Background: Exposure to glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone (Dex) leads to numerous changes in various biological systems including the reproductive system. The present study investigates the efficacy of curcumin (Cur), an active component of turmeric, to attenuate Dex-induced spetmatogenic defects in the mouse testicles. Materials and Methods: A total of 32 male mice were divided into four g...

Oxidative stress is one of the important causes of the type 1 diabetes induced changes in the sperm quality. Bioflavonoids, Rutin 10 mg/Kg and Naringin 10 mg/Kg were evaluated for their protective effects on sperm parameters, oxidative stress, and histopathology of type 1 diabetic rats. Results demonstrated the reduction in sperm count, sperm motility and vitality in diabetic rats. Mass drug ad...

The human testes in cases of malignant hematopoietic tumors, especially of leukemia, were histologically examined to characterize the mode of leukemic infiltration in comparison with that of malignant lymphoma. Materials were obtained from 56 autopsy cases, composed of 47 of leukemia, 7 of reticulum cell sarcoma and 2 of lymphosarcoma. Leukemic infiltration was confirmed in 43 (19%) of all leuk...
