Quantitative histology of the descended testis of unilateral cryptorchid bucks was compared with testis of normal bucks to evaluate the reproductive potentials of the scrotal testis in unilateral cryptorchids, using light microscopy techniques. The contralateral scrotal testes of the unilateral cryptorchids and the testes of the normal bucks contained profiles of seminiferous epithelium and eac...

For sustainable and economically viable aquaculture, it is necessary to search for alternative sources of aquafeeds. Algae have been studied because their bioactive compounds with several activities such as antioxidants. The direct incorporation the macroalgae Pelvetia canaliculata in sunflower oil increase oxidative stability biological value results waste high nutritional that may be used an ...

The effects of Tenebrio molitor larvae meal (TM) dietary inclusion in rainbow trout diet were evaluated on muscular growth using gene expression and histomorphological features liver, spleen, kidney, anterior posterior gut through histopathological analyses. Two hundred fifty-two grow-out fed four experimental diets containing increasing levels TM: 0% (TM0), 5% (TM25), 10% (TM50), 20% (TM100) c...

A 2 × 3 factorial experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of enzyme Endofeed W (EEW) at 0 and 0.05%, thyme essential oil (TEO), probiotic Primalac® (PP) and non-feed additive, on intestinal histomorphology of broilers fed wheat-based diet. Each of the 6 dietary treatments was replicated 4 times with 12 chicks each from 0 to 42 days of age. There was no interaction between enzyme and ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects vitamin E, grape seed extract and green tea with or without supplementation coated calcium butyrate in broilers based on carcass traits, some biochemical parameters, intestinal histomorphology, lipid peroxidation meat. Two hundred fifty-two one-day-old broiler chicks were divided into nine groups, one control eight experimental. Control group...

Introduction: Cyclophosphamide (CP) is used for the treatment of various cancers. In spite of its therapeutic importance, a wide range of adverse effects such as reproductive toxicity has been observed following the administration of this drug in human and experimental animals. In the current study, we have investigated the adverse effects of CP on morphology and histology of testis rats. M...

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the short term protective effect of oxytocin on testicular ischemia reperfusion injury immediately after detorsion in a rat model. Materials and Methods: Twenty adult rats were randomly divided into four groups: Control, Ischemia- Reperfusion (IR), Oxytocin and IR+ Oxytocin. Testicular ischemia was achieved by torsion of the left testis 720° ...

introduction: cisplatin is an anti-cancer drug used in chemotherapy. one of the limiting side effects of cisplatin is decreasing genital gland function, azoospermia and oligospermia. tribulus terrestris (tt) has been used as an aphrodisiac. the present study amid to investigate the protective effect of tt hydroalcoholic extract against cisplatin-induced apoptisis on testis in mice. methods: mal...

Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital malformation whereby the splenic tissue is found attached or surrounded by the testis, and presents in both continuous and discontinuous forms. Splenogonadal fusion may be misinterpreted as a primary malignant testicular or an adenomatoid tumor. Knowledge about the existence of such an entity is essential in order to preserve the testis during surgical ...

Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pPNET) is a highly aggressive small round cell tumor belonging to PNET/Ewing sarcoma family. Ovarian tumors composed of primitive neuroectodermal elements are extremely rare. Herein we reported two cases of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors of ovary in two patients with different clinical presentations. Definite diagnoses were made bas...
