Determinants of Immunoglobulin‐G N‐Glycan Patterns in the Aging General Population

Allergy, EarlyView.
The effect of demographic and lifestyle factors on IgG N‐glycosylation, which determines IgG's inflammatory response, remains poorly characterized. Aging, higher BMI, female sex, smoking, and heavy alcohol consumption are determinants of IgG N‐glycome patterns, which are indicative of inflammation. Women exhibit a distinct change in IgG N‐glycosylation

Multifactorial determinants of male genital measurements: Correlations of stretched penile length and anogenital distance with anthropometric parameters

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The stretched penile length is recognized as the most reliable measure of true penile size, this fact is not widely acknowledged, and societal myths often associate penile length with other anthropometric measurements. While markers of prenatal androgen exposure, such as anogenital distance and the second‐to‐fourth digit ratio (2D ...

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.

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.

Association Between FTO rs1558902 Polymorphism, Age‐Related Hypogonadism, and Central Obesity in Japanese Men

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Obesity and low testosterone levels are closely interconnected, with the FTO gene being the most robust genetic determinant of body mass index (BMI). However, whether this primary genetic driver of obesity directly influences the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐testicular (HPT) axis remains unclear.

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 ...
