SLC38A2 promotes cell proliferation and invasion by promoting glutamine metabolism in adenomyosis
Exp Ther Med. 2024 Mar 21;27(5):218. doi: 10.3892/etm.2024.12506. eCollection 2024 May.ABSTRACTAdenomyosis is a benign uterine disorder that is associated with female infertility, a reduced clinical pregnancy rate and a high risk of miscarriage. Solute carrier family 38 member a2 (SLC38A2) is a glutamine (Gln) transporter that serves roles in various medical conditions. The present study aimed to reveal the role of SLC38A2 in adenomyosis. The mRNA expression levels of SLC38A2 in eutopic endometrial (EU) and ectopic endometrial (EC) tissues from adenomyotic patients were examined by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. E...

Obesity and male fertility disorders
Mol Aspects Med. 2024 Apr 8;97:101273. doi: 10.1016/j.mam.2024.101273. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOften associated with obesity, male infertility represents a widespread condition that challenges the wellbeing of the couple. In this article, we provide a comprehensive and critical analysis of studies exploring the association between obesity and male reproductive function, to evaluate the frequency of this association, and establish the effects of increased body weight on conventional and biofunctional sperm parameters and infertility. In an attempt to find possible molecular markers of infertility in obese male patient...

Who shares fake news on social media? Evidence from vaccines and infertility claims in sub-Saharan Africa
by Kerstin Unfried, Jan Priebe
The widespread dissemination of misinformation on social media is a serious threat to global health. To a large extent, it is still unclear who actually shares health-related misinformation deliberately and accidentally. We conducted a large-scale online survey among 5,307 Facebook users in six su b-Saharan African countries, in which we collected information on sharing of fake news and truth discernment. We estimate the magnitude and determinants of deliberate and accidental sharing of misinformation related to three vaccines (HPV, polio, and COVID-19). In an OLS framework we relate the act...

"Denied the Joys of Motherhood": Infertility and Medicine in French Interwar Advice Columns
This article explores how physicians leading new specialized fertility clinics promoted the idea that their work treating infertility medically would produce more births for France. It also shows how women's magazines in the 1930s presented new treatment options to their female readership, offering them reassurance and medical advice. Women wrote into advice columns about their experiences with involuntary childlessness, sometimes expressing reluctance to seek fertility testing or continue recommended treatments. Prominent fertility specialists also contributed articles, complete with illustrations, explaining the medical ...

Combination of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and moxibustion restores cyclophosphamide-induced premature ovarian insufficiency by improving mitochondrial function and regulating mitophagy
CONCLUSIONS: Moxibustion enhanced the migration and homing of BMSCs following transplantation and improves their ability to repair ovarian damage. The combination of BMSCs and moxibustion effectively reduced the excessive activation of mitophagy, which helped prevent mitochondrial damage, ultimately improving ovarian function. These findings provide a novel approach for the treatment of pathological ovarian aging and offer new insights into enhancing the efficacy of stem cell therapy for POI patients.PMID:38589967 | DOI:10.1186/s13287-024-03709-0 (Source: Cell Research)

Effects of Zinc Combined with Metformin on Zinc Homeostasis, Blood-Epididymal Barrier, and Epididymal Absorption in Male Diabetic Mice
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Apr 8. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04171-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiabetes increases the likelihood of germ cell damage, hypogonadism, and male infertility. Diabetes leads to lower zinc (Zn) levels, an important micronutrient for maintaining male fertility, and zinc deficiency can lead to decreased male fertility through multiple mechanisms. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of combined metformin and zinc administration on epididymis in diabetic mice; 10 of 50 male mice were randomly selected as the control group (group C), and the remaining 40 mice were randomly divided into...
