Journal Article
Anand-Ivell, R., Ivell, R., Laakso, S., Viljakainen, H., Lipsanen-Nyman, M., Turpeinen, U., …Mäkitie, O. (2018). Testicular function and bone in young men with severe childhood-onset obesity. Hormone Research in Paediatrics, 89(6), 442–449. https://doi.org/10.1159/000489818

Background: Previous studies suggest increased risk for hypoandrogenism and fractures in men with obesity. We aimed to describe the effects of severe childhood-onset obesity on the cross talk between metabolic state, testes and skeleton at late puber...

Development and validation of a mass spectrometry-based assay for quantification of insulin-like factor 3 in human serum. Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 56(11), https://doi.org/10.1515/cclm-2018-0171

BACKGROUND: The circulating level of the peptide hormone insulin-like factor 3 (INSL3) is a promising diagnostic marker reflecting Leydig cell function in the male. Few commercial immunoassays of varying quality exist. Therefore, we decided to devel...

Amniotic fluid INSL3 measured during the critical time window in human pregnancy relates to cryptorchidism, hypospadias and phthalate load: a large case-control study (2018)
Journal Article
Anand-Ivell, R., Cohen, A., Norgaard-Pedersen, B., Joenssen, B., Bonde, J., Hougaard, D. M., …Ivell, R. (2018). Amniotic fluid INSL3 measured during the critical time window in human pregnancy relates to cryptorchidism, hypospadias and phthalate load: a large case-control study. Frontiers in Physiology, 9, Article 408. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2018.00406

The period of the first to second trimester transition in human pregnancy represents a sensitive window for fetal organogenesis, particularly in regard to the development of the male reproductive system. This is a time of relative analytical inaccess...
