Are suppression of the high endogenous levels of plasma FSH in infertile men associated with improved Sertoli cell function as reflected by elevated levels of plasma inhibin B?
In infertile men, suppression of the high endogenous levels of plasma FSH associated with much lower exogenous FSH levels is able to evoke higher inhibin B production, which may indicate improved Sertoli cell function and the possibility that this could have a positive effect on spermatogenesis.
In a clinical practice setting, both 4-day and 7-day rabeprazole, high-dose levofloxacin, tinidazole-based regimens achieved relevant H. pylori eradication rates in treatment-naive patients. The lower number of side effects makes the shorter treatment regimen preferable over the conventional 7-day treatment.
