To investigate the effect of carvacrol (CAR) on methotrexate (MTX)-induced testis damage in rats. Twenty-four male rats were equally divided into three groups: group I control treatment; group II MTX-treated; group III MTX + CAR-treated. A single dose of CAR was administered intraperitoneally to group III on the first day of the experiment and a single dose of MTX was administered intraperitone...

Testicular torsion results with the damage of the testis and it is a surgical emergency. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) is a low-molecular-weight antioxidant and potent inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of PDTC to testicular torsion-detorsion (T/D) injury. Forty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were separated into four g...

The accurate management of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) depends on identifying the individual histological tumor components. Currently available data protein expression in TGCTs are limited. human atlas (HPA) is a comprehensive resource presenting and localization proteins across tissue types diseases. In this study, we have compared from HPA with our in-house immunohistochemistry core T...

there are some reports about development of prenatal ruminants' testis. but there is not any report about it in goat; so the present study was performed on 23 goats fetuses collected from ahvaz slaughterhouse. after measuring fetuses crown rump length (crl), their approximate ages were determined. on the basis of the crl, the fetuses were divided into 6 groups. then testes were extruded ou...

objective(s): reproductive dysfunction is a consequence of diabetes. diabetes is associated with changes in testicular tissue. sesame oil contains large amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids and lignin with antioxidant activity, vitamin e, and monounsaturated fatty acid (mufa). the present study investigated the effects of sesame on testis histology and male reproductive parameters in streptoz...

levofloxacin is one of the fluroquinoline antibiotic groups, which affect on controlling infections, especially in reproductive organs. it has therapeutic use in numerous countries, but little information exists on the effects of levofloxacin on spermatogenesis when it is used for infectious treatment. the current study was designed to determine whether levofloxacin influences testis tissue and...

background: spermatogonial stem cells (sscs), a subset of undifferentiated type a spermatogonia, are the foundation of complex process of spermatogenesis and could be propagated in vitro culture conditions for long time for germ cell transplantation and fertility preservation. objective: the aim of this study was in vitro propagation of human spermatogonial stem cells (sscs) and improvement of ...

SIR,-A man aged 40 was admitted in July 1967 with a reducible right inguinal hernia and an undescended left testis. The right testis, normal in size and consistency, was present in the scrotum. Exploration of the right inguinal canal revealed a completely patent processus vaginalis with the testis inside the sac. On applying traction to the testis, an oval mass, apparently intra-abdominal, was ...

Capillary hemangiomas of the testis are extremly rare tumors. We reported a case of intratesticular hemangioma, unusually localisation of this vascular benign neoplasm. The patient was 12 year old boy, with hydrocele and a palpabile testicular mass. Scrotal sonography revealed varicocele and hydrocele in the left scrotal sac. There was a solid hypoechogenic zone 5 mm in diameter in the left tes...
