[ 1 ] - Resveratrol decreases apoptosis and NLRP3 complex expressions in experimental varicocele rat model
Objective(s): Varicocele is an abnormal dilation in the testicular vein, which can cause hypoxia, reactive oxygen species accumulation, elevation in testicular temperature, and promote apoptosis and increase proinflammatory cytokine production. According to the varicocele pathophysiology, it is possible that a group of cytosolic receptors called nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD)-like rece...
[ 2 ] - The Effects of Hydro-alcoholic Extracts of Allium sativum L. and Orchismaculata L. on Spermatogenesis Index and Testosterone Level in Cyclophosphamide-treated Rats
Background:One of the most common side effects of cyclophosphamide (CP) is oligo-spermatozoa, azoospermia and elimination of spermatogenic cycles. This study was done to find the efficacy of simultaneous consumption of garlic (Allium sativum L.) and orchid (Orchismaculata L.) hydroalcoholic extracts on spermatogenesis and sex hormones in rats treated with CP. ...
[ 3 ] - Effect of Resistance and Endurance Trainings on Nrf2/Keap1 Signaling Pathway in Testicular Tissue of Type 2 Diabetic Rats
Background and purpose: The antioxidant Nrf2/Keap1 pathway prevents cellular damages against oxidative stress and this pathway is disrupted following diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of endurance and resistance training on antioxidant Nrf2/Keap1 pathway in testicular tissue of diabetic rats. Materials and methods: In this experimental research, 48 male Wistar rats ...
