In this study, the comparative effects of half, normal and double clinical doses of artesunate; artesunate/sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine; artesunate/amodiaquine and their combinants [sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine and amodiaquine] on the semen parameters namely total sperm count, motility, morphology, debris and premature/primordial cell count of the male guinea-pig were investigated. The agents caused ...

Sertoli cell proliferation is attenuated before attaining puberty and the number is fixed in adult testes. Sertoli cells determine both testis size and daily sperm production by providing physical and metabolic support to spermatogenic cells. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) exposure disrupts functions of Sertoli cells causing infertility with decreased sperm count. On the other hand, lycopene ...

This study was undertaken to investigate whether there is relationship between seminal plasma transferrin and seminal parameters which included sperm count, motility and morphology. The study included 100 male subjects in the age group of 23-41 yrs including 7 proven fertility, 6 post-vasectomised and 87 subjects were of idiopathic infertility. Estimation of seminal plasma transferrin concentra...

Lithium has a significant impact in reducing the symptoms of bipolar mania but in long periods of use with therapeutic doses can cause several disorders in various organs including the reproductive system. In this study on the sperm concentration and motility has been examined. Nowadays, infertility coming from incapability of male system, particularly from sperm disorder is very common. Some t...
