Infertility and testicular atrophy in the antiestrogen-treated adult male rat.
The estrogen receptor-alpha (ERalpha) knockout mouse (alphaERKO) lacks ERalpha throughout development; therefore, an adult model for the study of estrogen effects in male mice was recently developed using the antiestrogen ICI 182,780. However, differences between species have been noted during immunostaining for ERalpha in the male tract as well as in response to treatments with antiestrogens. ...
متن کاملTesticular Biopsy in Male Infertility
Background: The evaluation of the infertile male includes a thorough history taking, physical examination Semen analysis, hormonal array and search for anti sperm antibody. Additional tests include Trans rectal ultrasound, vasography and testicular biopsy. The latter is particularly useful in cases of azoospermia or oligozoospermia and normal endocrine function. Objective: To identify and categ...

متن کاملThe antiestrogen ICI 182,780 induces early effects on the adult male mouse reproductive tract and long-term decreased fertility without testicular atrophy
BACKGROUND Estrogen receptors (ER) have important physiological roles in both the female and male reproductive systems. Previous studies using the estrogen receptor-alpha knockout mouse (alphaERKO) or antiestrogen treatment in adult rodents have shown that ERalpha is essential for normal function of the male reproductive tract. In the present study, time-response effects of the antiestrogen ICI...
متن کاملThe Histological, Histomorphometrical and Histochemical Changes of Testicular Tissue in the Metformin Treated and Untreated Streptozotocin-Induced Adult Diabetic Rats
In this investigation, diabetes was induced in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats by single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) at 45 mg kg-1 of body weight. A group comprised of 8 diabetic rats was treated with metformin at 100 mg kg-1 of body weight for reducing the elevated blood glucose level. The results revealed that, in the untreated diabetic rats, the body and testicular weigh...
