Background Nonyl phenol (NP) has been considered an endocrine disrupting substance causing reproductive dysfunction and increase in reactive oxygen species production in different organs including testis. vitamin E (VitE) is a potent scavenger of free radicals and is able to prevent the membrane damage mediated by free radicals The aim of this study was to elucidate the protective effects of Vi...

Experimental investigations showed that bisphenol A (BPA) affects the male reproductive tract. The male hormones level, androgen`s receptors, male reproductive organs, the testes, the epididymis, the seminal vesicles, the prostate and sperm production are affected by this substance. The objective of this study is to present the effects of bisphenol administration upon spermatogenesis at mice. D...

Their components remedies those are rich of antioxidant and vitamins can influence spermatogenesis. The aim of this project was to evaluate the effects of date palm gommule water/alcoholic extract on reproductive tissues, sex hormone and sperm quality of rat. Methods: Sev...

This study was aimed to assess the protective effects of Cornus mas fruit extract (CMFE) and vitamin E (Vit E) on sperm quality parameters in the methotrexate (MTX)-treated mice. Forty-eight young adult male mice (8-12 weeks) were randomly divided into six groups including control and test groups. The control group received normal saline orally , and the test groups were treated MTX (2...

The objective of this study was to evaluate quality of frozen-thawed bull semen processed with extenders containing vitamin C and E as antioxidants. Pooled semen's were collected from 5 bulls and diluted to a concentration of 30 × 106 sperm/mL with citrate –egg yolk (CEY) or Tris – egg yolk (TEY) extenders. The diluted semen was divided to 5 aliquots including control and 4 experimental groups....

The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of serum vitamin D levels on semen quality and testosterone levels. This is a cross-sectional conducted at Androscience, Science Innovation Center in Andrology High-Complex Clinical Laboratory Sao Paulo, Brazil, with 508 male patients, aged 18–60 years, from 2007 2017.

Infertility is a major reproductive and social problem with a worldwide prevalence of 10-15%. While 11.8-39.0% of infertility cases are attributable to the female, 15.8-42.4% is attributed to the male and 8.0-11.1% to unknown factors. The study investigated the efficacy of the single versus combined regimes of antioxidant vitamins C and E oral supplements on sperm motility in the reproductively...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the addition of antioxidants (vitamin e, β- mercaptoethanol and their combination) to semen extender.  progressive motility, viability and ph of fresh ram semen were examined. ejaculate samples were collected with artificial vagina from three ghezel-merinose rams (3 years old) during non- breeding reproduction season. semen was diluted with a...

Studies on the beneficial effects of vitamins E and D supplementation on functions of caput and cauda epididymides, their spermatozoa, vas deferens and seminal vesicle of sodium fluoride (NaF) treated (10 mg/kg body weight) male mice (Mus musculus) were carried out. The NaF treatment resulted in significant decrease in the body and epididymis weight but those of vas deferens and seminal vesicle...
