☣️ Cadmium, an endocrine disruptor, is a known reproductive toxin.

New research by Yorgui Santiago-Andres et al. reveals the role of cadmium in testicular dysfunction via direct testicular damage & disrupted gonadotroph calcium signalling & hormone secretion.

In vivo effects of cadmium on signaling and secretion of pituitary gonadotrophs in male mice are time-dependent. Journal of Endocrinology. By Yorgui Santiago-Andres et al. Figure 1. Effects of cadmium on testicular morphology and function. (A) Representative images of H&E staining on the testes showing structural modifications in the seminiferous tubules. Scale bars: 100 µm. Immunofluorescence analysis of apoptosis in testis sections using an antibody against caspase-3 (green); nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Scale bars: 200 µm. (B) Cadmium caused hemorrhage in the testes (scale bar shown in cm). (C) Testis weight was significantly reduced after cadmium injection (*P = 0.035, ****P < 0.001; n = 9 for control, 11 for Cd21, 9 for Cd35, and 18 for Cd56). (D) Quantification of sperm cell number in the caudal epididymis (**P = 0.001, ***P = 0.001; n = 7 for control, and 8 for all other groups). (E and F) ...

🧬 Cortisol-induced ZBTB16 may restore baseline cellular state after inflammation & enhance glucocorticoid receptor anti-inflammatory effects. This could guide drug development that reduces side effects while retaining glucocorticoid benefits.

🔗Read the research #OA: doi.org/10.1530/JOE-24-0283
New Research: The glucocorticoid receptor is affected by its target ZBTB16 in a dissociated manner in Journal of Endocrinology. Authors: Sekar Galuh et al. Figure 7. Schematic figure of cortisol-induced ZBTB16 as part of intracellular feedback regulation of GR signaling. Baseline 1: Under low cortisol baseline condition, there is low basal GR transcriptional activity. Induction 2: Under stimulated (high cortisol) conditions, GR induces target genes via transactivation, including ZBTB16, and represses other GR target genes. Adaptation 3: Cortisol-induced ZBTB16 protein modulates GR-mediated transcriptional activities by potentiating transrepression and attenuating transactivation effects in a gene-specific manner. This orchestrated activity of glucocorticoid-induced ZBTB16 restores the cellular condition to its baseline state and therefore may be part of an intracellular negative feedback loop.
