TL;DR

This study aimed to evaluate the association between seminal plasma kisspeptin levels and male infertility, and to examine their relationships with semen parameters and oxidative stress markers.

Abstract

Kisspeptin‐1 and Kisspeptin‐54 are key regulators of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis and may play a role in male reproductive function. This study aimed to evaluate the association between seminal plasma kisspeptin levels and male infertility, and to examine their relationships with semen parameters and oxidative stress markers.

The Role and Mechanism of Incretins in Gynaecologic Diseases

Obesity is a major global public health concern closely linked to the development and progression of various gynaecological disorders, particularly polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometrial cancer. Incretins, a group of gut‐derived hormones primarily including glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) and glucose‐dependen...

The Impact of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists on Semen Parameters and the Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Gonadal Axis in Men with Obesity — A Literature Review

Background. Rising global obesity prevalence has coincided with a debated decline in semen quality. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are now widely used for weight reduction in men of reproductive age, raising questions about their effect on fertility, particularly relative to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT),...

Implications of GLP-1 receptor agonists for the fertility of women with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome.

Women with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) represent a particularly challenging patient population, characterized by the convergence of reproductive dysfunction, obesity, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. The emergence of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) offers a transfor...

Approach to evaluation of sex hormones, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and oxidative stress biomarkers in female infertility

Background. A combination of sex hormones, pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress mar­kers is associated with female infertility, affect reproductive function and is responsible for poor fertility outcomes. The purpose was to evaluate a broad spectrum of sex hormones, pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative s...

Irisin as a metabolic regulator of male reproduction.

Obesity and metabolic syndrome are major contributors to male infertility. These conditions disrupt the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and compromise testicular steroidogenesis and spermatogenesis through mechanisms that include altered aromatase activity, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and oxidat...
