Red light improves spermatozoa motility and does not induce oxidative DNA damage
The ability to successfully fertilize ova relies upon the swimming ability of spermatozoa. Both in humans and in animals, sperm motility has been used as a metric for the viability of semen samples. Recently, several studies have examined the efficacy of low dosage red light exposure for cellular repair and increasing sperm motility. Of prime importance to the practical application of this tech...
متن کاملCerebellar hypoplasia in the hyperbilirubinemic Gunn rat: morphological aspects.
Gunn rats, a mutant strain of rats, suffer from autosomal recessive hyperbilirubinemia. The homozygotes (j/j) develop jaundice soon after birth and often exhibit kernicterus and cerebellar hypoplasia that are due to bilirubin. Therefore, j/j Gunn rats have been used as an animal model of bilirubin encephalopathy, as well as of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. In this review, we discuss morphologica...
متن کاملTherapeutic lentivirus-mediated neonatal in vivo gene therapy in hyperbilirubinemic Gunn rats.
Crigler-Najjar type 1 disease (CN-1) is a genetic disorder characterized by high levels of unconjugated bilirubin due to the absence of hepatic UDPglucuronosyltransferase (UGT1) activity. Here we show that in vivo neonatal hepatocyte transduction with a lentiviral vector expressing the defective enzyme resulted in long-term correction in Gunn rats, a model of CN-1. Lentiviral vectors harboring ...
متن کاملNIST gold nanoparticle reference materials do not induce oxidative DNA damage.
One primary challenge in nanotoxicology studies is the lack of well-characterised nanoparticle reference materials which could be used as positive or negative nanoparticle controls. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed three gold nanoparticle (AuNP) reference materials (10, 30 and 60 nm). The genotoxicity of these nanoparticles was tested using HepG2 cells and...
متن کاملOccupational Noise Exposure May Induce Oxidative DNA Damage
Occupational noise enhances the risk of several cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular diseases. The reason behind the drastic effects of noise exposure is the excessive generation of reactive oxygen species molecules. The present study investigates oxidative stress due to occupational noise exposure in 192 male smoking workers exposed to normal noise (sound level ≤80 dBA), low noise (sound leve...
