[ 1 ] - N-Acetylcysteine Compared to Metformin, Improves The Expression Profile of Growth Differentiation Factor-9 and Receptor Tyrosine Kinase c-Kit in The Oocytes of Patients with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Objective Paracrine disruption of growth factors in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome results in production of low quality oocyte, especially following ovulation induction. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of metformin (MET), N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and their combination on the hormonal levels and expression profile of GDF-9, BMP-15 and c-Kit, as hallmarks of oocyte qual...
[ 2 ] - Aluminium-Induced Oxidative Stress, Apoptosis and Alterations in Testicular Tissue and Sperm Quality in Wistar Rats: Ameliorative Effects of Curcumin
Objective Reproductive toxicity is a major challenge associated with aluminum (Al) exposure. No studies have evaluated the possible effects of curcumin (CUR) on Al-induced reproductive dysfunction. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of CUR treatment on Al-induced reproductive damage. MaterialsAndMethods In this experimental study, 40 male Wistar rats were allocated to five groups (N...
[ 3 ] - The effects of Vitamin C on quality of semen, testicular tissue, and level of apoptosis in mice exposed to sodium arsenite
Background: Arsenic as a heavy metal exerts malformation and changes in the reproductive system of men via induction of oxidative stress. We sought to investigate the impact of Vitamin C (Vit C), as a potent antioxidant, on sperm quality and testicular tissue in mice that received sodium arsenite. Methods and materials: NMRI mice were classified into four groups: control, sodium arsenite (7 mg...
[ 4 ] - Comparison of the Effect of Eight Weeks of Propolis, Chicory, and Resistance Training on Histopathological and Morphometric Changes of Uterine Tissue in Rats Consuming Testosterone Enanthate
Background: The illegal use of anabolic and androgenic steroids is a public health problem, so that their side effects in women are completely different from those shown in men. Objectives: This study aimed comparison of the effect of eight weeks of Propolis, Chicory, and Resistance training on histopathological and morphometric changes of uterine tissue in rats consuming Testosterone enanthat...
