I have read with great interest the article of Ozguner et al.1 The authors reported the biological and morphological effects resulting from 900 MHz radiofrequency electromagnetic field (EMF) on the reproductive organ of adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. They reported that there was a significant decrease in serum total testosterone level, and an insignificant decrease in plasma leuteinizing hormo...

There are well-known sex differences in the epidemiology and etiopathology of alcohol dependence. Male gender is a crucial risk factor for the onset of alcohol addiction. A directly modifying role of testosterone in alcohol addiction-related behavior is well established. Sex hormones exert both permanent (organizational) and transient (activational) effects on the human brain. The sensitive per...

Transsexuals experience themselves as being of the opposite sex, despite having the biological characteristics of one sex. A crucial question resulting from a previous brain study in male-to-female transsexuals was whether the reported difference according to gender identity in the central part of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BSTc) was based on a neuronal difference in the BSTc itse...

The fundamental target of the present survey is to explore clinical impact resveratrol in treating polycystic ovary syndrome. A number 104 cases suffering from syndrome admitted hospital January 2018 December 2020 were chosen as investigation subjects. categorized into two groups, namely control and study groups through random table technique, with 52 patients each group. Patients group conside...

Hormonal levels are the hallmark for assessment of testicular function in XY DSD (Disorders sex development). Traditionally, it has relied on testosterone level increment after hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) stimulation testing. More recently role Sertoli cell hormones is more emphasized. Objectives: Evaluating serum anti-mullerian hormone and inhibin B pre-pubertal testis without need test...

• Urinary sex-steroids reflected seasonal reproductive patterns at population-level. Individual male plasma and urinary testosterone levels correlated across seasons. No correlation was found between individual female oestrogen . Only correlations population level were for oestrogen. Due to their unique physiology behaviour, European badgers ( Meles meles ) are often used as a model study mamma...

  Background :Reproductive endocrine disorders and sexual dysfunction are common among men with epilepsy. We investigated sexual hormone serum levels among men with newly diagnosed epilepsy, before starting any antiepileptic drug (AED), and then after starting carbamazepine (CBZ), to determine the role and effects of epilepsy versus CBZ in creating reproductive endocrine disorders.   Methods : ...

This paper reviews the mechanism of sex hormone actions on the thymus, presenting mainly our data obtained at the cellular and molecular levels. First, data supporting the "genomic" action via the nuclear sex hormone receptor complexes are as follows: 1) sex hormone receptors and the thymic factor (thymulin) are co-localized in thymic epithelial cells, but not in T cells; 2) production/expressi...
