TL;DR: Acrylamide cause harmful effect on the reproductive organ structure, fertility and cause extensive DNA damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes.

TL;DR: The gene expression of antioxidant enzymes by hemp seed extracts in human hepatoma (HepG2) cells is determined by studying the activity of these enzymes in response to the presence or absence of polypeptide A in hepatoma cells.

TL;DR: The report suggests that increased male age is associated with a decline in semenVolume, i.e. there has been a genuine diminution in semen volume over the past 33 years.

TL;DR: Prolonged exposure to 50 Hz EMF has an adverse effect on male fertility and significantly decreased the diameter of the seminiferous tubules and increased number of seminiferus tubules per unit area of testes.

TL;DR: The present protocol is an efficient method for the rapid multiplication, flowering and conservation of Ipomoea sepiaria, an important ethanomedicinal plant.

TL;DR: It may be concluded that concentration sperm during one year storage in liquid nitrogen resulted in similar concentration storage as long as six years, however, the viability and motility sperm thawed storage inLiquid nitrogen during six years was lower than storage on the 1 and 2 years.

TL;DR: The result of present study indicates that the melatonin protects seminal and antioxidant profiles varied in different seasons, semen quality also varied from different seasons and was highest in spring and lowest in summer season.

TL;DR: The results of present experiment suggested that the aqueous-ethanolic (1:1) extract of fruit of T. chebula exerted a significant anti-spermatogenic effect in male rat.

TL;DR: Owing obtained the positive result, method of thawing was developed which increases the indicators of motility, survival and fertilizing capacity of bull semen.

TL;DR: Findings supports that EGCG attenuates Fl toxicity in testis through Nrf2 activation and significantly improved antioxidant status and reduced the oxidative stress and pathological changes in testes.

TL;DR: The results suggest that hydro alcoholic extract of C. dichotoma leaves possess significant antifertility activity, which is consistent with the literature report in folk medicine of this plant in fertility regulation.

TL;DR: In this article, a reproducible protocol for a critically endangered fern, Pteris tripartita (P tripartit) was developed through spore culture, where the spore derived gametophytes were grown in a half strength MS medium which sub-cultured after three months to MS medium containing growth regulators like BAP, Kinetin and GA3 with 3% sucrose.

TL;DR: It is proved that lauric acid was able to antagonize the up-regulatory effect of IFN-γ on Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 and VCAM-1 expressions in THP-1 macrophages, indicating that l Lauric acid may be an anti-inflammatory therapeutic and prophylaxis agent for atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: Collection of semen at two days intervals is recommended for enhancing fertility in artificial insemination of duck, and the methylene-blue reduction test, along with spermatozoa count and initial motility estimates were reported to be better indicator of semen quality.

TL;DR: SG1002 may reverse oligoasthenozoospermia and seems to be a more potent antioxidant than resveratrol, which is a natural-occurring polyphenol, and hydrogen sulfide.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that obesity is detrimental to sperm parameter in rats possibly through increased testicular temperature as a result of a rise in fat deposition.

TL;DR: Genistein prohibits the increase in proinflammatory cytokines, NF-κB, and estrogen receptor-β expression in a mice model of endometriosis.

TL;DR: Sperm quality include motility, viability and membrane integrity were lower after centrifugation, whereas DNA fragmentation after incubation in the IGF-I complex medium also was lower compared to that of specimens in the BO and BO + IGF-Icomplex media.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the curcumin and andrographolide combination produces greater antifertility effects and thus can play a vital role in fertility control.

TL;DR: There is a need to carry out more research on reproduction in Indian Bactrian camel as they have become major attraction of tourists in Nubra valley and has become an important source of livelihood for the people who inhabit high altitude regions.

TL;DR: A rapid HPLC-MS/MS method has been developed for the identification of phytoestrogens and other flavonoids from an Ayurvedic proprietary medicine, considered to play an important role in the prevention of cancers, heart disease, menopausal symptoms and osteoporosis.

TL;DR: The daily intake of P. alliaceum did not produce acute toxicity to 50mg/kg which may be interpreted as toxic signs or biological damage, but liver and renal function changes at dosages of 100 and 200 mg/kg; however, the reduction ability of white blood cells count could be used as a basis for specific studies on the treatment of patients with leukemia.

TL;DR: The objective is to investigate the differential of protein expression in CCl4 induced mice treated with lycorine to find out if this change in expression is related to disease-related cell death or simply a down-regulation in normal mice.

TL;DR: The effects of CE on reproductive system were persistent 90 days after the end of exposure, and the weights of the testis and epididymis were lower.

TL;DR: There is a need for cohort studies designed to unravel this link between abnormal microflora and FGR, in order to enable preventive actions to protect these small babies from severe damage and death by early screening and treatment.

TL;DR: The present data indicate the abilities of l -NAME to ameliorate nicotine-induced spermatotoxic effects in male rats via a mechanism dependent on the circulating testosterone level.
