Objectives: To explore the relationship between body mass index and varicocele, the range of body mass index that leads to increased odds of varicocele, and the association between body mass index with the position and grade of varicocele. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 211 989 Chinese males aged 18-65 years participated in the National Free Pre-conception Check-up Projects from January 2013 to December 2018. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were constructed to assess the association between body mass index and varicocele. Results: Overweight and obese males had 13.1% (odds ratio 0.869, 95% confidence interval 0.838-0.902) and 32.3% (odds ratio 0.677, 95% confidence interval 0.632-0.725) lower odds of varicocele than those with normal body mass index, respectively. The association between them was non-linear, and males with body mass index of 17.74 to 23.09 kg/m 2 had an increased odds of varicocele. The overweight and obese males had lower odds of left and bilateral varicocele, but the right varicocele odds was increased by 63.3% in obese males. Conclusion: Body mass index was associated with the odds of varicocele among reproductive-age males, but the odds varied by position. The effects of weight management and varicocele on fertility should be taken into account in fertility guidance.

“…As a corollary, in response to oxidant stress, G6PD-deficient hepatocytes exhibit transcriptomic network perturbations in redox pathways and immune response pathways ( 98 ). Clinically, G6PD deficiency has been linked to increased risk of Hepatitis A and B infections ( 99 , 100 ), which may be related to deficient interferon responses in hepatocytes due to insufficient ROS generation by NADPH oxidase, as has been described for Dengue virus infection in G6PD-deficient monocytes ( 101 ).…”

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzymopathy in humans. G6PD is an essential enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), generating NADPH needed for cellular biosynthesis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis, the latter especially key in red blood cells (RBCs). Beyond the RBC, there is emerging evidence that G6PD exerts an immunologic role by virtue of its functions in leukocyte oxidative metabolism and anabolic synthesis necessary for immune effector function. We review these here, and consider the global immunometabolic role of G6PD activity and G6PD deficiency in modulating inflammation and immunopathology.

“…Viral infections, including COVID-19 G6PD def may increase cell susceptibility to viral infections such as hepatitis B [16], dengue fever, enterovirus 71, and coronavirus 229E [11]. Additionally, viral infections may trigger hemolytic complications in G6PD def patients [17][18][19].…”

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) maintains redox balance in a variety of cell types and is essential for erythrocyte resistance to oxidative stress. G6PD deficiency, caused by mutations in the G6PD gene, is present in ~400 million people worldwide, and can cause acute hemolytic anemia. Currently, there are no therapeutics for G6PD deficiency. We discuss the role of G6PD in hemolytic and nonhemolytic disorders, treatment strategies attempted over the years, and potential reasons for their failure. We also discuss potential pharmacological pathways, including glutathione (GSH) metabolism, compensatory NADPH production routes, transcriptional upregulation of the G6PD gene, highlighting potential drug targets. The needs and opportunities described here may motivate the development of a therapeutic for hematological and other chronic diseases associated with G6PD deficiency. G6PD deficiency as a hematological disorderGlucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD; see Glossary) regulates glycolytic flux through the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) and plays a central role in redox homeostasis; it produces NADPH, an essential cofactor for glutathione (GSH) regeneration. G6PD is a major source of NADPH and loss of G6PD function is detrimental in erythrocytes; it causes G6PD deficiency (G6PD def ), a potentially hemolytic disorder [1]. HighlightsGlucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is better known as a hematological disorder. However, G6PD may play a role in other chronic disorders such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, viral infectivity and complications, and neurodegeneration.
