SERUM LEVELS OF PROLACTIN, THYROTROPIN, THYROID HORMONES, TRH RESPONSIVENESS, AND MALE REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION IN INTERMITTENT ISLAMIC FASTING

During the Islamic lunar month of Ramadan millions of Muslims abstain from drinking and eating from dawn to sunset. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of intermittent Islamic fasting on reproductive function, hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and the peripheral metabolism of thyroid hormones in men. We measured serum levels of FSH, LH, testosterone, prolactin, TSH,...

Thyroid hormones and male reproductive system

Experimental hypothyroidism during sexual development Testes size and number of spermatozoa in adulthood are determined by postnatal/pubertal proliferation of seminal tubule somatic cell constituents, the Sertoli cells. Cessation of proliferation of Sertoli cells during early development occurs concomitantly with formation of their terminally differentiated population. Transient experimental hy...
