Reproductive Toxicity of Triptolide in Male House Rat,Rattus rattus

Reproductive Toxicity of Triptolide in Male House Rat, Rattus rattus

The aim of study was to investigate the toxic effect of triptolide fed in bait on reproduction of male house rat, Rattus rattus. Feeding of cereal based bait containing 0.2% triptolide to male R. rattus for 5 days in no-choice feeding test, leading to mean daily ingestion of 20.45 mg/kg bw of triptolide, was found effective in significantly (P ≤ 0.05) reducing sperm motility and viability in ca...

STUDIES OF THE TOXICITY OF VACOR (RH-787) ON THE REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY OF Rattus rattus rufescens

EFFECT OF AQUEOUS LEAF EXTRACT OF Andrographis paniculata IN THE REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS AND FERTILITY OF THE MALE WILD INDIAN HOUSE RAT (Rattus rattus)

Effect of oral administration of aqueous leaf extract of Kalmegh (Andrographis paniculata) (250 mg/kg body weight/day) on the male reproductive organs of the wild Indian house rat (Rattus rattus) was investigated and its activity was noticed at 30th and 45th days of post treated animals. The treatment had no severe effect on body weight and the reproductive organs weight of rats. In treated rat...

Changes in Reproductive Hormones Secretion Involved in Quantum Dots-induced Reproductive Toxicity in Adult Male Mice

Background and Aims: Quantum dots (QDs), as colloidal nanocrystalline semiconductors, present QD wavelengths in terms of biomedical assays and imaging, though the high toxicity of their core demands to be taken into consideration. Investigating this subject is taken into account as an important concept   concerning use of these nanoparticles in the medical applications. Materials a...

P-43: Reproductive Toxicity of Low Metal Exposureon Male

Background: Recent evidence has indicated a deterioration in reproductive health of men in many countries over the past few decades, particularly a decrease in semen quality and an increase in prevalence of prostate cancer. The human male has a relatively low fertility potential as compared to other mammals. Thus, the human male may be at greater risk from reproductive toxicants. For example, t...
