Studies have demonstrated the presence of androgen receptors in osteoblasts and osteocytes, confirming that androgens are important for the maintenance of bone in men. Additionally to steroid hormones, histamine stimulates osteoclast differentiation and survival and plays a role in the inflammatory response via H2 receptors. We purposed to investigate whether cimetidine, an histamine H2 receptors antagonist and antiandrogenic drug, interferes in the periodontal tissue damages ...

Metabolic and endocrine dysregulation induced by high-fat diet (HFD) can lead to decreased male fertility potential and have a negative impact on the offspring’s metabolic health. Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) were proposed as being potential mediators of metabolic queues across transgenerational inheritance. During development and epidydimal transit, spermatozoa become enriched with tRNA-derived stress-induced RNAs (tiRNAs). This sncRNAs class appears to be particularl...

Background: Therapy with levothyroxine (L-T4) is essential in hypothyroidism treatment. The marked elevation of thyrotropin (TSH) in patients treated with appropriate doses of L-T4 is rare and can result from malabsorption, drug interaction or poor adherence. The non-adherence, omitted by the patient, is called pseudo malabsorption.Clinical report: ACCS, female, 30 years old, hospitalized for persistent...
