Significance We report the development and characterization of a first-in-class humanized antibody to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). have shown previously that blocking FSH action on its receptor increases bone mass, reduces body fat, enhances energy expenditure. Furthermore, has been reported increase serum cholesterol. Therefore, an anti-FSH agent potential preventing treating obesity, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolemia, diseases affect millions women men worldwide. Our study provides...
The primitive neurohypophyseal nonapeptide oxytocin (OXT) has established functions in parturition, lactation, appetite, and social behavior. We have shown that OXT direct actions on the mammalian skeleton, stimulating bone formation by osteoblasts modulating genesis function of bone-resorbing osteoclasts. deleted receptors (OXTRs) selectively osteoclasts using Col2.3Cre Acp5Cre mice, respectively. Both male female Col2.3Cre+:Oxtrfl/fl mice recapitulate low-bone mass phenotype Oxtr+/-...
Pharmacological and genetic studies over the past decade have established follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) as an actionable target for diseases affecting millions, namely osteoporosis, obesity, Alzheimer's disease. Blocking FSH action prevents bone loss, fat gain, neurodegeneration in mice. We recently developed a first-in-class, humanized, epitope-specific FSH-blocking antibody, MS-Hu6, with K
Abstract Context Previous studies have shown that the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may vary according to race/ethnicity, although a few assessed women different ethnicities who live in similar geographic and socioeconomic conditions. Objective To determine PCOS an unselected multiethnic population premenopausal women. Design A multicenter prospective cross-sectional study. Settings The main regional employers Irkutsk Region Buryat Republic, Russia. Participants During...
Significance Tadalafil and vardenafil are among the most widely used drugs for erectile dysfunction, which affects nearly 19% of men over 20 y age. Older also suffer from age-related bone loss resulting in crippling fractures. We show that mice, both agents act on cells, formation new reduced removal old bone. Because this net gain mass, we posit tadalafil could be cotreating dysfunction osteoporosis advancing age, as well treating postmenopausal women. recommend future clinical studies to...
Abnormalities in gut microbiota diversity are considered important mechanisms metabolic disorders polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). However, the data on association of these with PCOS phenotype remain controversial. The objectives this study were to estimate alpha healthy women and patients depending phenotype. participants (184 premenopausal women: 63 PCOS, 121 without PCOS) recruited during annual employment assessment Irkutsk Region Buryat Republic (Russia) 2016-2019. For diagnosis, we...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a highly prevalent disorder in women, and its diagnosis rests on three principal features: ovulatory/menstrual dysfunction, clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism, polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM). Currently, data age- ethnicity-dependent features of PCOM remain insufficient. We aimed to estimate ethnicity- age-dependent differences volume (OV) follicle number per (FNPO) healthy, medically unbiased population Caucasian Asian premenopausal who...
Leydig cell tumors (LCTs) refer to of the stroma genital strand, which are found mainly in postmenopausal women. The diagnosis LCTs women is associated with specific difficulties and based on identification hyperandrogenism clinical manifestations virilization, has an erased picture require differential other causes hyperandrogenism. We present case a 55-year-old Russian patient right ovary, significantly increased levels androgens, rapidly progressive signs underwent laparoscopic bilateral...
Androgen assessment is a key element for diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and defining "normal" level of circulating androgens critical epidemiological studies. We determined the upper normal limits (UNLs) in population-based group premenopausal "healthy control" women, overall by ethnicity (Caucasian Asian), cross-sectional Eastern Siberia PCOS Epidemiology Phenotype (ESPEP) Study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05194384) conducted 2016-2019. Overall, we identified consisting 143...
Testosterone assessment is essential for detecting biochemical hyperandrogenism, one of the important diagnostic criteria polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) both in clinical practice and epidemiological studies. Currently, tandem liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) most preferred technique to measure testosterone level women. Its validation reproducibility androgen tests results studies prevalence PCOS. The aim study. To develop validate a method determining total blood serum...
Background. Currently more than 119 obesity-related polymorphisms is known to participate in adult obesity. One of them LEPR Q223R. Many researches shown association this polymorphism with However, the role Q223R adolescent overweight and obesity matter dispute. Aim: determine gene some biochemical hormonal measurements blood female adolescents normal weight Materials methods. A total 103 (14-17 years age) was examined. All girls were divided into 2 groups: 43 (SDS BM 10.311 ± 0.585), 65 BMI...
To identify the association between Ile105Val, Ala114Val polymorphisms of gene GSTP1 (glutathione transferase pi1) and infertility in Russian men.A total 160 infertile men reproductive age (mean 30.2+/-3.6 years) were included study group, while control group there 104 age-matched healthy fertile male 31.3+/-5.4 years). Molecular genetic studies performed using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood.A frequency genotypes (p=0.024; df=2; p=0.024)...
Background. Chronic endometritis (CE) is an inflammatory hysteropathy causing miscarriage and infertility. High invasiveness of the main method CE diagnosis vague clinical picture necessitate need for development less invasive approaches to establish presence this disease.The aim study.
