Effects of Alpha-Blocker on Daily Testicular Sperm Production and Sperm Concentration, Motility, Intraluminal Pressure and Fluid Movement in the Rat Epididymis.

Title Effect of alpha-blockers on epididymal sperm concentration, motility and testicular productivity in the rat

study the effects of low level laser diode on no production and healing of diabetic and cortisone acetate and normal wounded sd rats

nitric oxide (no) is a small molecule synthesized by most of mammalian cells with diverse biological activities including vasodilatation, host defense and wound healing. impaired wound healing is a common occurrence among diabetics and patients receiving glucocorticoid therapy. on the other hand the application of laser in biomedical area have been increased. thus, the current studies were desi...

P-85: Detrimental Effects of High Concentration Taurine on Sperm Motility and Viability

Background: Taurine regulates an unusual number of biological phenomena,including heart rhythm, contractile function, blood pressure, platelet aggregation, neuronal excitability and body temperature. It appears to be a sperm motility factor (SMF), although the mechanism that maintains motility has apparently not been elucidated. It may act by alterations in either ion transport (osmoregulation)...

Adverse effects of hydrosalpinx fluid on sperm motility and survival.

The negative impact of hydrosalpinx on IVF outcome is well recognized but some reports indicate that tubal infertility with hydrosalpinx is a heterogeneous entity and may have different effects on the outcome. The embryotoxic effects of hydrosalpinx fluid (HF) have been documented in mouse but not human embryos. This study examined the effects of HF on sperm motility and survival after various ...

Development and initiation of sperm motility in the hamster epididymis.

Hamster spermatozoa were isolated from the caput, corpus and cauda epididymidis. They were observed in culture medium at 37 degrees C with a phase-contrast microscope and their motility recorded cinematographically. About 20 p. 100 of the caput epididymidis spermatozoa were motile and moved in a confined space with no forward progression. 30 p. 100 of the corpus epididymidis spermatozoa were mo...
