TL;DR: The overall BPA effects on male reproduction appear to be more harmful if exposure occurs in utero, and the regulation of BPA and BPA-related products should be reinforced, particularly where exposure during the fetal period can occur.

TL;DR: Most of the data dealing with the effects of plant extracts on mammalian reproductive functions are summarized in this review.

TL;DR: A new reliable, fast and highly sensitive method based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry has been developed and validated for the determination of 28 carbamates in aromatic herbs.

TL;DR: The results suggest that male farmers of Djutitsa (West Cameroon) are exposed to agropesticides due to improper protective tool, and this exposure may impair their reproductive function through inhibition of testosterone synthesis; probably by inhibition of testicular 17β‐ hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17HSD3) and induction of aromatase (CYP19).

TL;DR: It appears that environmental toxicants, especially heavy metals and organic chemicals of synthetic and microbiological origins, disrupt hormone production and action in the mammalian testes and thereby compromises the normal phenotypic development of male sexual characteristics, initiation and maintenance of spermatogenesis.
