    Title translation Une maladie d’Addison révélée par une hyponatrémie sévère.
    Abstract We present the case of an Addison's disease revealed by a serious hyponatremia. The serum concentration of ACTH and 21-hydroxylase antibodies were increased and lead to the diagnosis. The cortisol blood level was lowered but required to take into account the stress induced by the hospitalisation of the patient. Addison's disease is characterized by the destruction of the adrenal cortex. Autoimmune adrenalitis is the main cause of adrenal insufficiency. Treatment involves normalisation of sodium concentration and corticosteroids replacement. With a good patient compliance, the survival rate of Addisonian patient is similar to that of the normal population. Management of patient requires vigilance because of the occurrence of others autoimmunes diseases during patient life.

    Abstract The cytochrome P450 aromatase is the terminal enzyme responsible for the irreversible transformation of androgens into estrogens; it is present in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane of cells and rather ubiquitous in its localization. The aromatase gene is unique in humans and its expression is regulated in a cell-specific manner via the alternative use of various promoters located in the first exon I of the CYP19 gene. The aromatase gene expression and its translation into a fully active protein have been shown in most of the testicular cells including germ cells as well as in the epithelial cells of the epididymis in mammals. Together with the widespread distribution of estrogen receptors (ERalpha and ERbeta) in the genital tract of the male, a physiological role for estrogens in the regulation of mammalian reproductive functions including the regulation of gonadotropin feedback, is now well recognized. Moreover, in men the aromatase deficiency is associated with severe bone maturation problems, alterations of lipid and sugar metabolism and sterility; but conversely an excess of estrogens is responsible for the impairment of spermatogenesis. In addition, estrogens play an important role in the control of osteoporosis and of atherosclerosis, especially in elderly men. Consequently, estradiol seems to be a critical factor not only for normal reproduction (at least for maturation and survival of germ cells) but also for various physiological processes and thus, estrogens should be now considered as "male hormones".

    Abstract The aromatase is the terminal enzyme responsible for estrogen biosynthesis. It is present in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane of steroidogenic cells. The aromatase gene is unique and its expression is regulated in a tissue and more precisely, in a cell-specific manner via the alternative use of various promoters located in the first exon I. Physiological role of estrogens in the regulation of mammalian testicular functions is indicated by: 1/the aromatase gene expression and its transduction in a fully active protein in somatic cells as well in germ cells of testes, 2/ the widespread distribution of estrogen receptors (ERalpha and ERbeta) in the genital tract of the male. Our recent data showing that human ejaculated spermatozoa expressed specific transcripts for P450arom support and expand the observations reported in germ cells of other mammalian species. Therefore, female hormones (or the ratio androgens/estrogens) do play a role, either directly on germ cells or via testicular somatic cells, in the maintenance of male gonadal functions. Several steps, including spermatid production, the sperm maturation and/or survival provide opportunity for estrogen action.

    Abstract The role of oestrogens in male reproductive tract physiology has for a long time been a subject of debate. The testis produces significant amounts of oestrogenic hormones, via aromatase, and oestrogen receptors (ERs)alpha (ESR1) and ERbeta (ESR2) are selectively expressed in cells of the testis as well as the epididymal epithelium, depending upon species. This review summarizes the current knowledge concerning the presence and activity of aromatase and ERs in testis and sperm and the potential roles that oestrogens may have in mammalian spermatogenesis. Data show that physiology of the male gonad is in part under the control of a balance of androgens and oestrogens, with aromatase serving as a modulator.

    Abstract The biosynthesis of steroids and the production of spermatozoa are two major functions of the mammalian testis which are tightly controlled by gonadotropins and numerous locally produced factors. Among these are the estrogens that are produced within the seminiferous epithelium via the irreversible transformation of androgens (C19) into estrogens (C18) by aromatase. We have recently reported that male germ cells are the new source of estrogens in the testis. For instance, estrogen receptors (ER) are found mainly in spermatids that give rise to spermatozoa. Moreover, it is noteworthy that GPR 30 (a transmembrane ER) induces rapid responses after estradiol binding, which, in turn, modulates cyclins and proapoptotic factors (e.g., BAX) to affect germ cell cycle progression and apoptosis. In summary, at least in the animal species that were studied thus far, germ cells are the major source and the target of estrogens, affecting normal male gonadal development and spermatogenesis, in particular spermiogenesis. These findings have also shed new light on the possible adverse effects of endocrine disruptors having estrogenic activities that can cause abnormal development of the male genital tract.

    Abstract Aromatase converts irreversibly androgens into estrogens and is present in the endoplasmic reticulum of various cells of mammalian testes

    at least in rodents, all testicular cells except peritubular cells express aromatase. In testis, high affinity estrogen receptors, ERalpha and/or ERbeta, together with a membrane rapid effect recently described, mediate the effects of estrogens. From the experimental models, in vitro studies and data collected in patients, it is now demonstrated that estrogens play an important role in the testis of vertebrates. At least it is supported by the widespread distribution of estrogen receptors in the testicular cells and the simultaneous presence of a biologically active aromatase in all germ cells (especially in meiotic and post-meiotic stages). Thus the role of estrogens (intracrine, autocrine and / or paracrine) in spermatogenesis (proliferation, apoptosis, survival and maturation) and more generally, in male reproduction is now evidenced, and much more complex than previously predicted.

    Abstract Reduced storage of dietary fatty acids (DFAs) in abdominal adipose tissues with enhanced cardiac partitioning has been shown in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and prediabetes. We measured DFA metabolism and organ partitioning using positron emission tomography with oral and intravenous long-chain fatty acid and glucose tracers during a standard liquid meal in 12 obese subjects with T2D before and 8-12 days after bariatric surgery (sleeve gastrectomy or sleeve gastrectomy and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch). Bariatric surgery reduced cardiac DFA uptake from a median (standard uptake value [SUV]) 1.75 (interquartile range 1.39-2.57) before to 1.09 (1.04-1.53) after surgery (

    Abstract The existence of a complex population of mRNAs in human sperm is well documented but their role is not completely elucidated. Evidence for a latent transcriptional capacity and/or a potential translation de novo in mature spermatozoa from fertile men has been provided and is helpful in understanding the final steps of sperm maturation (capacitation and/or the acrosome reaction). Spermatogenesis is controlled by gonadotrophins and testosterone, their effects are modulated by locally-produced factors that include estrogens derived from the irreversible transformation of androgens by aromatase. The data demonstrating an additional source of estrogens in rat germ cells along with several studies showing a decreased sperm motility in men deficient in aromatase has led to the further explanation of the expression of aromatase in ejaculated spermatozoa from fertile men. A significant decrease in the amount of aromatase transcripts in the immotile sperm fraction was recorded. In addition, the levels of transcripts encoding for proteins involved in either nuclear condensation protamines 1 and 2 (Prm1 and Prm2) or in capacitation endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and neuronal nitric oxide sythase (nNOS) and c-myc were compared in low and high motile sperm prepared from the same sample. No significant change in the ratio of c-myc/Prm2 between the two populations of spermatozoa was observed. Conversely the amount of Prm1 mRNA was significantly higher in the low motile fraction than in the high motile fraction; in most of the high motile sperm samples analyzed, eNOS and nNOS transcripts were undetectable, whereas they were observed in low motile sperm. Moreover, a partial or complete disappearance of c-myc transcripts was observed after capacitation. Analysis of the mRNA profile in human ejaculated sperm could be helpful either as a diagnostic tool to evaluate the male gamete quality and/or as a prognostic value for fertilization and embryo development.
