Prevalence of chronic prostatitis in men with premature ejaculation.
Emiliano Screponi,Eleonora Carosa,Savino M. Di Stasi,Mario Pepe,Giuseppe Carruba,Emmanuele A. Jannini +5 more
TL;DR: A role for chronic prostate inflammation in the pathogenesis of some cases of premature ejaculation is suggested and the importance of a careful examination of the prostate before any pharmacologic or psychosexual therapy for premature ejaculate is stressed.

Lack of sexual activity from erectile dysfunction is associated with a reversible reduction in serum testosterone.
Emmanuele A. Jannini,Emiliano Screponi,Eleonora Carosa,Mario Pepe,Francesco Lo Giudice,Francesco Trimarchi,Salvatore Benvenga +6 more
TL;DR: Since the pre-therapy low testosterone levels were independent of the aetiology of impotence, it is hypothesized that this hormonal pattern is related to the loss of sexual activity, as demonstrated by its normalization with the resumption of coital activity after different therapies.

The effects of iodoprophylaxis on thyroid size during pregnancy.
R. Romano,Emmanuele A. Jannini,Mario Pepe,Alessandro Grimaldi,Michele Olivieri,Patrizia Spennati,Francesco Cappa,Massimino D'Armiento +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that the increased thyroid size in the control group was mainly a result of relative iodine deficiency and that iodoprophylaxis should be warranted even in areas with moderate iodine deficiency to prevent the increase in thyroid size and, probably, to avoid the risk of maternal and fetal hypothyroidism.

Sexual inactivity results in reversible reduction of LH bioavailability.
Eleonora Carosa,Salvatore Benvenga,Francesco Trimarchi,Andrea Lenzi,Mario Pepe,Chiara Simonelli,Emmanuele A. Jannini +6 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the hypotestosteronemia of ED patients is due to impaired bioactivity of LH, which should be due to the hypothalamic functional damage associated to the psychological disturbances which unavoidably follow sexual inactivity.

Thyroid hormone stimulates glucose transport and GLUT1 mRNA in rat Sertoli cells.
TL;DR: It is suggested that thyroid hormone stimulates glucose transport by increasing the synthesis of new glucose transporter units and give further evidence for a direct effect of thyroid hormone in the modulation of Sertoli cell functions.
