The renin-angiotensin system, a complex biological system which is well known in the regulation of blood pressure has indeed multiple interaction with other regulatory system. Recently, several findings have also pointed to a possible involvement of this system in male reproductive function. High amounts of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), the main regulatory enzyme of this system, do not o…
In view of demographic trends, andrology will increasingly be concerned with problems of the aging male, especially with aspects of fertility. While there is considerable interindividual variation, fertility in men usually persists well into old age. However, increased occurence of spontaneous mutations means a higher genetic risk for children of older fathers. Diminished androgen levels in old…
