SUBMICROSCOPIC DELETIONS OF THE Y CHROMOSOME ARE NOT LIMITED TO AZOOSPERMIC MEN, BUT ARE ALSO DETECTED IN INFERTILE MEN WITH IDIOPATHIC OLIGOZOOSPERMIA
It is now agreed that 10-25% of infertile men with azoospermia have submicroscopic deletions of the Y chromosome long ann (yq), consistent with the proposed location of the azoospermia locus (AZF) in Yq 11.23. However, it is not known whether Yq microdeletions are unique to men with azoospermia or whether they are also observed in infertile men with less severe defects of spermatogenesis (o...
متن کاملMother's tetanus immunisation is associated not only with lower neonatal mortality but also with lower early-childhood mortality.
This article examines how neonatal and early childhood mortality varies according to the tetanus immunization of the mother. This study is based on the National Family Health Survey data. Findings showed that maternal tetanus immunization during pregnancy is recognized as almost sure protection against tetanus in the mother and the newborn child. Maternal tetanus immunization is viewed as a g...
متن کاملReduced circulating sTWEAK levels are associated with metabolic syndrome in elderly individuals at high cardiovascular risk
BACKGROUND The circulating soluble TNF-like weak inducer of apoptosis (sTWEAK) is a cytokine that modulates inflammatory and atherogenic reactions related to cardiometabolic risk. We investigated the association between sTWEAK levels and metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in older subjects at high cardiovascular risk. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis of 452 non-diabetic individuals ...
متن کاملSerum lipocalin-2 levels are positively associated with not only total body fat but also visceral fat area in Chinese men
Serum lipocalin-2 (LCN2) plays an important role in the regulation of the obesity-associated dysmetabolic state and cardiovascular disease. However, relatively little is known about the relationship between serum LCN2 levels and body fat content and distribution. We examined the associations of total body fat content and abdominal fat distribution with serum LCN2 levels in Chinese men.The study...
