The emerging role of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in male infertility: mechanisms, experimental evidence, and future clinical perspectives

Overall, GLP-1RAs appear to be a promising therapeutic approach for treating obesity-related male reproductive dysfunction by acting on both metabolic health and possibly restoring reproductive function, but there is not enough evidence at present to justify the recommendation of GLP-1RAs as established fertility-enhan...

Irisin as a metabolic regulator of male reproduction.

Obesity and metabolic syndrome are major contributors to male infertility. These conditions disrupt the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and compromise testicular steroidogenesis and spermatogenesis through mechanisms that include altered aromatase activity, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and oxidat...

Phytochemical–SGLT2 Inhibitor Combinations in Type 2 Diabetes: Mechanistic Complementarity, Preclinical Evidence and Translational Perspectives

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial metabolic disorder in which insulin resistance, progressive impairment of pancreatic β-cell function, abnormal hepatic glucose production and disturbances in lipid metabolism contribute to persistent hyperglycemia. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors hav...
