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.

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 ...

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.

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.

Sperm Head–Tail Coupling Apparatus Diversity and Common Themes Among Species
ABSTRACT Background A stable connection between the sperm head (containing the nucleus and acrosome) and tail (containing the axoneme, mitochondrial sheath, and periaxonemal structures) is critical for fertility. This connection is mediated by a series of nuclear, cytoplasmic, and centriole components that make up the head–tail coupling apparatus (HTCA)

Testicular Biopsies in Adolescent and Adult Andrological Patients: The EAA Clinical Guidelines
ABSTRACT Background Histological evaluation of testicular tissue is central to the assessment of infertile men, particularly those at an increased risk of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT). Traditionally, testicular biopsies have been used primarily for diagnostic purposes, such as the detection of germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS). With advances in

Improving ARTs: Microfluidics as a Tool for Sperm Selection
ABSTRACT Sperm selection is a critical step in assisted reproductive technology (ART), as sperm quality directly influences embryo quality. In vivo, the female reproductive tract imposes several physical and physiological barriers that favors only the most optimal spermatozoa reaching the fertilization site.

ABSTRACT Introduction Maternal intake of artificial sweeteners in beverages (ASB) during pregnancy may have a programming effect on offspring health, including biomarkers of male fecundity. Objective We investigated whether maternal intake of ASB during pregnancy was associated with biomarkers of male fecundity in adult sons.

ABSTRACT Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) induces multifaceted cellular and structural alterations in the male reproductive system, thereby predisposing to infertility. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the morphological, stereological, biochemical, histopathological, and ultrastructural changes induced by DM in testicular tissue, and to ...
