Increasing production of goats takes their reproductive potential and fertility, into consideration. Gastrointestinal obstructive lesions can set up an intestinal ischaemia-reperfusion. Testicular torsion is an established cause of testicular damage and infertility and is a form of ischaemia-reperfusion injury. This study investigates the effect of intestinal ischaemia-reperfusion (IIR) injury ...

INTRODUCTION Infertility is common among couples of child-bearing age and approximately half of known causes of primary infertility are attributable to male factor. It is still unclear whether the injurious effects of cigarette smoking on sperm characteristics and infertility are due to nicotine. Therefore, the present study investtigated the effects of orally administered of nicotine on sperm ...

Background One kind of sperm abnormality that leads to men infertility is short flagella sperms. In this defect, fibrous sheath and axoneme are disorganized, the sperms tail is short, the numbers of sperms in the semen fluid reduce and the sperms are immotile. There are also other kinds of oligoasthenoteratozospermia (OAT) disorder that causes infertility in men. A kinas anchoring protein 3 (AK...

Dr. Ahmad, in his well-written commentary (1), shared his viewpoints about the utility of sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) testing on each clinical scenario proposed in the practice recommendations by Agarwal et al. (2). He highlighted the pitfalls of relying on quantitative semen parameters in current practice and the n...

Abstract Study question What are the effect and corresponding mechanisms of chromosome chaos sperm caused by mutation MEIKIN gene on preimplantation embryo development? Summary answer Sperm induced mutations directly causes blastocyst formation failure affecting activation embryonic genome lineage differentiation. is known already In mice, Meikin a meiosis-specific kinetochore factor that plays...

The aim of our study was to evaluate the possible effects of whole-body electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure on reproduction in growing male rats. Male albino Wistar rats (2 days old) were exposed to EMF 1800 and 900 MHz for 2 h continuously per day for 90 days. Sham control was kept under similar conditions except that the field was not applied for the same period. After blood samples were col...

Introduction: Our aim was to compare the nuclear DNA integrity of the spermatozoa from infertile men with abnormal semen parameters with that from normospermic fertile men, and to evaluate the relationship between the sperm DNA integrity and semen parameters. Materials and Methods: Thirty ejaculate samples with abnormal semen analysis and 30 ejaculates with normal semen parameters were randomly...
