Background: Nanosilver (NS) contains silver nanoparticles to control infections delivered from bacteria. The NS compounds as well as being toxic to prokaryotes are highly toxic to mammalian cells. The present study was evaluated the effect of colloidal NS on leydig cells glucose transporter type I (GLUT I) expression, serum level of testosterone, germinal cells RNA damage and spermiogenesis pro...

The aim of this study was to find out the effect of fetal sex on maternal serum total testosterone level and its application for fetal sex determination. Journal of Biology and Life Science ISSN 2157-6076 2014, Vol. 5, No. 2 www.macrothink.org/jbls 59 Forty healthy pregnant (second trimester) females were recruited in the study from rural areas of district Dir lower, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakista...

background:   objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aqueous and hydro-alcoholic extracts of lettuce seed on testosterone level and spermatogenesis.   materials and methods: in this experimental study 24 adult male nmri mice weighing 20-25gr were purchased. animals were randomly divided into 4 groups: controls, hydro-alcoholic (200 mg/kg) and aqueous extracts (50, 10...

BACKGROUND Low level of testosterone may be associated with cardiovascular diseases in men, as some evidence suggests a protective role for testosterone in cardiovascular system. Little is known about the possible role of serum testosterone in response to reperfusion therapy in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and its relationship with ST-segment recovery. The present study was conduc...

Studies show that restraint stress influences male reproductive system. The main purpose of this study was to study the effects of restraint stress on serum LH, FSH or testosterone level and testes tissue in rats. Methods: Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, acutely or chronically immobilized animals of 5 in each group. In chronically or acutely immobilized groups, animals were...

Background: The relation between coronary artery disease (CAD) and the levels of serum androgen has been revealed in various population studies. The Gensini coronary scoring system is used to evaluate the degree of coronary stenosis, taking into account its location and producing a numerical score. The aim of the study was to explore the association between serum testosterone levels and both th...

Background: Formaldehyde is widely used in industry and in medicine as tissue fixative and disinfectant. It contains reactive molecules which have been known for its cytotoxic effects. In the present study, the probable protective properties of Rosa damacena aquatic extract, against the harmful effects of formaldehyde was evaluated by consideration of sperm count, motility, viability, morpholog...

Osteocalcin (Ocn) and testosterone play important roles in male skeleton. However, the concentrations of serum osteocalcin and testosterone have never been systematically compared between populations with and without primary male osteoporosis, a common skeletal disorder in adult males. We searched the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library for relevant studies. A meta-analysis was performed to co...

The effect of short term (12 weeks) physical exercise on serum total testosterone level was evaluated in 30 young male adults, aged 18-27 years (mean age 21.67±2.26 years). These medical students, having sedentary life style underwent heavy exercise by attaining heart rate 125-150 beats/min on bicycle ergometer for 15 min on alternate day basis amounted to 670 kilopond metre per minute work don...

BACKGROUND The association between testosterone level and the components of metabolic syndrome remains controversial. Relevant studies from Sub-Saharan Africa are few and incohesive. OBJECTIVES The current study was designed to investigate the level of testosterone in patients with both diabetes and hypertension and the association of low testosterone with metabolic syndrome in these patients...
