      To determine the prevalence of South Amerindian Y chromosome in Chilean patients with spermatogenic failure and their association with classical and/or AZFc-partial Y chromosome deletions. We studied 400 men, 218 with ...
    • Parada Bustamante, Alexis; Orihuela, Pedro A.; Molina, Cristián; Cárdenas, Hugo; Reuquén, Patricia; Valencia, Cecilia; Rincón, Ramiro (Nova Science Publishers, 2013)
      Estradiol (E2) is a steroidal hormone generated by the conversion of testosterone via the p450 aromatase enzymatic complex. The E2 physiological actions are mainly mediated by its interaction with intracellular receptors ...
