Longitudinal assessment of circulating insulin-like peptide 3 levels in healthy peripubertal girls (2014)
Journal Article

Objective: To elucidate the natural course of circulating insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) levels according to puberty as well as its relation to other reproductive hormones. Design: Population-based cohort study. Setting: Not applicable. Patient(s)... Read More about Longitudinal assessment of circulating insulin-like peptide 3 levels in healthy peripubertal girls.

Amniotic fluid phthalate levels and male fetal gonad function (2014)
Journal Article

Background: Prenatal exposure to phthalates may pose a threat to human male reproduction. However, additional knowledge about the in vivo effect in humans is needed, and reported associations with genital abnormalities are inconclusive. We aimed to s...

Cryptorchidism in the orl rat is associated with muscle patterning defects in the fetal gubernaculum and altered hormonal signaling (2014)
Journal Article

Cryptorchidism in the orl rat is associated with muscle patterning defects in the fetal gubernaculum and altered hormonal signaling (2014)
Journal Article

Cryptorchidism, or undescended testis, is a common male genital anomaly of unclear etiology. Hormonal stimulation of the developing fetal gubernaculum by testicular androgens and insulin-like 3 (INSL3) is required for testicular descent. In studies o...

Insulin-like factor 3 and the HPG axis in the male (2014)
Journal Article

The hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis comprises pulsatile GnRH from the hypothalamus impacting on the anterior pituitary to induce expression and release of both LH and FSH into the circulation. These in turn stimulate receptors on testicular... Read More about Insulin-like factor 3 and the HPG axis in the male.

Serum levels of insulin-like factor 3, anti-Müllerian hormone, inhibin B, and testosterone during pubertal transition in healthy boys: a longitudinal pilot study (2014)
Journal Article

Insulin-like factor 3 (INSL3) is a promising marker of Leydig cell function with potentially high clinical relevance. Limited data of INSL3 levels in relation to other reproductive hormones in healthy pubertal boys exist. In this study, we aimed to e...
