Phycocyanin Improves Reproductive Ability in Obese Female Mice by Restoring Ovary and Oocyte Quality

Crocin Improves Damage Induced by Nicotine on A Number of Reproductive Parameters in Male Mice

Objective Crocin, a carotenoid isolated from Crocus sativus L. (saffron), is a pharmacologically active component of saffron. Nicotine consumption can decrease fertility in males through induction of oxidative stress and DNA damage. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of crocin on reproductive parameter damages in male mice exposed to nicotine. MaterialsAndMethods In this experime...

The effects of unilateral varicose ovarian vein on antioxidant capacity and oocyte quality in rat ovary

Objective(s): Several researchers have reported the relationship between infertility in male and varicocele for so many years but the implication of varicocele in female patients is remains elusive. Here, we aim to examine the effects of unilateral varicose ovarian vein on antioxidant capacity and oocyte quality of rat ovary after the experimental creation of varicocele in female rats. Material...

Reproductive Performance of Mouse Oocyte after In Vivo Exposure of The Ovary to Continuous Wave Ultrasound

Lipotoxicity: impact on oocyte quality and reproductive efficiency in mammals

Lipotoxicity is characterized by excessive saturated fatty acids in the blood, increasing storage in non-adipose cells, which leads to changes in the expression pattern of genes related to endoplasmic reticulum stress (e.g., ATF4, ATF6, CHOP, and GRP78), proand anti-apoptotic pathways (e.g., Bax and Bcl-2, and protein stability, including heat shock proteins, e.g., HSP70). A negative sub-cellul...

P-172: Teratogenic Effects of Imidacloprid and Precocene1 on Reproductive Ability in Female Wistar Rats

Background: Embryonic development is one of the most critical stages in animal life. This step is strongly influenced by environmental and internal factors. The widespread uses of agricultural pesticide and their teratogenic effect on fetuses is one of the biggest health challenges facing the human. We examined the effects of Imidacloprid (IMI) and Precocene1 (PRE1) on reproductive ability in W...
