OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effects of obesity on the function of reproductive organs in male mice and the possible mechanism of male secondary hypogonadism (SH) in obesity. METHODS Ninety-six mice were randomly assigned to three groups: the control group, diet-induced obesity group, and diet-induced obesity resistant group for 8 weeks and 19 weeks. The effects of short- and long-term ...

abstract objective: previous studies have indicated the hyperglycemia-induce cell death in various tissues such as brain, kidneys, liver and especially in the testis. recent studies have reported that diabetes can trigger male infertility. in this study we report the histological analysis of the testis tissue after diabetes type 1 induction in wistar rats. materials and methods: at various time...

380 CMYK of pain during walking and also profuse hemorrhage after trauma. There was no evidence of entrapment syndromes like trigger finger or carpal-tunnel syndrome. On auscultation over the affected limb, no bruit was audible. However, the left testis was found to be absent (Figure 2). No mass, suggestive of an undescended testis, was palpable in the lower abdomen, inguinal canal or scrotal s...

Gunshot wound injury to the external genitalia is relatively uncommon. However, if a testis isaffected in such a case, early surgical exploration should be carried out. A 16-year-old boy presented with right testicular rupture. Tunica albugineal defect could not be closed primarily. We used a Tutoplast® processed bovine pericardium to repair the defect of tunica albuginea. At his 3-month follow...

ABSTRACT: Leishmania infantum causes canine leishmaniasis. Using parasitological and molecular analyses, we identified L. in the reproductive organs of male female dogs. histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, PCR, examined tissue samples from 8 dogs 16 diagnosed with Despite absence macroscopic or microscopic lesions these organs, observed amastigotes testis uterus. PCR sequencing tissues reveal...

objective(s):  the field of nanotechnology is rapidly expanding .the development quantum dots quantum dot (qds), show great promise for treatment and diagnosis of cancer and targeted drug delivery little data on the toxicity of qds, especially for in vivo applications, are available. as a result, concerns exist over their toxicity for in vivo applications. then, cytotoxic effects of cadmium sel...

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect CAPE on oxidative stress and apoptosis against streptozotocin (STZ)-induced damage in rat testis after diabetes. Materials methods: rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: Control animals, animals given CAPE, STZ-induced diabetic CAPE. Diabetes induced by a single intraperitoneal injection STZ (55 mg/kg). Testicular exa...
