Article Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effect of testosterone on the status of burnout and job satisfaction.

Methods: The prospective study was conducted at the Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Education and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey, from April 1 to May 1, 2019, and comprised all female employees working in the emergency department. Data was collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale. Blood samples 5 cc were taken to measure the testosterone hormone level. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.

Results: There were 95 females with a mean age of 33.6±7.1 years (range: 18-53 years). The level of exhaustion was high in 64(67.3%) subjects, intermediate in 20(21%) and low in 11(11.5%). the difference among the groups in relation to testosterone levels was significant (p<0.05). Though the difference in testosterone levels in the groups in terms of job satisfaction was also noted, it was not statistically significant (p>0.05).

Conclusions: Hormone levels released from endocrine systems were found to be affected by psychosocial factors.

Background: Male infertility is a global health issue, with pharmaceutical agents such as cimetidine contributing significantly to gonadotoxicity through antiandrogenic and oxidative mechanisms. The search for natural protective agents has highlighted var. (collard greens) for its antioxidant and endocrine-modulating properties.

Mumps virus infection triggers early pro-inflammatory responses and impairs Leydig and Sertoli cell function in an ex vivo human testis model.

Study Question: What is the direct effect of mumps virus (MuV) replication within the human testis on the tissue innate immune responses and testicular cell functions?

Summary Answer: MuV induces an early pro-inflammatory response in the human testis ex vivo and infects both Leydig cells and Sertoli cells, which drastically alters testosterone and inhibin B production.

What Is Known Already: Despite widespread vaccination efforts, orchitis remains a significant complication of MuV infection, especially in young men, which potentially results in infertility in up to 87% of patients with bilateral orchitis. Our understanding of MuV pathogenesis in the human testis has been limited by the lack of relevant animal models, impairing the development of effective treatments.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine-metabolic disorder characterized by ovarian dysfunction, with limited effective treatments. This study investigates the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of white kidney bean extract (WKBE) in a PCOS rat model. A PCOS model was established using letrozole, followed by intervention with varying doses of WKBE.

Progestogens and androgens influence root morphology of angiosperms in a brassinosteroid-independent manner.

Plant Physiology, Matthias Schleiden Institute for Genetics, Bioinformatics and Molecular Botany, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, 07743, Jena, Germany.

Progestogens and androgens are steroids found in a wide range of plants, but little is known about their physiological functions. In this study, we sowed seeds of angiosperms on progestogen- and androgen-containing medium and analysed their morphological effects. We further investigated the effects of progesterone and testosterone on brassinosteroid profiles and gene expression in A.

BackgroundWe explored the potential impact of testosterone treatment in a male rat model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our study focused on evaluating the potential decrease in the expression and activation of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) induced by COPD.MethodsWistar rats were randomly assigned to one of three groups: control, COPD, or testosterone treatment.
