Central and Local Modulators of Reproduction and Fertility: An Update
Summary
This review updates current understanding of central and local modulators of reproduction and fertility, examining hormonal, neural, and local tissue-level regulatory mechanisms relevant to the increasing prevalence of infertility in industrialized countries. The study synthesizes recent advances in reproductive endocrinology and discusses factors disrupting fertility across multiple regulatory levels.
Infertility is currently one of the most important health troubles in industrialised countries after cardio-vascular diseases and cancer [...]

Micro- and Nano-plastics may affect the central regulation of reproduction: insights from in vitro and in vivo studies on GnRH neurons.
This review examined evidence that micro- and nanoplastics can interfere with the central regulation of reproduction by disrupting hormonal signaling in the brain and endocrine glands. Animal studies show that plastic particle exposure can alter reproductive hormone levels and fertility outcomes.
Micro- and Nano-plastics may affect the central regulation of reproduction: insights from in vitro and in vivo studies on GnRH neurons.
This review examined how micro- and nanoplastics may interfere with the central nervous system regulation of reproduction, compiling evidence from animal studies. The analysis suggests that plastic particle exposure could disrupt hormonal signaling pathways that control reproductive function.
The Physiology of Reproduction – Quo vadis?
This review argues that reproductive physiology remains poorly understood at the systems level, with gamete production and gonadal hormone dynamics reflecting complex, redundant informational networks whose full quantitative and developmental dimensions — and vulnerability to environmental disruptors — are still largely uncharted.
Cellular Mechanisms of Endocrine Disruption
This review examines the cellular mechanisms through which endocrine-disrupting compounds interfere with hormonal signalling, contextualising the problem within the massive expansion of industrial chemical production since industrialisation and the incorporation of many synthetic chemicals into global commerce.
What is driving the global decline of human fertility? Need for a multidisciplinary approach to the underlying mechanisms
This paper examines the many factors driving the worldwide drop in human fertility rates, including delayed childbearing, obesity, and environmental toxicants such as nanoplastics and air pollution that harm reproductive health. The authors warn that these trends could have devastating public health consequences for our species if the underlying causes are not addressed.
