Maternal exposure to tris (2-butoxyethyl) phosphate induces F0 female reproductive toxicity and offspring developmental toxicity in zebrafish by Anqi Dong, Wenqian Lei, Weiqi Zhou, Wenwen Li, Jianghua Wang

“…The observed impacts on the F0 generation were linked to a marked decrease in 17β-estradiol concentrations and disruptions in the gene expression patterns along the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal-liver (HPGL) axis. Moreover, the accumulation of TBOEP in F0 and their embryos (F1) was observed, indicating significant maternal transfer of TBOEP to the offspring. …”

Variability in Morphological Traits and Nutritional Profiles of Adult <i>Eriocheir sinensis</i> in Different Aquacultural Regions by Wenrong Feng, Qinghong He, Jianlin Li, Jun Zhou, Guoan Hua, Yuanfeng Xu, Gang Jiang, Yongkai Tang

“…The analysis of fatty acid contents revealed that muscles were rich in PUFAs, whereas MUFAs were dominant in the hepatopancreas and gonads. The fatty acid levels were significantly higher in ovaries than in testes, notably in the HZ (Huzhou in Zhejiang province), EZ (Ezhou in Hubei province), YY, and JX groups. …”

Effect of VPAC1 Blockade on Adipose Tissue Formation and Composition in Mouse Models of Nutritionally Induced Obesity by H. Roger Lijnen, Kathleen Freson, Marc F. Hoylaerts

“…Administration of MAb 23A11 (25 mg/kg body weight i.p. twice weekly) to 5-week old male C57Bl/6 mice kept on a high-fat diet for 15 weeks had no significant effect on weight gain, nor on subcutaneous (SC) or gonadal (GON) adipose tissue mass, as compared to the control MAb 1C8. …”

Sexual Well-Being in Adult Male Patients with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia by Bogna Dudzińska, Jonas Leubner, Manfred Ventz, Marcus Quinkler

“…Men with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency show impaired fecundity due to testicular adrenal rest tumors and/or suppression of the gonadal axis. Sexual well-being might be an additional factor; however, no data exists. …”

SHOX and sex difference in height: a hypothesis by Tsutomu Ogata, Atsushi Hattori, Maki Fukami

“…In this regard, previous studies have revealed that (1) distribution of the mean adult heights in subjects with disorders accompanied by discordance between sex chromosome complement and bioactive sex steroids and in control subjects (the British height standards) indicates that, of the ~12.5 cm of sex difference in the mean adult height, ~9 cm is accounted for by the difference in the sex chromosome complement and the remaining ~3.5 cm is explained by the dimorphism in sex steroids (primarily due to the growth-promoting effect of gonadal androgens); (2) according to the infancy-childhood-puberty growth model, the sex difference in the childhood growth function produces height differences of ~1 cm in childhood and 8–10 cm at 18–20 years of age, whereas the sex difference in the pubertal growth function yields height difference of ~4.5 cm at 18–20 years of age; and (3) SHOX expression and methylation analyses using knee cartilage tissues and cultured chondrocytes have shown lower SHOX expression levels in female samples than in male samples and methylation patterns consistent with partial spreading of X-inactivation affecting SHOX in female samples. …”

Adolescent and adult mice use both incremental reinforcement learning and short term memory when learning concurrent stimulus-action associations. by Juliana Chase, Liyu Xia, Lung-Hao Tai, Wan Chen Lin, Anne G E Collins, Linda Wilbrecht

“…However, reliance on a one-back perseverative, win-stay strategy increased with development in males in both odor set sizes, but was not dependent on gonadal hormones. Our findings advance a simple conditional associative learning task and new models to enable the isolation and quantification of reinforcement learning alongside other strategies mice use while learning to associate stimuli with rewards within a single behavioral session. …”

Association between Late Manifestations of Testicular Dysgenesis Syndrome and Anogenital Distance: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis by Carolina Arissa Tsutida, Ana Carolina Bernard Veiga, Anderson Joel Martino-Andrade, Diancarlos Pereira de Andrade, Rosiane Guetter Mello, Juliane Centeno Müller

“…Background: In 2001, Skakkebæk et al. proposed that certain male reproductive disorders might be grouped into a syndrome called testicular dysgenesis syndrome (TDS), as they all appear to be associated with disruption of the embryonic and foetal programming of gonadal development. TDS may be manifested in early life by the presence of genital malformations (hypospadias and cryptorchidism) and in adult life as disorders represented by low sperm counts and testicular cancer. …”
