Aquaporins in the male reproductive system: A chance for paternity or a road to nowhere?
AbstractAquaporins —small, “unusual” proteins, whose discovery revolutionized the view of membrane transport of water and other small molecules, are essential for all living organisms. Aquaporins located in the male reproductive system seem to play a key role in the proper course of many processes occurring with in it, thus maintaining a high reproductive potential.

Autologous sperm usage after cryopreservation —the crucial impact of patients’ characteristics
Discussion and conclusionAfter decades of cryopreservation, the paradigm of sperm cryopreservation is mostly related to cancer patients. This should be reevaluated and evolve to include broader patient-targeted factors and perceptions. (Source: Andrology)

Effect of antioxidants on semen parameters in men with oligo ‐astheno‐teratozoospermia: a network meta‐analysis
AbstractBackgroundAlthough antioxidants are largely used in subfertile men with oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia (OAT), the choice among different molecules is challenged by the lack of comparative head-to-head studies. The network meta-analysis (NMA) can overcome limitations of pairwise meta-analyses, since it incorporates direct and indirect evidence into a single model generating an effectiveness hierarchy.ObjectiveTo assess with a NMA the effects of antioxidants in improving seminal parameters in idiopathic OAT.Materials and methodsPubMed, Scopus, Cinahl, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for randomized contro...

The impact of acute SARS ‐CoV‐2 on testicular function including insulin‐like factor 3 (INSL3) in men with mild COVID‐19: A longitudinal study
This study showed a reduction in testicular function, which was for the first time confirmed by INSL3, in men mildly affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. The risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 RNA via semen seems to be low. Febrile episodes may impact testicular function, but a direct effect of SARS-CoV-2 cannot be excluded. (Source: Andrology)

Low testosterone at age 31 associates with maternal obesity and higher body mass index from childhood until age 46: A birth cohort study
ConclusionsIn men, maternal obesity and early weight gain associate with lower T levels at age 31, independently of adulthood abdominal obesity. Given the well-known health risks related to obesity, and the rising prevalence of maternal obesity, the results of the present study emphasize the importance of preventing obesity that may also affect the later reproductive health of the offspring.

Mid ‐term outcomes of minimally invasive infrapubic approach for inflatable penile prosthesis implantation: A single‐centre study and literature review
ConclusionThis study represents the longest follow-up using validated tools to assess the outcomes of IPP implantation via MIIA so far. IPP placement via MIIA confirms to be safe and to offer high satisfaction to both patients and partners at mid-term evaluation.This article is protected by copyright.

A 10 ‐year experience in testicular tissue cryopreservation for boys under 18 years of age: What can be learned from 350 cases?
ConclusionThis large series of pediatric FP shows that this procedure is well accepted, feasible, and safe in the short term, strengthening its place in the clinical care pathway of young patients requiring a highly gonadotoxic treatment. Our results demonstrate that CTT post-chemotherapy does not impair the chance to preserve spermatogonia in the testicular tissue except when the treatment includes alkylating agents. More data on post-CTT follow-up are still required to ensure the long-term safety and usefulness of the procedure.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved (Source: Andrology)
