Elevated serum IGF-I, but unaltered sex steroid levels, in healthy boys with pubertal gynaecomastia.

Mieritz MG1, Sorensen K, Aksglaede L, Mouritsen A, Hagen CP, Hilsted L, Andersson AM, Juul A.Author information 1Department of Growth and Reproduction, Rigshospitalet, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.AbstractOBJECTIVE: Pubertal gynaecomastia is a very common condition. Although the underlying aetiology is poorly understood, it is generally accepted that excess of oestrogens and deficit of androgens are involved in the pathogenesis. Furthermore, adiposity as well as the GH/IGF-I axis may play a role. In this study, we elucidate the association of adiposity and levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), testosterone, oestrogen, IGF-I and IGFBP-3 with the presence of pubertal gynaecomastia in a large cohort of healthy boys.

Wild fish from the Bay of Quinte Area of Concern contain elevated tissue concentrations of PCBs and exhibit evidence of endocrine-related health effects.

Simmons DB1, McMaster ME1, Reiner EJ2, Hewitt LM1, Parrott JL1, Park BJ3, Brown SB1, Sherry JP1.Author information 1Aquatic Contaminants Research Division, Environment Canada, National Water Research Institute, Burlington, ON, Canada.2Laboratory Services Branch, Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Toronto, ON, Canada.3Freshwater Institute, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Winnipeg, MB, Canada.AbstractThe Bay of Quinte (BOQ) is an Area of Concern listed under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. The presence of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in fish in the BOQ AOC has led to restrictions on fish consumption by humans, which is a beneficial use impairment. Adult yellow perch (Perca flavescens) and brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus) were sampled from Trenton, Belleville, and Deseronto (reference site) in the BOQ. A suite of hormone assays and various measures of exposure and/or sublethal health effects were used to assess the health status of fish of both species and sex. Condition factor, hepatosomatic index, ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase activity, circulating steroid and thyroid hormones, thyroid activation, oocyte size distribution, spermatogenic cell stages, and plasma vitellogenin were among the endpoints that were significantly (p<0.05) affected by location. Many of those effects corresponded with significantly (p<0.05) greater tissue concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at Belleville and Trenton. Hepatic extracts from brown bullhead sampled from Trenton had significantly (p<0.05) greater binding activity to the androgen receptor and sex steroid binding protein. Taken together, these data and preliminary data from a concomitant study suggest that PCBs are likely being hydroxylated in vivo, resulting in enhanced bioactivity at endocrine receptors and measurable health responses. The present study supports the growing body of evidence that PCBs and their metabolites can affect fish thyroid and steroid hormone systems.

We investigated whether meat consumption was associated with semen quality parameters and reproductive hormone levels in young men.
