Differential effects of genetically inherited – and high fat diet induced – obesity on spermatogenesis in adult male rats

Deshpande Sharvari , Nemani Harishankar , Pothani Suresh , Balasinor Nafisa

Obesity, a new world syndrome, is defined as excessive white adipose tissue accumulation, that may impair health leading to severe metabolic and reproductive complications affecting millions of people of different age groups. Recent studies have shown that incidence of male obesity induced fertility issues are rising in couples undergoing assisted reproductive technologies suggesting that obesity is emerging as an established risk factor for male infertility or subfertility. O...

Hematological indices in congenital hypogonadism and the effect of testosterone replacement therapy: A retrospective study

Haymana Cem , Demirci Ibrahim , Dinc Mustafa , Demir Orhan , Akin Onur , Meric Coskun , Aydogdu Aydogan , Sonmez Alper , Azal Omer

Introduction: Patients with hypogonadism are at increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. Mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are hematological indices that are surrogate markers of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. This study investigated the platelet count, MPV levels, PLR, and NLR in patients with congenital hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (CHH) and also studied the effect of testosterone replacement thera...

Triglyceride-Glucose index levels in patients with congenital hypogonadism

Demirci Ibrahim , Haymana Cem , Demir Orhan , Kirnap Nazli Gulsoy , Meric Coskun , Sonmez Yusuf Alper , Gulcelik Nese Ersoz , Aydogdu Aydogan , Azal Omer

Introduction: It is well known that patients with hypogonadism are at increased risk for insulin resistance and cardiovascular diseases. In many studies homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) formulation is used for the evaluation of insulin resistance. Recently, a simple and inexpensive approach to evaluate for insulin resistance has been developed, the Triglyceride – Glucose (TyG) index. This particular index is based on measuring the levels of fastin...

Erectile Dysfunction – The hidden sickness we don’t seek

Roque Catarina , Capitao Ricardo , Ferrinho Catia , Duarte Sequeira , Vasconcelos Carlos

Introduction: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is highly prevalent and negatively impacts the patient’s and the partner’s quality of life. It is a well-established red flag for ongoing neuro-vascular disease and a predictor of coronary, cerebral and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Our aim was to document how often do clinicians investigate ED and use it as a predictor of neuro-vascular pathology to trigger a thorough revision of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF). This a...

Leptin targets in the male reproductive tract of mice

Hart Robert , Dobos Robin , Agnew Linda , McFarlane James

Leptin is best known as an appetite and metabolic rate modulator secreted from fat, but it also has a range of other functions including modulation in reproductive physiology. To date, most studies examining the role of leptin in male reproduction have focussed on individual tissues, often in vitro. In the current report, a bolus physiological dose of iodinated leptin was administered intravenously to male mice to and samples collected over a one hour time course to d...

Child wish and fertility preservation in assigned male at birth transgender persons living in Belgium

Defreyne Justine , Schuylenbergh Judith Van , Wyverkens Elia , Motmans Joz , T'Sjoen Guy

Objectives: Transgender persons undergoing gender affirming hormonal and/or surgical care, are at risk of reduced fertility. Although theoretically, the options for assigned male at birth (AMAB) transgender people to fulfill their child wish are extensive, research in transgender women shows low fertility preservation utilization. Ideas and concerns of AMAB transgender persons regarding fertility preservation and child wish have never been reported in a large, non-clinical sam...

The relationship between PTEN mutations and resistance to androgen-deprivation therapy in prostate cancer

Alzoubi Abdallah , Alsmairat Aya , Al Bashir Samir , Alfaqih Mahmoud , Kheirallah Khalid

Background: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men worldwide. A marker of poor survival in prostate cancer patients is the loss of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN (phosphoinositide-3-phosphatase). Deletion of PTEN occurs in approximately 40% of prostate cancer patients, and is associated with early biochemical recurrence, metastatic potential, and androgen-independence. Androgen-deprivation-therapy (ADT) remains the princip...
