Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) produced seminiferous tubular atrophy and reductions in seminal vesicle and prostate weight in 4-week-old, but not in 15-week-old rats. Di-n-pentyl phthalate (DPP) did produce atrophy in the older rats but this developed more slowly than in young animals. Coadministration of testosterone or gonadotrophins did not protect against phthalate-induced testicular tox...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of static magnetic field (SMF) during transplantation of the ovarian tissue into the testis. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, ovaries of 6- to 8-week-old female Naval Medical Research Institute (NMRI) mice were randomly divided into four groups: i. Fresh ovaries were immediately transplanted into the testicular t...

This study was aimed to identify the changes in the fine structure of the testis following chronic administration of testoviron. Thirty male adult albino rats of Wistar strain were taken in control or untreated group and thirty rats in the treated group. The animals of this group were medicated with intramuscular injection of testoviron at a dose of 1.143mg / rat in the gluteal region. The body...

Buffalo are an economically important source for meat and milk production, especially in Brazil. However, important aspects of their biology remain unknown thus far. Herein, we describe the reproductive characteristics of male Murrah buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) raised under extensive management conditions by applying biometrics associated with testicular weight. We analyzed seven males, divided i...

Aim: Olanzapine has adverse effects on sexual dysfunction. There are a limited number of studies showing that it also causes structural changes in the reproductive system. This study aimed to examine L-Carnitine testicular damage caused by terms histopathological, sperm parameters, biochemical aspects. 
 Method: A total 48 adult Sprague-Dawley male rats were used our study. Rats divided in...

The objective of this study was to determine the appropriate non-linear function describing growth of some testicular traits (testicular length, testicular diameter, scrotal circumference and scrotal length) in Norduz male lambs. Testicular characteristics at 90, 110, 130, 150, 170, and 190 days of age for all the lambs were measured. Four growth (Monomolecular, Logistic, Gompertz, and Richard’...

background : as recently some reported is investigated about relation between cold weather and testicular torsion (tt), so we decided to evaluate this hypothesis risk factor for testicular torsion in our children’s hospital. objectives : the aim of this study is to evaluate the relation between cold weather and testicular torsion in children. methods: from january 2011 todecember 2015 totally h...

background: about 10% to 15% of infertile men have azoospermia, which could be obstructive or non-obstructive. diagnostic biopsy from the testis and recently testicular sperm extraction (tese) are the most precise investigations in these patients. testicular biopsy can be done unilaterally or bilaterally. the worth of unilateral or bilateral testicular biopsy in men with azoospermia is controve...
