OBJECTIVE In the pathogenesis of sub-fertility/infertility and testicular cancer related to undescended testes, oxidative stress, inflammation and autoimmunity are important factors. Therefore, the present study was designed to determine serum oxidative stress markers and carbonic anhydrase (CA) II

Undescended testis (UDT) is a common urological disorder. Patients with UDT have a risk of malignancy and infertility. The development of these conditions may be due to oxidative stress mediated by reactive oxygen species. The aim of this study was to investigate the

We have previously shown that testicular fluid contains factors that can inhibit luteinizing hormone (LH)-stimulated androgen production by Leydig cells, and others have reported the presence of immunoreactive vasopressin (iAVP) in the testes as well as in vitro inhibition by vasopressin of Leydig

A case-control study was conducted to assess maternal hormonal factors associated with increased risk of bearing a cryptorchid son. Serum samples were collected during the first trimester of pregnancy from participants in the US Collaborative Perinatal Study. Twenty-five mothers of normal offspring

OBJECTIVE To study the clinical and pathological features of Denys-Drash syndrome (DDS). METHODS Three DDS cases who were treated in our department from December 2009 to June 2011 were subjected to this study by reviewing of literature. RESULTS Both case 1 and case 2 were female, with karyotype 46,

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the histochemical characteristics of the thickened inner acellular layer (IL) of the lamina propria specifically present in the human seminiferous tubules of testes showing impaired spermatogenesis. METHODS Eighteen biopsies for the investigation of
