Egypt is anticipated to be potentially influenced by the global climate warming. Therefore, the current study aimed to evaluate the influence of age on the fertility potential of Arabian stallions during summer breeding months. Arabian horses grouped according to their age into three groups, each involved six stallions: young (5-6 years), middle (11-12 years) and old (15-20 years) age gro...

Background Morphine as a natural alkaloid (opiate) is considered as one of the problems associated with poor semen production and sperm quality. For the first time, this experimental study was carried out to evaluate the impact of intra-peritoneal injection of morphine on sperm parameters, chromatin quality and DNA integrity of spermatozoa aspirated from cauda epididymis of mice. MaterialsAndMe...

Background: Obesity increases the likelihood of various diseases, particularly heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer and infertility and dub fertility. Some studies have associated the body mass index (BMI) with reproductive parameters in men, showing that increased BMI is related to poor semen quality, decreased sperm concentration, decreased normal-m...

Acetamiprid (ACP) belonging to the neonicotinoid family used against wide array of pests in agriculture and domestic purposes. In this study, we evaluated the attenuating effects of ethanolic extract of Mangifera indica leaves (EEMI) in averting reproductive toxicity caused by ACP in male guinea pigs. Thirty male guinea pigs were randomly assigned to five treatment groups (n = 6). Grou...

Background: Propagation of race has been threatening by infertility which is a widespread impediment for human. About 50% of infertilities accounts for male Sexual dysfunction. Medicinal plants as a traditional treatment play a great role in remedies due to their accessibility, availability and affordability. Anacycluspyrethrum (AP) roots commonly known as pllitorybelongs. Tribulusterrestris (T...

Background: Reproductive dysfunction and endocrine disorders are common among men with complex partial seizures of temporal lobe origin. More than 90% of men with epilepsy have abnormal semen analysis, including decreased sperm count, abnormal morphology, and impaired motility. The aim of this study was the assay of chronic treatment with melatonin during the latent phase and chronic phase of e...

Objective(s):The aim of this study was to evaluate the oxidative status and DNA integrity in testes of wistar rat offspring exposed to omega-9 monounsaturated (MUFA) at different times of late organogenesis. Materials and Methods:Sixty female rats were divided into six groups of 10 animals. The first group served as control and received the drug vehicle, olive oil (1 ml/kg/day). The second, thi...

Background: Formaldehyde (FA) as a ubiquitous environmental pollutant is extensively used in hospitals, laboratories and many industrial settings. FA exerts adverse effects on testicular structure and sperm param eters through increasing oxidative stress. Manganese, a well-known antioxidant, can inhibit oxidative stress damages. The aim of this study was to investigate the influences manganese ...
