摘要
本比较横断面研究旨在评估也门可育和特发性不育男性血清瘦素和睾酮、卵泡刺激素、黄体生成素、促生成素和精液质量之间的关系。共有30名原因不明的不育男性和30名年龄匹配的健康有生育能力的男性参加了这项研究。测量体重指数(BMI)和腰围(WC)。精液样本根据世卫组织精液分析手册进行分析。对血清样本进行激素检测。然后，研究对象被分成亚组，并根据他们的主要开创性发现进行比较。WC、血清瘦素、PRL、FSH和LH水平显著升高(p p p p p p p)
Serum leptin correlates in fertile and idiopathic infertile Yemeni males: a comparative cross-sectional study.
This comparative cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum leptin and testosterone, FSH, LH, PRL and semen quality in fertile and idiopathic infertile Yemeni men. A total of 30 infertile males with unknown causes and 30 age-matched healthy fertile males were enrolled in this study. The body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) were measured. Semen samples were analyzed according to the WHO manual for semen analysis. Serum samples were tested for hormones. Subjects were then divided into subgroups and compared based on their main seminal findings. The WC, serum leptin, PRL, FSH and LH levels were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the infertile subjects than in the fertile group. Serum leptin demonstrated a significant positive correlation (p < 0.01) with body weight, BMI and WC in fertile males and a significant negative correlation (p < 0.01) with testosterone in fertile and infertile males. Similarly, a significant positive correlation was found between serum leptin and FSH (p < 0.01) and LH (p < 0.05) levels in the infertile subjects. The findings showed that non-obstructive azoospermic (NOA) patients have significant (p < 0.05) high levels of serum leptin, FSH, and LH. These findings may support the possibility of a direct peripheral negative effect of leptin on testicular steroidogenesis independent of the suggested indirect effect, and it could directly impact spermatogenesis without inhibiting testosterone production. This effect was accompanied by increasing serum PRL levels. Furthermore, serum leptin and gonadotropins were found to be increased in the idiopathic NOA group. The present study provided valuable insights into the fertile and idiopathic infertile Yemeni males and could establish an important foundation for future andrological-related studies such as investigating the relationship between leptin and other hormones; and infertility-related genetic and epigenetic factors.
期刊介绍：
Systems Biology in Reproductive Medicine, SBiRM, publishes Research Articles, Communications, Applications Notes that include protocols a Clinical Corner that includes case reports, Review Articles and Hypotheses and Letters to the Editor on human and animal reproduction. The journal will highlight the use of systems approaches including genomic, cellular, proteomic, metabolomic, bioinformatic, molecular, and biochemical, to address fundamental questions in reproductive biology, reproductive medicine, and translational research. The journal publishes research involving human and animal gametes, stem cells, developmental biology and toxicology, and clinical care in reproductive medicine. Specific areas of interest to the journal include: male factor infertility and germ cell biology, reproductive technologies (gamete micro-manipulation and cryopreservation, in vitro fertilization/embryo transfer (IVF/ET) and contraception. Research that is directed towards developing new or enhanced technologies for clinical medicine or scientific research in reproduction is of significant interest to the journal.
