Effects of diethylstilbestrol on hybridizability of mouse testicular RNA.

Adverse Effects of Formaldehyde Vapor on Mouse Sperm Parameters and Testicular Tissue

In Vivo Study of Diethylstilbestrol Teratogenicity on Mouse Embryo

        Diethylstilbestrol (DES) was widely used in the past, as the morning after contraception, but its application became extremely limited due to several complications including delayed clear cell adenocarcinoma in female infants. However, the use of DES increased during the past decade for hormone replacement therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate possible teratogenicity of this...

The effects of Dexamethasone on Galectin-3 expression in the mouse testicular tissue

Background : Previous studies have demonstrated that Dexamethasone, a widely used GC, induces apoptosis in testis by decreasing the testosterone levels. Galectin-3 (Gal-3), a member of the ß-galactoside-binding lectins, plays critical roles in diverse biological events including cell growth, apoptosis, cell adhesion and immunomodulation. In this study, the effects of Dexamethasone (Dex) on gale...

Effect of Phosalone on Testicular Tissue and In Vitro Fertilizing Potential

Background The current study aimed to evaluate the effects of phosalone (PLN) as an organophosphate (OP) compound on testicular tissue, hormonal alterations and embryo development in rats. MaterialsAndMethods In this experimental study, we divided 18 mature Wistar rats into three groups-control, control-sham and test (n=6 per group). Animals in the test group received one-fourth the lethal dose...

Effects of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles on Mouse Sperm Parameters and Testicular Tissue

Background: Iron oxide nanoparticles are commonly used for various purposes, such as biomedical, medical, and cosmetic services and research. However, there is a little information about the effects of the nanoparticles on human health. The current investigation was conducted to evaluate the adverse effects of iron oxide nanoparticles (FeNP) on the reproductive organs of mice, such as the testi...
