Do body mass index, hormone profile and testicular volume effect sperm retrieval rates of microsurgical sperm extraction in the patients with nonobstructive azoospermia?

Urology Research and Practice, 2019
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effect of body mass index (BMI), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels and the mean testicular volume on sperm retrieval rates in microsurgical sperm extraction (microTESE) in the ...

Iqcm Is Dispensable for Male Fertility in Mice

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the experimental workflow. Iqcm is highly expressed in mice testis (left). Iqcm−/− mice were generated via CRISPR/Cas9 (second panel). Phenotypic analyses including testis/epididymis histology (H&E), sperm morphology, and litter size revealed no significant differences between Iqcm+/+ and Iqcm−/− mice (third panel).

Nanoplastics: Methods, Exposure and Effects on Domestic, Farm and Wild Animals

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nanoplastics (NPs) are synthetic polymer particles ranging in size from 1 nm to 1 μm that have been identified as a major concern for ecosystems and organisms due to their plethora of negative effects. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge relating to exposure and effects of NPs in domestic (i.e., farm ...

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

Low‐Dose Chlorothalonil Induces Testicular Injury Through Disruption of Steroidogenic Signaling in Adult Male Mice

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chlorothalonil (CHL) is a widely used organochlorine fungicide frequently detected in environmental and food matrices. Although increasing evidence indicates adverse effects in nontarget species, the mechanisms underlying CHL‐induced male reproductive toxicity remain incompletely understood.

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 ...
