Mitochondrial dysfunction has been proposed to play a pivotal role in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). To address whether mitochondrial dysfunction precedes the development of AD pathology, we conducted mitochondrial functional analyses in female triple transgenic Alzheimer's mice (3xTg-AD) and age-matched nontransgenic (nonTg). Mitochondrial dysfunction in the 3x...

background: sexual dysfunction (sd) is a common reported problem in patients with multiple sclerosis (ms). aims: to examine frequency and distribution of sd dimensions and to determine whether sd is related to various clinical and demographic variables in female patients. materials and methods: a total of 271 ms women (age: 19-50 years) participated in this cross-sectional study. we used a stru...

reproductive abnormalities cause major losses of sheep production. abattoir materials were used todetermine the extent of reproductive wastage. reproductive tracts were collected from 524 ewes slaughtered at urmia slaughter-house in urmia, northwest of iran, during a period of 12 months. overall, 30.10% of the ewes examined were pregnant. a total of 149 (28.44%) tracts developed acquired reprod...

background: besides the well-known adverse effects of valproate (vpa), disorders related to male reproductive functions have been reported. furthermore, only a limited number of previous studies have reported the relationship between vpa dose and impairment of the hormonal axis and semen quality. a patient with reversible changes that occurred in the sperm parameters after a dose increment of v...

BACKGROUND Hypertension is a major public health epidemic that is highly associated with sexual dysfunction in both men and women. Despite its high prevalence, clinical and animal literature on the underlying mechanisms of sexual dysfunction in hypertensive women is remarkably limited. METHODS Using a well-established rodent model of renovascular hypertension-the 2-kidney, 1-clip (2K1C) Goldb...

s The thyroid dysfunction, which is quite prevalent in the population, affects many organs including male and female gonads, thus interfering with the human reproductive physiology. Prolactin has suppressive effect on the pituitary –ovarian axis and may result in amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea due to anovulatory cycles. Hyperprolactinemia is a common problem in reproductive dysfunction, affecting...

In recent years, social and cultural trends have resulted in women delaying childbirth, thereby leading to reproductive senescence as a growing public health problem. We discuss potential etiologies for age-related female reproductive decline. We bring supportive evidence to the central role of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxygen radicals in the process of aging in general and reproductive sen...
