External genital features and normative values for anogenital distances and penile length at birth in a healthy Italian population: data from the LIFE-MILCH project.
Frontiers in endocrinology ·doi:10.3389/fendo.2026.1838976

IntroductionAnogenital distance (AGD) and penile length (PL) are considered as surrogate biomarkers of fetal androgen action and are used to study the impact of prenatal exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals. Data for newborn sex-speci…

IGF-II, IGFBP-4, -6, and -7, and HMGB1 show changes in follicular fluid in PCOS.
Frontiers in endocrinology ·doi:10.3389/fendo.2026.1856759

IntroductionPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multisystem endocrine and metabolic disease characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation, ovulatory dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance. Chronic inflammation modifies th…

Which is the current knowledge on man-made endocrine- disrupting chemicals in follicular fluid? An overview of effects on ovarian function and reproductive health
Frontiers in endocrinology ·doi:10.3389/fendo.2024.1435121

The increase in female reproductive disorders, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, and diminished ovarian reserve that lead to subfertility and infertility, has encouraged researchers to search and discover their underlying ca…

MiRNAs Regulating Insulin Sensitivity Are Dysregulated in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Ovaries and Are Associated With Markers of Inflammation and Insulin Sensitivity.
Frontiers in endocrinology ·doi:10.3389/fendo.2019.00879

Objective: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are gene expression regulators. Altered miRNA levels are associated with diabetes, insulin resistance, and inflammation. Insulin resistance and inflammation are both features of Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)…

Current Knowledge on Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) from Animal Biology to Humans, from Pregnancy to Adulthood: Highlights from a National Italian Meeting.
International journal of molecular sciences ·doi:10.3390/ijms19061647

Wildlife has often presented and suggested the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Animal studies have given us an important opportunity to understand the mechanisms of action of many chemicals on the endocrine system and on n…
