Hypothesis: kisspeptin mediates male hypogonadism in obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Hypogonadism occurs commonly in men with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and severe obesity. Current evidence points to a decreased secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus and thereby decreased secretion of gonadotropins from the pituitary gland as a central feature of the pathophysiology in these men. Hyperglycaemia, inflammation, leptin and oestrogen-related feedback h...
متن کاملIsolated cryptorchidism: no evidence for involvement of genes underlying isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.
Mutations in FGFR1, GNRHR, PROK2, PROKR2, TAC3, or TACR3 underlie isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) with clinically variable phenotypes, and, by causing incomplete intrauterine activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, may lead to cryptorchidism. To investigate the role of defects in these genes in the etiology of isolated cryptorchidism, we screened coding exons and exo...
متن کاملInm-4: Genetic Aspects of Male and Female Infertility
Genetic causes can be directly responsible for various clinical conditions of male and female infertility and genetic variability may affect the ability to reproduce. This review aims to summarize current research on genetic diagnosis and genetic causes of reproductive disorders. Chromosome abnormalities account for 60% of all spontaneous abortions, and the most common type, trisomy, is closely...
متن کاملSpreading the Clinical Window for Diagnosing Fetal-Onset Hypogonadism in Boys
In early fetal development, the testis secretes - independent of pituitary gonadotropins - androgens and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) that are essential for male sex differentiation. In the second half of fetal life, the hypothalamic-pituitary axis gains control of testicular hormone secretion. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) controls Sertoli cell proliferation, responsible for testis volume...
متن کاملCongenital idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism: evidence of defects in the hypothalamus, pituitary, and testes.
CONTEXT Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) with normal smell (normosmic IHH) or anosmia (Kallmann syndrome) is associated with defects in the production or action of GnRH. Accordingly, most IHH patients respond to physiological pulsatile GnRH replacement by normalizing serum LH, FSH, and testosterone (T) levels and achieving gametogenesis; some patients, however, show atypical respo...
