Anatomy and physiology. The male reproductive system.
The male reproductive hormonal axis Maintenance of normal reproductive function is depend ent on the coordinated release of hormones in the hyp o thalamic−pituitary−testis cascade. Gonadotropinreleasing hormone (GnRH) is released in a pulsatile pattern into the pitu itary portal blood system from neuroendocrine cells in the basal hypothalamus and acts to stimulate gonadotropes in the anter...
متن کاملSecretory, endocrine and autocrine/paracrine function of the adipocyte.
Obesity is a major public health problem in Western countries, and >55% of adult Americans are overweight or obese. A major contributor to the epidemic of obesity is the current environment, which is characterized by increased availability of high energy foods and decreased physical activity. Several studies also demonstrated that genetic susceptibility contributes to obesity in some population...
متن کاملMale Reproductive System — Anatomy and Physiology 1
Basic understanding of the male reproductive system is fundamental in effective evaluation and treatment of male infertility. This chapter is a concise introduction to the male reproductive anatomy and the intricately designed process of spermatogenesis along with its hormonal control.
متن کاملGenetic, Endocrine and Paracrine/Autocrine Aspects of Porcine Adipocyte Differentiation
An extracellular matrix surface enhances s-v cell proliferation and inhibits preadipocyte differentiation. Dexamethasone, however, can induce preadipocyte differentiation in cultures in ECM dishes. The mechanism(s) of the ECM inhibitory influence need to be elucidated. TGF-P inhibits and IGF-1 enhances preadipocyte differentiation but both growth factors enhance s-v cell profliferation. The fun...
متن کاملAdiponectin Action: A Combination of Endocrine and Autocrine/Paracrine Effects
The widespread physiological actions of adiponectin have now been well characterized as clinical studies and works in animal models have established strong correlations between circulating adiponectin level and various disease-related outcomes. Thus, conventional thinking attributes many of adiponectin's beneficial effects to endocrine actions of adipose-derived adiponectin. However, it is now ...
