Mind the gap: Can we explain declining male reproductive health with known antiandrogens? [PDF]
This article has been made available through the Brunel Open Access Publishing Fund.Several countries have experienced rises in cryptorchidisms, hypospadias and testicular germ cell cancer. The reasons for these trends are largely unknown, but Skakkebaek

Testicular alterations in hansen's disease
Fifty testicular specimens and seminal fluid of 10 normal individuals and 24 patients with Hansen's disease were studied. General and early histological alterations, the frequency of young spermatides in tubular lumen and the measure of the diameters of 1.450 seminiferous tubules were checked.

Endothelial PDGF Signaling Dysregulation Impairs Testicular Interstitial Homeostasis in Diabetes
Testicular endothelial cells (TECs) function as central signaling hubs that coordinate interstitial homeostasis. Diabetes disrupts TEC‐derived PDGF signaling, silences the JUND‐MCL1 survival program in Leydig cells, and impairs peritubular function, leading to fibrosis and testosterone insufficiency.

Identification of Compound Heterozygous CYP11A1 Variants via Reanalysis of Clinical Sequencing Data
ABSTRACT A molecular diagnosis is currently achievable in approximately 50% of patients assessed by clinical geneticists at tertiary care centres. Next‐Generation Sequencing Panels contain a defined group of genes associated with a clinically defined set of phenotypes.

Immunoreactive human chorionic gonadotropin and its free ß-subunit in serum and ascites of patients with malignant tumors [PDF]
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a clinically relevant marker of trophoblastic and nontrophoblastic malignancies. In the present studies, in addition to determining serum hCG, we investigated the presence and properties of hCG immunoreactivity in ...

Variants of human chorionic gonadotropin from pregnant women and tumor patients recognized by monoclonal antibodies [PDF]
In biological fluids, hCG and its free alpha- (hCG alpha) and beta-subunits (hCG beta), occur in multiple forms. These various forms differ at the molecular level primarily in glycosylation, but also differ in protein backbone modifications corresponding

Adropin is related to the energy homeostasis‐associated gene. It significantly increased glutathione reductase enzyme levels in the pancreas of experimental diabetic rats. Adropin may reduce the severity of diabetes and its complications. Cell proliferation in the exocrine is reduced after the administration of adropin.
