Background: Disruption in spermatogenesis and infertility occurred after local testicular heating. In this study in addition to evaluation the long term effects of experimental bilateral and unilateral cryptorchidism on sperm parameters and structure of mouse testis, the genes that involved in programmed cell death after cryptorchidism and treatment methods of decreasing the germ cells in semin...

This study was designed to investigate whether administration of zinc sulphate could improve theresponse of mouse testis to degenerative effects of short term exposure heating. Fifty-four adult male Balb/Cmice were anaesthetized and the scrotums of 36 of them were immersed for 15 min in a waterbath at 43°C.Immediately after the heating, half of the heated animals (n = 18) were injected with sal...
