Because the cargo, composition, and function of exosomes mirror the status of the producer cell, it stands to reason that infection with HIV may influence exosome composition in a body-fluid specific manner. Indeed, exosomes from blood and semen have intriguingly shown variability in function (5,...
The bone mass density in men aged over 50 and its relation to the concentration of free and total testosterone in the blood serum.As the mean length of life increases, osteoporosis affects a growing number of men and women, thus becoming an important medical and socioeconomic problem in many...
Hypertension (HTN) or high blood pressure, sometimes arterial hypertension, is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated. This requires the heart to work harder than normal to circulate blood through the blood vessels. Blood pressure involves two ...
While estradiol is primarily known as the female sex hormone, everyone produces it—including men. It contributes to healthy sexual function, but it circulates in much smaller quantities. [3] How to measure estradiol levels An estradiol blood test—sometimes called an E2 check—can quickly tell ...
When a blood pressure reading is taken, two pressure levels are measured: systolic (the pressure during a heartbeat) and diastolic (the pressure between heartbeats). These measurements are typically recorded as one number over the other (e.g., 120/80 mmHg) with both values represented in mill...
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the most prevalent metabolic diseases presenting with systemic pathologies, including reproductive disorders in male diabetic patients. However, the molecular mechanisms that contributing to spermatogenesis dysfunction
However, when the models were further adjusted for the mean BP the association did not persist for all indices. Our findings illustrate choosing the appropriate summary measure, which accurately captures that short-term BPV is difficult. Despite discrepancies in values between the different measures, ...
and LH were determined in the blood samples of the processed female pigs. Moreover, during the research, the biochemical and haematological properties of the blood were investigated. Additionally, the fat and meat content and other properties were determined. It was observed that some of the analy...
However, most reported studies about the topic were on the basis of a single measurement of SBP but did not consider the effect of the change in SBP over time. In fact, SBP levels change over time. Neglecting the time-varying and cumulative mean value of SBP over time would result in ...
