oligospermia/triglyceride

Does the deletion of adipose triglyceride lipase (Atgl) gene impair male fertility? The deletion of Atgl gene impaired male fertility but the effect was partially reversed by a low long-chain triglyceride (TG) diet. ATGL specifically hydrolyses long-chain fatty acid TG to diacylglycerol and a high

Cholesterol and lipid homeostasis is important for male fecundity. However, the plasma total cholesterol level does not reflect sperm concentration and motility. Adipose tissue in mammals is the main tissue contributing to the dynamic equilibrium of lipid synthesis and catabolism. However, recent

This prospective case-control study aimed to test the presence of insulin resistance (IR) in men with unexplained infertility. We included two groups: the study group including 160 infertile men with unexplained oligozoospermia (sperm count <10 × 106/ml) and normal hormonal profile, and the control

OBJECTIVE To review the clinical and genetic features of a pedigree of Kennedy disease in China. METHODS The clinical data of patients from a Kennedy disease family were collected. The numbers of trinucleotide CAG repeats in exon 1 of the androgen receptor gene were determined by DNA sequencing and

Twelve Brazilian men were treated with gossypol for 1 year. The treatment schedule consisted of oral administration of 20 mg gossypol daily for 4 months, followed by a maintenance dose of 20 mg on alternate days (3 days a week), totaling 60 mg weekly for 8 months. Ten men became azoospermic at the
