Semen quality in young, healthy men is not related to serum concentration of vitamin D (AndroLS)

Jozkow Pawel , Zagrodna Aleksandra , Medras Marek , Lwow Felicja , Slowinska-Lisowska Malgorzata

Introduction: Relationships between vitamin D and male fertility are not fully elucidated. Studies in infertile/subfertile subjects suggest that vitamin D status may be associated with semen parameters (1, 2). Data from healthy men is inconclusive (3, 4). Our purpose was to evaluate the andrological status and a range of biochemical, dietary and lifestyle variables in healthy men aged 18–35, living in the region of Lower Silesia (Poland) (AndroLS).M...

Gonadal profile in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia: does a male PCOS-equivalent syndrome exist?

Cannarella Rossella , Condorelli Rosita A , Vignera Sandro La , Mongioi Laura M , Vicari Enzo S , Micali Giuseppe , Calogero Aldo E

Importance: Early-onset androgenetic alopecia (AGA) has been suggested as a phenotypic sign of the male polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)-equivalent since men with this feature have a PCOS-like hormonal pattern. No study has evaluated the gonadal function of these men.Objective: To study the gonadal function of men with early-onset AGA and to identify suggestive criteria of male PCOS-equivalent.Design: This case-control study was co...

Early arterial stiffness and chronic inflammation in male equivalents of polycystic ovary syndrome

Sozen Mehmet , Baldane Suleyman , Abusoglu Sedat , Kebapcilar Levent , Kebapcilar Aysegul , Akyurek Fatma , Unlu Ali , Ipekci Suleyman Hilmi

Introduction: There is some evidence that a rise in the androgen hormone levels increases the risk for the development of a cardiovascular disease, obtained from the studies conducted on women with polycystic ovary and on men with androgenic alopecia. Inflammatory substances tend to increase in polycystic ovary syndrome and in androgenic alopecia. On this basis, we conducted a study that aimed to evaluate the early cardiovascular and metabolic effects in male patients with and...

Can salivary testosterone be used in the monitoring of men using transdermal testosterone replacement therapy?

Ahern Tomas , Adaway Jo , Monaghan Phillip , Trainer Peter , Keevil Brian

: In community-dwelling men, salivary testosterone (Sal-T) concentrations are thought to represent tissue hormone levels and correlate strongly with serum free-T levels. Measurement of salivary glucocorticoid concentrations is a non-invasive and objective means of assessing cortisol exposure in users and non-users of hydrocortisone therapy. We assessed relationships of Sal-T with transdermal testosterone replacement therapy (TD-TRT) and with markers of testosterone exposure. I...

Changes of dihydrotestosterone within the life in men

Pospišilova Hana , Duškova Michaela , Hill Martin , Starka Luboslav

Abstract: Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the most powerful naturally occurring androgen with three to six times higher biopotency than testosterone. Time onset of benign prostatic hyperplasia and alopecia in middle life could be the result of an imbalance between androgens. The decline of testosterone during lifespan is well known, controversial data can be found concerning the age dependence of DHT levels. We analysed the levels of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone and SHBG fro...

Male pseudohermaphroditism with 45,X/46,X,idic(Y) karyotype: a case presenting with dysgenetic testis on one side and almost normally sized testis on the other side

Di Bari Flavia , Vita Roberto , Benvenga Salvatore

: Dicentric Y chromosome [idic(Y)] is the most common structural abnormality of this chromosome, and generally results from altered meiotic breakage and reunion of sister chromatids. Since this rearrangement is unstable, idic(Y) may be lost in subsequent cell cycles, resulting in a mosaic 45,X cell line. Variable are the phenotype and gonads (from streak gonads to ovotestes or dysgenetic testes). Few cases of 45,X/46,X,idic(Y) male pseudohermaphroditism with testes have been r...

Methylation of the CPG islands from MTHFR promoter in male infertility

Vladoiu Suzana , Botezatu Anca , Dinu Draganescu Daniela , Manda Dana , Oros Sabina , Paun Diana , Rosca Roxana , Badiu Corin , Anton Gabriela

: A large number of studies are now focused on the causes of male infertility. Among these are epigenetic modifications, which are important contributors to reproductive pathology in the male by providing dynamic changes of the phenotype according to the environmental and metabolic factors. The most known epigenetic modification is DNA methylation and alterations in this pattern in several genes could induce male infertility. Alterations in DNA methylation patterns in several ...

Leptin modulates Sertoli cells mitochondrial function and biogenesis with implications for the nutritional support of spermatogenesis

Moreira Bruno M , D Martins Ana , Monteiro Mariana P , Sousa Mario , Alves Marco G , Oliveira Pedro F

Current lifestyle, characterized by physical inactivity and a poor diet, is heavily linked with an increased incidence of metabolic diseases. One of the most serious silent co-morbidities of those diseases is infertility. The hormonal link between food intake and energy homeostasis is mediated by the leptin ghrelin axis. Compelling evidence suggests that direct leptin’s action regulates cellular glucose homeostasis and mitochondrial biogenesis. We have recently shown that...

Azoospermia revealing the uncommon Jacob’s syndrome

Yahi Abdelkader , Haouchine Zakaria , Ould-Kablia Samia

Introduction: Dysgonosomies are abnormalities of the number of gonosomes X and Y. They have fewer Phenotypic repercussions than the aneuploidies involving autosomes, and are mostly viable. The 47 XYY are generally boys with normal phenotype. The prevalence is around 1 per 1000 birth boy but undoubtedly under diagnosed given the often normal phenotype associated with this chromosomal formula, in addition to the lack of large-scale studies. There is no gonadal dysgenesis and oft...
