  • Testosterone level?

    Increasing evidence suggests that neurotransmitter Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is involved in the pathogenesis of ovulatory dysfunction through its central role in the hypothalamus. However, the peripheral role of GABA in ovulatory dysfunction has not been sufficiently investigated in spite of its existence in peripheral organs. First, the aim of this study is to investigate serum GABA level in ovulatory dysfunction patients. Second, to explore the correlation between serum GABA level with Body Mass Index (BMI), dyslipidemia, total testosterone and 25 (OH) vitamin D. Eighty ovulatory dysfunction patients and eighty age-matched healthy females were included in the study. All parameters were assessed calorimetrically or with ELISA. ovulatory dysfunction patients showed significantly decreased serum GABA level compared to controls (p < 0.001). There was a significant positive correlation between serum GABA and 25(OH) vitamin D levels (r = 0.26, p = 0.018), and a significant negative correlation with total testosterone (r = - 0.3, p = 0.02), total cholesterol (TC) (r = - 0.31, p = 0.01) and LDL-Cholesterol (LDL-C) (r = - 0.23, p = 0.045), respectively. The findings of this study suggest that disrupted GABA level in the peripheral circulation is an added contributing factor to ovulatory dysfunction manifestations. GABA deficiency was correlated with 25 (OH) vitamin D deficiency, dyslipidemia, and low total testosterone. Further investigations for GABA adjustment might supply a promising means for better management of ovulatory dysfunction symptoms. (Journal of Medical Biochemistry. 2019 Oct;38(4):512) READ MORE

Media Releases

Get to know Reproductive Endocrinologist Dr. Jaime Vasquez, who serves patients in Nashville, Tennessee.

Dr. Vasquez is a board certified reproductive endocrinologist who utilizes assisted reproductive technology to address infertility. He is the Medical Director of The Center for Reproductive Health (CRH) in Nashville, Tennessee at Centennial Medical Center. CRH is a fully integrated, comprehensive fertility center that has been an innovator in infertility treatments and molecular genetics since 1995. The Center has helped thousands of patients worldwide realize their dreams of starting a family.

Dr. Vasquez earned his medical degree from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile Faculty of Medicine ranked 1st in Latin America in 2018 according to the British Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Ranking. QS is viewed as one of the three most-widely read university rankings in the world. After obtaining a World Health Organization research training grant, he was named a National Institute of Health fellow in reproductive endocrinology. He completed his OB/GYN residency at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. His fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility was at the C.S. Mott Center for Human Growth and Development at Wayne State University.

Dr. Vasquez is board certified in obstetrics & gynecology and reproductive endocrinology & infertility by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The ABOG is a non-profit organization that provides board certification for practicing obstetricians and gynecologists in the US and Canada.

Dr. Vasquez is also a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG). The ACOG is a professional association of physicians specializing in obstetrics and gynecology in the US. Dr. Vasquez has been named a Top Doctor in Nashville, Tennessee multiple years. 

Well known in his field, Dr. Vasquez has previously held faculty positions at Vanderbilt, Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, and the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison. He has been invited to lecture at scientific and medical meetings throughout the world and has played a key investigative role in numerous research projects in his field. He has also published in multiple peer-reviewed journals, both nationally and internationally, and has co-authored multiple textbooks. 

Before founding CRH in 1995, Dr. Vasquez served as Director of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility for Vanderbilt University’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. In that position, he revitalized the University’s Center for Fertility and Reproductive Research, helping to re-establish its position as a national leader in fertility research and services.

Dr. Vasquez subspecialty board certification in Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility has contributed to his internationally renowned expertise. He diagnoses and treats a wide range of conditions relating to fertility, including assisted reproductive technologies (ART) involving the direct manipulation of eggs, sperm, and embryos for use in infertility treatment. Types of ART performed by Dr. Vasquez include sperm, egg and embryo freezing for fertility preservation, in vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), assisted hatching (AH) of embryos, and embryo transfer (ET). Newer assisted reproductive technologies utilized by Dr. Vasquez include such powerful techniques as trophectoderm cell sampling, genomic hybridization,  preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), comprehensive chromosome screening (CCS) for chromosomal and genetic evaluation that allows the patient to choose normal blastocysts and avoid chromosomal anomalies (i.e., Down’s syndrome) as well as preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) to preclude specific Mendelian genetic inheritance (i.e., Cystic Fibrosis, Alpha Thalassemia, Sickle Cell Disease). Additional successful ART technologies include mitochondrial DNA analysis to select viable blastocysts that are most likely to become a healthy live birth.

Some forms of ART are also used with regard to fertile couples for genetic reasons including single genomic sequencing and the option of gender selection to exclude X-linked recessive traits (i.e., Hemophilia A (Factor VIII deficiency) or B (Factor IX deficiency) or family balancing (controlled sex selection for family harmonizing gives parents more control of the composition of their family). ART is also used for couples who are discordant for certain communicable diseases; for example, HIV to reduce the risk of infection when a pregnancy is desired. Third Party Reproduction is the technology used to achieve pregnancy in procedures such as sperm or egg donation, embryo adoption and surrogacy. Dr. Vasquez is noted not only for his clinical excellence, but also for his compassionate and patient-centric attitude.
