[ 1 ] - P-40: Melatonin Could Improve The Sperm Quality, Level of Antioxidant Enzymes and Lipid Peroxidation of Testis after The Combination of Swimming Exercise and Supraphysiological Dose of Nandrolone Decanoate in Rats

Background: This study investigates the effects of melatonin on the sperm quality, the level of antioxidant enzymes (TAC) and malondialdehyde (MDA) after the combination of swimming exercise and nandrolone decanoate (DECA). Materials and Methods: Two groups of male Wistar rats were treated for eight weeks as follows; group A consist of: CO (control), Sham, N (DECA), S (swimming) and NS (DECA pl...

[ 2 ] - P-52: Protective Effects of Korean Red Ginseng on The Testis of Epididymo-Orchitis in The Rat Model

Background: Bacterial infections are mostly the consequence of an ascending infection of the genito-urinary tract which can ultimately lead to epididymo-orchitis. Ginseng has proven its worth with respect to reproductive function in several reports.Therefore, Escherichia coli M39 was employed to investigate whether Ginseng have protective effects on the testis of epididymo-orchitis in the rat m...

[ 3 ] - P-53: Evaluation of The Effects of ElectroMagnetic Field (2.4 GHz) of Laptop Computers on The Sperm Quality, Caspase 3 Activity, Spermatogenic Cells Apoptosis and The Histomorphometry of Testes in The Adult Rat

Background: The qualitative computers (laptop) are as one of the sources of electromagnetic fields (EMF) and these waves are emitted from laptop when you are working with it or connecting to the internet (wireless).The aim of this study is assaying the effects of 2.4GHz waves on the spermatogenesis cycle at the time of connecting to the internet. Materials and Methods: In this study, 36 adult W...

[ 4 ] - P-54: Melatonin Treatment Along Latent and Chronic Phases of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy, Protects Testes Against Destroying Effect of Lithium-Pilocarpine Induced Epileptic Rats

Background: Because of the observed protective effect of melatonin against TLE and the putative role of melatonin to influence neuroendocrine-gonadal axis, we tried to find out whether initiating the melatonin treatment after induction of Status Epilepticus (SE) and all along the different phases of epileptogenesis process, might be able to protect the testes and sperm against devastating effec...

[ 5 ] - P-69: Cellular and Molecular Mechanism of Male Infertility in The Athletes That Abuse Anabolic Androgenic Steroids: Apoptosis in Spermatogenic Cells, Caspase 3 Activity and The Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in The Rat Model

Background: Anabolic-androgenic steroids are used at high doses by athletes for improving athletic ability, physical appearance and muscle mass. Unfortunately, the abuse of these agents has significantly increased. It has been established that exercise and high doses of anabolic-androgenic steroids may influence the hypothalamic- pituitary-testis axis, which can in turn affect testicular apopto...

[ 6 ] - O-7: Insulin Exerts a Prosurvival Effect on Human Spermatozoa via Mechanisms That Involve the Stimulation of Akt Phosphorylation

Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of Insulin (INS) on human sperm function, in light of a recent proteomic analysis indicating that these cells express the INS receptor (INSR). Materials and Methods: We used Western blot and Immunocytochemical analyses. Results: Immunocytochemical analyses confirmed the presence of INSR in human spermatozoa and localized this recep...
