Context: Thyroid hormones have a dramatic effect on human behavior. However, their role sexual behavior and performance has seldom been investigated in men. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence dysfunctions patients with hyper- hypothyroidism resolution after normalization thyroid hormone levels. Design Setting: We conducted multicenter prospective at endocrinology andrology clinics university hospitals. Patients: included 48 adult men, 34 hyperthyroidism 14...
The COVID-19-related lockdown has profoundly changed human behaviors and habits, impairing general psychological well-being. Along with psychosocial consequences, it is possible that sexual behavior was also affected.With the present study, we evaluated impact of community-wide containment consequent social distancing on intrapsychic, relational, health through standardized psychometric tools.A case-control study performed a web-based survey comparing subjects both genders (group A, N =...
By real-time RT-PCR and Western blot analysis, we found that phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) mRNA protein abundance was several fold higher in human male than female reproductive tracts. The highest level (>1 x 10(7) molecules/microg total RNA) detected corpora cavernosa (CC), where PDE5 immunolocalized both muscular endothelial compartment. possible role of androgens regulating expression studied using a previously established rabbit model hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. In this model,...
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) degradation of extracellular matrix is thought to play an important role in invasion, angiogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis. Several studies have demonstrated that CD147/ MMP inducer, a membrane-spanning molecule highly expressed cells, may be involved the progression malignancies by regulating expression peritumoral stromal cells. In present study we show CD147 microvesicles derived from epithelial ovarian cancer cells CD147-positive vesicles promote...
Male mice lacking expression of Plzf, a DNA sequence-specific transcriptional repressor, show progressive germ cell depletion due to exhaustion the spermatogonial stem population. This is likely deregulated genes controlling switch between self-renewal and differentiation. Here we that Plzf directly represses transcription kit, hallmark both endogenous kit reporter gene under control promoter region. A discrete sequence promoter, required for Plzf-mediated repression, bound by in vivo vitro....
