Update on andrological effects of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and COVID‐19: An overview review
Abstract Background Evidence indicates a wide range of andrological alterations in patients with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection and Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‐19). Aim To provide an update on the andrological effects of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and COVID‐19.

Abstract Background and objectives Epididymal transit renders key competence to mammalian spermatozoa for fertilizing eggs. Generally, the two paralogs of glycogen synthase kinase 3, GSK3α and GSK3β, functionally overlap except in testis and sperm. We showed that GSK3α is essential for epididymal sperm maturation and fertilization.

The use of deidentified organ donor testes for research
Abstract Our knowledge of testis development and function mainly comes from research using mammalian model organisms, primarily the mouse. However, there are integral differences between men and other mammalian species regarding cellular composition and expression profiles during fetal and post‐natal testis development and in the mature testis ...

Abstract Background Cryopreservation of human semen is the cornerstone for preserving male fertility before gonadotoxic therapy or in cases of high variability in semen parameters. This is particular crucial in cases of severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT), where diminished sperm counts may compromise planned intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)

Reproductive functions and fertility preservation in men with sickle cell disease
Abstract Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a prevalent hereditary disorder with significant morbidity, including potential impacts on male fertility. This study aims to evaluate the semen parameters in men with SCD and assess the outcomes of fertility preservation strategies.

Abstract Background Hypogonadism and infertility are two conditions that are heavily affected by overweight and obesity in the male patient. Glucagon‐like peptide 1 agonists (GLP‐1RAs) are a recently introduced class of antidiabetic drugs with powerful weight‐loss effect; this may induce an indirect positive effect on the testicular function ...

Abstract Background Classic Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is characterized by one extra X chromosome (47, XXY), leading to hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and higher risk of alterations in glycolipid homeostasis, cardiovascular diseases, and low bone mineral density. Most frequently, KS is diagnosed in adulthood because of infertility.

Normozoospermic men in infertile couples: Potential benefit of early medical diagnostic procedures
Abstract Introduction Infertility, defined as the inability to achieve pregnancy despite regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for 1 year, affects approximately 15% of couples. Male factors contribute to 50% of these cases. The necessity of andrological evaluations for male partners of infertile couples with normozoospermia is currently under ...

Abstract Background Fetal exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has been associated with reduced male fecundity, but with few studies considering chemical mixtures. Objectives We assessed the association between fetal exposure to a mixture of EDCs and biomarkers of male fecundity in young adulthood.
