Kisspeptin as a test of hypothalamic dysfunction in pubertal and reproductive disorders
Abstract The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis is regulated by the gonadotropin‐releasing hormone pulse generator in the hypothalamus. This is comprised of neurons that secrete kisspeptin in a pulsatile manner to stimulate the release of GnRH, and, in turn, downstream gonadotropins from the pituitary gland, and subsequently sex steroids and ...

Abstract Background Myocyte enhancer factor 2 transcription factors regulate essential transcriptional programs in various cell types. The activity of myocyte enhancer factor 2 factors is modulated through interactions with cofactors, chromatin remodelers, and other regulatory proteins, which are dependent on cell context and physiological state.

Vitamin D levels and biomarkers of male fecundity: A study from the Danish National Birth Cohort
Abstract Background Vitamin D is metabolised throughout the male reproductive system, suggesting a direct regulatory role of vitamin D in male reproduction. Objectives To investigate the association between plasma vitamin D levels at sperm ejaculation and during spermatogenesis and biomarkers of male fecundity in young men.

Abstract Objective We aimed to investigate the association of a low serum testosterone concentration with the risk of abnormal glucose metabolism (i.e., prediabetes and type 2 diabetes) in men at a 15‐year follow‐up. Study population and methods In a population birth cohort, men with low testosterone (testosterone < 12.1 nmol/L, n = 136) and normal ...

Muscle Strength and Power Changes With Gender‐Affirming Hormone Therapy
ABSTRACT Background Androgen receptors are highly expressed in upper body muscles, but changes in maximal muscle strength and power in major upper body muscles have not been investigated during gender‐affirming hormone therapy (GAHT). Objective To assess prospective changes in maximal muscle strength and muscle power from before and after 1 year of ...
