Impaired semen quality, an increase of sperm morphological defects and DNA fragmentation associated with environmental pollution in urban population of young men from Western Siberia, Russia

PLoS ONE, 2021
Poor sperm morphology and an elevated DNA fragmentation level are considered to be related to spermiogenesis malfunctions as a result of genetic mutations and effects of environmental factors, including industrial pollution.

Redox‐Associated Renal and Male Reproductive Alterations Following Dexamethasone Exposure in Male Rats: Histopathological and Spermatological Evaluations

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dexamethasone (DEX) is widely used in clinical practice, although it may also cause oxidative stress–related damage in different tissues, including the kidney and male reproductive system. This study investigated DEX‐induced renal and reproductive injury in rats and evaluated the modulatory effect of reduced glutathione on DEX‐associated redox

Potential Neuroendocrine Disruption by Benzodiazepines and Its Impact on Male Fertility

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroactive substances have emerged as potent endocrine disruptors affecting male reproductive health through central and peripheral mechanisms. Among these, benzodiazepines, which are widely used for the management of anxiety, insomnia, epilepsy, and neuromuscular disorders, are known as GABA A (gamma‐aminobutyric acid type A) receptor ...

Low‐Level Human Epididymis Protein 4 in Seminal Plasma Is an Independent Risk Factor for Poor Semen Liquefaction: A Case Control Study

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Our work identifies a novel and significant association between low seminal levels of Human Epididymis Protein 4 (HE4) and the clinical condition of poor semen liquefaction, a common cause of male infertility. The findings are statistically robust, clinically relevant, and provide a foundational basis for future research into the mechanism by which HE4

Routine MDM2 FISH Testing and Preoperative Biopsy Reduces Recurrence Rate of Atypical Lipomatous Tumours

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although MDM2 FISH test has been increasingly used to differentiate ALT and benign lipomatous tumours, its impact on clinical outcome remains underexplored. This study investigated whether routine MDM2 FISH testing on preoperative biopsy is associated with a reduction in the recurrence risk of ALT.
