Anogenital Distance in Turkish Newborns
We have measured anogenital distance (AGD) in 300 newborns delivered in Zubeyde Hanim Maternity Hospital in 2007. As in the study by Ozkan et al (1), we also used a sliding caliper for the measurements; however, in the manuscript by Ozkan et al (1), it was mentioned as tape, which needs correction. The results of both Dr Ozkan’s study and ours seem similar. We could not give the results of meas...
متن کاملAnogenital Distance in Turkish Newborns
OBJECTIVE Anogenital distances are considered to be a sensitive indicator of external genitalia exposure to factors such as anti-androgens, and/or endocrine distruptors during the prenatal period. Exposure to such factors can lead to changes in the anogenital measurements (AGM) of newborn infants. These measurements can be used to predict masculinization of the external genitalia in healthy new...
متن کاملAnogenital Distance from Birth to 2 Years: a Population Study
BACKGROUND Anogenital distance (AGD) is sexually dimorphic in rodents and humans, being 2- to 2.5-fold greater in males. It is a reliable marker of androgen and antiandrogen effects in rodent reproductive toxicologic studies. Data on AGD in humans are sparse, with no longitudinal data collected during infancy. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to determine AGD from birth to 2 years in males a...
متن کاملAnogenital distance and the risk of prostate cancer.
UNLABELLED Study Type - Prognosis (cohort) Level of Evidence 2b What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? In animals, anogenital distance has been shown to be related to the action of fetal androgens, and exposure to chemicals such as dioxins that exhibit antiandrogenic activity results in shorter distances in male rats. In studies conducted in children, anogenital distance has ...
متن کاملPrenatal Phthalate Exposures and Anogenital Distance in Swedish Boys
BACKGROUND Phthalates are used as plasticizers in soft polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and in a large number of consumer products. Because of reported health risks, diisononyl phthalate (DiNP) has been introduced as a replacement for di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) in soft PVC. This raises concerns because animal data suggest that DiNP may have antiandrogenic properties similar to those of DEHP. The...
