Background Diabetes mellitus has a variety of structural and functional effects on the male reproductive system. Diabetes results in reduced sperm parameters and libido. The present study aims to investigate the effects of royal jelly (RJ) on reproductive parameters of testosterone and malondialdehyde (MDA) production in diabetic rats. MaterialsAndMethods This experimental study was conducted o...

In the modern world, most manufacturers try to use film coatings that have following properties: manufacturability, safety, biodegradability, and economic availability. The provided materials present results of studying effect a based on polysaccharides morphology rat liver. An experiment was carried out laboratory animals, in course its carrying morphological structure liver studied, which sho...

Many chemicals released into the environment are capable of disrupting normal sex steroid balance, including the oral contraceptive ethinyl estradiol (EE) and the plastic monomer bisphenol A (BPA). EE and BPA are reported to impair reproductive organ development in laboratory animals; however, effects of lower doses of these chemicals have been debated. The goal of the current study was to dete...

SUMMARY The c arcinogenicity of N-hydroxy-2-fluorenyl benzenesulfonamide (N-HO-2-FBS), a potent carcinogen for the young male and female rat by i.p. administration, was confirmed by p.o. administration of the compound to the adult male rat. The compound produced hepatic lesions that were macroscopically and microscopically very similar to those induced by N-hydroxy-2-fluorenylacetamide. Examina...

Male animals with more conspicuous visual and acoustic signals increase their mating success, but also increase the risk of being attacked by eavesdropping predators. In rodents, males with richer sex pheromones often have higher attractiveness to females, but whether or not the males are also at higher predation risk is poorly known. Here, we used 2 laboratory inbred strains of the rat Rattus ...

Glutathione (GSH) conjugation of trichloroethylene (Tri) to form S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl)glutathione (DCVG) has been implicated in the nephrotoxicity and nephrocarcinogenicity of Tri. Marked sex- and species-dependent differences exist, however, in the susceptibility to Tri-induced renal toxicity, with the male rat being the most susceptible. The present study, therefore, focuses on potential diff...
