Effect of Tadalafil on Testicular Histology and Sperm Parameters in An Experimental Varicocele Model

Andrologia, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Objectives Varicocele is a common cause of male infertility, often associated with oxidative stress and impaired testicular blood flow. This study aimed to evaluate whether orally administered tadalafil, through its cGMP‐mediated vasodilatory and antioxidant effects, can protect against histological damage and altered sperm parameters in a rat model of

Seminal Extracellular Vesicles LGALS3BP as a Potential Biomarker of Varicocele‐Associated Infertility in TMT‐Based Quantitative Proteomic Analysis

Andrologia, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The proteomic analysis of seminal plasma (SP) is a powerful tool for screening and identifying potential novel biomarkers of male infertility. However, the proteomic composition of seminal extracellular (SE) vesicles in varicocele (VC) is still poorly characterized.
