Living Together, Loving Apart: Health, Sexuality and Relationships in Middle‐Aged and Older Men in Europe

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Over time, family structures have grown more complex, diversifying adult relationships. While research has compared marital, cohabiting and living apart together relationships based on quality and health, less is known about their sexual dynamics.

Low levels of sex hormone-binding globulin and hyperproinsulinemia as markers of increased pancreatic ß-cell demand in men

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
Low levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) are considered to be an indirect index of hyperinsulinemia, predicting the later onset of diabetes mellitus type 2.

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 ...

Aging-related increases in serum sex hormone-binding globulin levels in men might be related to increased synthesis

Experimental Gerontology, 2023
Background: Previous studies have indicated that serum sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels increase with age; however, the causes remain unknown.

Limited Clinical Impact of Androgen Receptor Repeat Length (CAG and GGC) in Klinefelter Syndrome: A Multivariable Analysis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is characterized by marked phenotypic heterogeneity that might be influenced by genetic modifiers, including androgen receptor (AR) repeat length (CAGn and GGCn). The clinical relevance of these repeat lengths in patients with KS before testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) remains unclear.

Does sex hormone-binding globulin cause insulin resistance during pubertal growth?

Endocrine Connections, 2019
Background: The directional influences between serum sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), adiposity and insulin resistance during pubertal growth remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate bidirectional associations between SHBG and insulin

Impact of FSHB and FSHR Genes Polymorphisms on Hormonal Profile and Sperm Retrieval Outcome in Men With Klinefelter Syndrome: A Clinical–Genetic Predictive Study

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Genetic variability within the follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH)‐related genes might contribute to phenotypic heterogeneity in patients with Klinefelter syndrome (KS), yet its clinical impact on sperm retrieval remains unclear. Objectives To investigate the association between FSHB c.211 G > T and FSHR polymorphisms (c.2039 A > G ...

Intrauterine Growth and Male Reproductive Health: A Follow‐up Study From the Danish National Birth Cohort

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Reduced intrauterine growth might affect male reproductive health later in life, however, existing research remain inconclusive. Objectives To investigate the association between placental weight and birthweight Z‐scores and semen characteristics, testes volume, and reproductive hormone levels in young men.

Machine Learning‐Based Prediction of Sperm Retrieval Outcomes in Patients With Klinefelter Syndrome: A Multicenter Study With External Validation

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The Klinefelter syndrome is a common genetic cause of male infertility, and testicular sperm extraction (TESE) enables sperm retrieval in a subset of affected patients. However, predicting TESE success remains challenging due to the heterogeneous clinical and endocrinological presentation of the Klinefelter syndrome.

The Bidirectional Association Between MASLD and Male Hypogonadism: An Updated Meta‐Analysis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and male hypogonadism are increasingly prevalent, metabolically interrelated conditions. Testosterone (T) deficiency has been implicated in hepatic lipid dysregulation, insulin resistance, and visceral adiposity, whereas MASLD may impair the hypothalamic–pituitary ...
