Summary: This study aimed to investigate the sex-specific changes in bone mineral density (BMD) following sleeve gastrectomy and evaluate the role of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) in this process. The results showed significant differences in BMD changes between sexes, with men having a greater reduction in total hip BMD and less increase in SHBG after sleeve gastrectomy than women. SHBG was significantly associated with total hip BMD loss in men, while total estrogen was significantly associated with total hip BMD loss in women. These findings suggest the importance of sex-specific screening for personalized postoperative bone care in this population.

Summary: Biological sex influences overall adiposity and fat distribution. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of body fat percentage (BFPAdj) were performed in males and females, adjusting for testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). The study found limited genetic overlap between BFPAdj in males and females, and BFPAdj loci generally did not have adverse cardiometabolic effects. The results suggest that the effects of BFPAdj may be influenced by favorable fat distribution and the modulation of cardiometabolic risk by testosterone and SHBG.

Summary: Insufficient physical activity and obesity in breast cancer survivors are linked to an increased risk of cancer recurrence and death. However, this study found that exercise alone, diet alone, or exercise plus diet did not significantly change sex steroid hormone concentrations in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors who were insufficiently physically active and had overweight or obesity at week 52.

Summary: Diagnosis of functional hypogonadism should lead to a thorough evaluation and optimization of general health, followed by a consideration of testosterone replacement therapy. Testosterone treatment can improve libido, but may not be as effective for erectile dysfunction. It can also have positive effects on insulin resistance, bone strength, physical strength, and mild depressive symptoms, although the long-term clinical significance of these improvements remains uncertain.

Summary: The pathophysiology of PCOS involves complex mechanisms such as obesity, insulin-resistance, oxidative stress, and low-grade inflammation, which may lead to obesity, insulin resistance, vitamin D deficiency, and immune dyscrasia. These factors can interact and exacerbate each other's effects, suggesting an inverse interaction from the traditional understanding.

Summary: Using a 2-sample MR study, we found that genetic predisposition to elevated SHBG levels, with secondary lower BioT levels, is associated with an increased risk of aSAH in women.

Summary: In pre-menopausal females, total testosterone was not significantly associated with lean mass index (LMI) or handgrip strength, while free androgen index (FAI) showed a quadratic association with LMI. Handgrip strength was not associated with FAI or total testosterone in pre-menopausal females without pharmacological alterations in testosterone concentrations.

Summary: This study found that lower levels of testosterone and free testosterone were associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation and bradyarrhythmia in men. Higher levels of free testosterone were associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmia. Higher SHBG concentrations were associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmia, and bradyarrhythmia.

Summary: The study showed that lower serum testosterone levels were independently associated with higher all-cause and cancer-related mortality in middle-aged to older men, while lower SHBG levels were independently associated with lower all-cause, CVD-related, and cancer-related mortality. Confirmation of these associations and causality would require mechanistic studies and prospective trials.

Summary: The global obesity pandemic is leading to increasing rates of non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases, prompting international efforts to develop reliable biomarkers for hepatic steatosis and steatohepatitis. MicroRNAs have been proposed as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers to improve clinical intervention strategies for patients with hepatic steatosis.

Summary: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a liver condition with fat accumulation, ranging from benign steatosis to liver cancer. It is associated with multiple disorders like diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome. Research indicates it is also a risk factor for developing certain respiratory diseases.

Summary: Pyroptosis is a type of programmed cell death mediated by the inflammasome through the pro-inflammatory activity of gasdermin D. Research indicates that gasdermin D plays a crucial role in connecting an elevated immune response to a sustained inflammation, linking it to the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Both basic and clinical studies show evidence supporting gasdermin D as a potential therapeutic target for diseases characterized by perpetuated inflammatory processes.

Summary: Metabolically associated fatty liver disease, previously known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, is a common liver disease worldwide and a major cause of liver transplantation. It is characterized by the presence of more than 5% lipid droplets in hepatocytes without concurrent liver diseases. Various factors, such as inflammatory cytokine secretion, mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum dysfunction, alteration of the intestine-liver axis, bacterial dysbiosis, and genetic and epigenetic factors, can contribute to the progression of metabolically associated fatty liver disease to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
