Sci Rep . 2022 Sep; 12(1):16016. PMID: 36163455
Concentrations of the hormone leptin, which is produced by adipose tissue, increase with increasing BMI, whereas leptin sensitivity often declines with higher BMI. Thus, altered leptin signaling may play a...

JAMA Pediatr . 2022 Jul; 176(9):895-905. PMID: 35816333
Importance: Phthalate exposure is widespread among pregnant women and may be a risk factor for preterm birth. Objective: To investigate the prospective association between urinary biomarkers of phthalates in pregnancy...

Int J Mol Sci . 2020 Mar; 21(6). PMID: 32204514
Building on our recent discovery of the zinc signature phenomenon present in boar, bull, and human spermatozoa, we have further characterized the role of zinc ions in the spermatozoa's pathway...

Andrologia . 2019 Aug; 51(10):e13407. PMID: 31448444
Although varicoceles are a widely accepted identifiable male factor in infertile couples, the benefit of varicocele repair in improving pregnancy and live birth rates remains uncertain. The Study for Future...

Zapata-Carmona H, Baron L, Zuniga L, Diaz E, Kong M, Drobnis E, et al.
Mol Hum Reprod . 2019 Jul; 25(10):587-600. PMID: 31329238
One of the first events of mammalian sperm capacitation is the activation of the soluble adenyl cyclase/cAMP/protein kinase A (SACY/cAMP/PKA) pathway. Here, we evaluated whether the increase in PKA activity...

PLoS One . 2019 May; 14(5):e0214152. PMID: 31095572
Progestin-only long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) are increasingly popular among women seeking contraception; however, recent epidemiological studies suggest that systemically administered medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) may increase HIV acquisition. In order to...

Reprod Biol Endocrinol . 2019 Feb; 17(1):26. PMID: 30795774
Background: Hormonal contraceptives, particularly depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), have been reported to be associated with substantially enhanced HIV acquisition; however, the biological mechanisms of this risk remain poorly understood. We...
