Objective: Age brings about changes to the oxidant and antioxidant balance of male testis that give rise loss fertility. The Ferula elaeochytris root extract (FE), contents anti-inflammatory component, have been used treat infertility by local people for centuries. main objectives this study were determine whether FE was effective on sperm quality, spermatogenesis, apoptosis oxidative stress in...

No condition in the field of gynaecology exhibits such a variety of manifestations as (loes endometriosis. No other condition has in consequence been so prolific of speculation an(l theory to explain it. 'The first (lescriptionl of endometriosis or alenomyoma as an entity is attributed to Rokitanskyl in 1860. In 1870 Waldeyer2 conclu(ded that nearly all epithelial new growths of the ovary origi...

This study aimed to investigate the dose-dependent and time-dependent effect of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONPs) on reproduction in male rats. Following their synthesis, physicochemical properties MIONPs were determined. Sixty-four adult rats, aged 90 days randomly assigned control (C), orally administered with distilled water, three treated groups, 1, 5, 10 mg/kg/day solution (TL, TM...

BACKGROUND Busulfan(Bus) is a chemotherapy drug that is widely used for cancer treatment. However, administration of busulfan may cause temporary or permanent sterility in male patients. Therefore, reduction of this side is necessary. OBJECTIVE evaluation of the protective effects of L-carnitine and testis homogenized tissue(THT) on sperm parameters and the testis structure after busulfan tre...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate inhibin secretion in rats with autoimmune orchitis. As we have previously described, experimental autoimmune orchitis (EAO) induced in rats by active immunization with testis homogenate and adjuvants is characterized by an interstitial mononuclear cell infiltrate and sloughing of the germinal epithelium. At 120 days after the first immunization 60% o...

background: this study was undertaken to establish the characterization of cultured oral mucosal epithelium and introducing them as an alternative source for reconstruction of ocular surface disease. methods: human oral epithelial cells were cultured on simple media (dmem/hf12) as control and co-cultured on mitomycin c-treated 3t3 feeder layer, on the amniotic membrane (am) without nitrocellulo...

Neither Kellogg7 nor Belding' in their papers on the biology of V. mercenaria give a description of spermatogenesis occurring in this animal, and until the present time the general features of this process in dams have not been described. In the case of some other lamellibranchiate mollusks, more information on the development of the gonad and gamete formation is available. Hoek' described the ...

BACKGROUND Phthalate esters have been shown to cause reproductive toxicity in both developing and adult animals. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to assess long-term effects of maternal exposure to Di (2-ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP) on reproductive ability of both neonatal and adult male offspring. MATERIALS AND METHODS 60 female rats randomly divided in four equal groups; vehicle control ...
