Body mass index and sperm quality: effects of overweight and underweight
(IVIRMA Global, IVIRMA Global, 2013)
We previously reported a negative association between body mass index (BMI) and sperm motility and seminal alpha-glucosidase concentrations (NAG), suggesting that epididymis may be a target organ for weight-linked alterations. ...
Role of ghrelin on nitric oxide secretion and implantation in mice
(2013)
During pregnancy maternal a Ghrelin (Ghr) concentration increases significantly, suggesting an important role of the peptide on the process. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the role of Ghr on implantation ...
Combined effects of obesity, alcohol and smoking habit on semen quality of 2483 men attending an andrology clinic
(IVIRMA Global, IVIRMA Global, 2013)
Several factors have been identified as detrimental for sperm physiology (i.e. tobacco, alcohol, obesity, endocrine disruptors, etc); however, none of them can justify seminal decline by itself.
Therefore, the objective ...
In vitro modifications on functional activity of mice sperm induced by the addition of ghrelinModificaciones inducidas in vitro por ghrelina sobre la actividad funcional espermática murina.
(Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas, 2013)
Ghrelin (Ghr) is a peptide that modulates reproductive physiology, linking reproduction with energy balance. The expression of the peptide and its receptor has been reported in testis, prostate and sperm; the presence of ...
Intrahipotalamic ghrelin administration decreases sperm concentration and motility in mice
(Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, 2013)
Ghrelin (Ghr) is a peptide secreted primarily in the stomach and hypothalamus. However, Ghr and its receptors are synthesized also in many tissues of the reproductive tract. In situations of hiperghrelinemia (fasting or ...
