Lifestyle factors and health outcomes associated with infertility in women: A case-control study using National Health Insurance Database by Boyoung Jeon, Taeuk Kang, Sung Wook Choi

“…Results This study revealed significant risk factors for infertility: two high-risk lifestyle factors, including heavy drinking and smoking, and five health conditions, comprising underweight, hypertension, diabetes, kidney function loss, and menstrual disorders. Conversely, being overweight, not engaging in vigorous physical activity, and anemia were negatively associated with infertility. …”

An easily missed diagnosis: 17-alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency by Banu Küçükemre-Aydın, Nurçin Saka, Rüveyde Bundak, Sevinç Emre, Alev Yılmaz, Şükran Poyrazoğlu, Firdevs Baş, Ilmay Bilge, Özlem Öğrendil-Yanar, Feyza Darendeliler

“… The CYP17A1 gene encodes the enzyme P450c17, which mediates both 17α-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities and is essential for production of cortisol and sex steroids. Loss-of-function mutations of this gene cause 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency, characterized by hypertension, hypokalemia and sexual infantilism. …”

Intracellular proton conductance of the hepatitis C virus p7 protein and its contribution to infectious virus production. by Ann L Wozniak, Stephen Griffin, David Rowlands, Mark Harris, MinKyung Yi, Stanley M Lemon, Steven A Weinman

“…Accordingly, exposure to acid pH rendered intracellular HCV particles non-infectious, whereas the infectivity of extracellular virions was acid stable and unaffected by incubation at low pH, further demonstrating a key requirement for p7-induced loss of acidification. We conclude that p7 functions as a H(+) permeation pathway, acting to prevent acidification in otherwise acidic intracellular compartments. …”
