Abstract

Impaired gonadal function, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and obstructive sleep apnea commonly occur together in men. We propose that this arises due to two interlinked cycles. Understanding the molecular mechanisms by which these relationships occur may lead to novel therapeutic strategies. Although obesity is not gender specific and the effectiveness of current antiobesity interventions have predominantly been verified in women, promoting weight loss in men is an urgent concern because men are have proportionally worse health consequences. In addition, avoiding excessive weight may maintain optimal male reproductive health.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
