Abstract

We investigated the effect of letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, on body mass index, serum hormones, and sperm parameters in infertile men with decreased T:E(2) ratios. All sperm parameters increased after letrozole treatment. Letrozole may be effectively used to improve sperm parameters in infertile men with a low serum T:E(2) ratio.

  • Treatment with letrozole or testolactone resulted in normalization of testosterone levels in all subjects, with a concomitant suppression of the originally increased levels of estradiol.

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.
