Lessons from the occupational arena demonstrate the potential of industrial chemicals to damage human testicular function.An important but still unresolved question is whether low-level xenobiotic exposure of the general population poses a hazard.In this volume of the Asian Journal of Andrology,this issue is addressed by a series of reviews on xenobiotic exposure profiles,possible biological mechanisms,research methods and knowledge o n impact of specific exposures.Interdisciplinary research fields as gene-environment interaction and male-mediated developmental toxicity is also addressed.Papers are cross-linked by answers to questions mutually put forward by the authors.rnSeveral undisputed lessons from the past demonstrate how xenobiotics in the environment may have profound impact on male reproductive health.The most known cases are from the occupational arena and following environmental disasters.

An inconvenient truth in urology is that despite decades of intense research,prostate cancer (PCa) has remained one of the most prevalent cancers and leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men,particularly in the industrialized world,1 It is rather sob
Many controversial topics regarding Andrology in general,and male infertility more specifically have been discussed and debated for decades.Numerous manuscripts and entire journals have been dedicated to the dissemination of standardized information with
Using conventional imaging modalities,it is difficult to detect recurrent lesions in prostate cancer patients who have undergone biochemical relapse,especially in patients with low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels.We retrospectively reviewed the fil
Early in his investigations,Leeuwenhoek (1670s)1 deduced that spermatozoa were alive and an integral part of semen,rather than artifacts or parasites.He eventually observed spermatozoa in the semen of men,dogs,horses,birds,fishes,amphibians,molluscs,and m

Androgens have important effects on multiple organ systems,which play critical roles in the regulation of a myriad of male sexual,somatic,and behavioral functions critical to lifelong health.Androgen deficiency is a multisystem syndrome,presenting with ty
The International Prostate Forum (IPF) originally started with three urologydepartments in Japan, Turkey, and the United States.The forum emphasized discussions and presentations of new knowledge in all areas of prostate diseases with an early emphasis on
