Table 1 Inhibin B values in cryptorchid subjects in relationship between unilateral and bilateral cryptorchidism
Study group | Subjects investigated | Results |
|---|---|---|
Zivkovic et al. | Unilateral vs bilateral with testes at the superficial inguinal ring | Inhibin B was higher in unilateral cryptorchidism |
Thorup et al. | Bilateral cryptorchidism vs bilateral vanished testes | Inhibin B was higher in cryptorchid subjects in combination with lower values of FSH and LH |
Thorup et al. | Unilateral cryptorchidism vs unilateral vanished testes | No difference between the two groups in terms of inhibin B, FSH or LH |
Cortes et al. | Unilateral and bilateral cryptorchid subjects | Low inhibin B in bilateral cryptorchid boys with testes at superficial inguinal ring than unilateral forms |
Hamdi et al | Unilateral and bilateral cryptorchid subjects compared with control group | Low inhibin B in cryptorchid boys, especially in bilateral forms |
