2019
Summary: The etiology of peripartum cardiomyopathy remains unknown. One hypothesis is that an increase in the 16-kDa form of prolactin is pathogenic and suggests that breastfeeding may worsen peripartum cardiomyopathy by increasing prolactin, while ...

Variants in ZZS Complex‐Associated Genes TEX11 and M1AP Are Responsible for Male Infertility and Nonobstructive Azoospermia

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) is the most severe form of male infertility, with genetic factors contributing to approximately 30% of cases. However, only a small fraction of all NOA cases can be explained by the current genetic findings.
