Identification of the estrogen receptor GPER in neoplastic and non-neoplastic human testes

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2011
Background Estrogen signaling is mediated by estrogen receptor beta isoforms in normal and neoplastic human testes. Recently, a G-protein-coupled-receptor (GPER) has been suggested as being involved in rapid responses to estrogens in different normal and

Doxorubicin Affects Testicular Lipids with Long-Chain (C18-C22) and Very Long-Chain (C24-C32) Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids [PDF]

, 2007
Doxorubicin disrupts spermatogenesis by causing apoptosis of spermatogonia and primary spermatocytes. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of this agent on adult rat testicular lipids and their fatty acids.

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.

Cyclooxygenase and prostaglandins in somatic cell populations of the testis [PDF]

, 2015
rostaglandins (PGs) are synthesized through the action of the rate-limiting enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX) and further specific enzymes. The development of Cox-deficient mice in the 1990s gave insights into the reproductive roles of PGs. Female Cox-knockout

Semen Cryopreservation in Testicular Cancer: Before or After Orchidectomy?

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Fertility preservation in patients with testicular cancer remains a clinical priority, yet the optimal timing for sperm cryopreservation—before or after orchidectomy—remains a matter of debate. Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the optimal timing for semen cryopreservation and the best‐quality sample for ART.

Tap73 is essential for germ cell adhesion and maturation in testis [PDF]

, 2014
A core evolutionary function of the p53 family is to protect the genomic integrity of gametes. However, the role of p73 in the male germ line is unknown.

Peroxiredoxin 4 Involved in Spermatogenesis by Affecting Oxidative Stress and Ferroptosis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The main functions of testes are sperm production and androgen secretion in testicular befitting microenvironment. Excessive level of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) from metabolism and cellular events can lead to oxidative stress (OS) and ferroptosis, which injure the functions of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of ...

Virilising ovarian tumors: a single-center experience

Endocrine Connections, 2018
Literature on virilising ovarian tumors (VOTs) is limited to case reports and series reporting single pathological type. We have analyzed the clinical, hormonal, radiological, histological, management and outcome data of VOT. This retrospective study was

A multi-exon deletion within WWOX is associated with a 46,XY disorder of sex development [PDF]

, 2011
Disorders of sex development (DSD) are congenital conditions where chromosomal, gonad or genital development is atypical. In a significant proportion of 46,XY DSD cases it is not possible to identify a causative mutation, making genetic counseling ...
