Background :Reproductive endocrine disorders and sexual dysfunction are common among men with epilepsy. We investigated sexual hormone serum levels among men with newly diagnosed epilepsy, before starting any antiepileptic drug (AED), and then after starting carbamazepine (CBZ), to determine the role and effects of epilepsy versus CBZ in creating reproductive endocrine disorders.   Methods : ...

background:   objective: the purpose of this cross-sectional study was assessment of dose-response relationship between blood lead level (bll) and sex hormones levels in lead exposed male workers.   materials and methods: one hundred and thirteen male workers enrolled. all workers had at least 6 months of lead exposure and no history of diseases or conditions affecting reproductive system. bloo...

introduction toxoplasma gondii is one of the most important pathogen that has adverse effect on reproductive function. evidence acquisition recent studies revealed that infection with t. gondii not only affect female reproduction, also cause male reproductive impairment. in clinical studies, high prevalence of toxoplasmosis in sterile men has been reported. in animal models, toxoplasmosis is as...

Experimental hypothyroidism during sexual development Testes size and number of spermatozoa in adulthood are determined by postnatal/pubertal proliferation of seminal tubule somatic cell constituents, the Sertoli cells. Cessation of proliferation of Sertoli cells during early development occurs concomitantly with formation of their terminally differentiated population. Transient experimental hy...
