Abstract:

Background Infertility and fertility decline are quite a conundrum for medicine, rampant among 10-15 percent of couples. In about 40 percent of cases, men are the main culprit. Since sperm production disorders are the focal cause of man infertility, insights into these disorders and taking action to ameliorate the situation is quite vital. The current study concentrates on infertility due to sperm malformation. MaterialsAndMethods In this cross sectional-descriptive analysis, natural morphology and sperm malformation are the elements which are material to the investigation. Over a span of six months, the semen of 478 patients who referred to the center of infertility ACECR-Arak is meticulously assessed. The analyses were used applying Papanicolaou stains method and in compliance with WHO canons. Results In this study 3.83 ± 3.21 percent of sperms are morphologically natural. From among 96.17 ± 3.27 percent of malformed sperms, 5.65 ± 3.2 percent have anomaly in their heads, 4.4 ± 3.5 percent in their torso and 5.21 ± 3.7 percent have anomalies in their tails. 80.9 ± 14.5 percent of sperms are also classified as amorphous. Conclusion Current study clearly demonstrated that the higher the levels of morphological disorders, the less the chances of a fecund pregnancy. To show sound judgment, indepth analysis of all related characteristics of semen is a must. Factors like genetic background, different diseases and pollutants can devastatingly affect morphological parameters of the sperm. Stress Oxidative is just one of the mechanism leading to this anomaly.

P-2: Protective Effects of Ethyl Pyruvate on Serum Antioxidant Capacity and Testis Germinalepithelium Morphometryin Cyclophosphamide Treated Mice

Background Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a chemotherapeuticdrug which causes deleterious effects on tissue of testicle and increases free radicals in the body. The aim of this study is to investigate protective effects of ethyl pyruvate (EP) on improvement of testicle inCP treated animals. MaterialsAndMethods In this study, 15 male mice(6-8 weeks) were divided into 3 groups. Control group receivedno...

Protective effect of ethyl pyruvate on testicular histology and fertilization potential in cyclophosphamide treated mice

In the present study, we aimed to address the use of ethyl pyruvate (EP) against the harmful effects of cyclophosphamide (CP) treatment. Thirty-nine adult male mice were divided into three groups including control group received normal saline [0.20 mL per day; intraperitoneally (IP)], CP group received CP (15.00 mg kg-1 per week, IP) and CP+EP group received EP (40.00 mg kg-1</s...

P-4: Ethyl Pyruvate Against MTX- Induced Sperm Toxicity in Mice

Background: Methotrexate, an immunosuppressive drug, is a folic acid antagonist. This inhibits synthesis of thymidylate, serine, and methionine, which disrupts synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein and leads to cell death. Ethyl pyruvate, a commercial food additive, is a lipophilic ester derivative of pyruvate .In previous reports, that has been shown to ameliorate organ dysfunction in a variety o...

Superoxide dismutase in human testis preparations.

A protein fraction from human testis was structurally investigated. The main component of the fraction reported to contain inhibin-like activity was purified and analyzed by tryptic digestion. The peptides obtained identified the protein as an enzyme, superoxide dismutase, previously known to be present in seminal plasma. The results show that superoxide dismutase is a major enzyme, also of tes...

protective effect of ethyl pyruvate on epididymal sperm characteristics, oxidative stress and testosterone level in methotrexate treated mice

background: methotrexate (mtx) is an anti-metabolite drug widely used in treatment of neoplastic disorders, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. the ester derivative, ethyl pyruvate (ep) is stable in solution and should function as an antioxidant and energy precursor. this study was conducted to evaluate the protective role of ep on sperm parameters, testosterone level and malondialdehyde (mda) ...
