Ameliorative effect of methanolic extract of Tribulus terrestris L. on nicotine and lead-induced degeneration of sperm quality in male rats.

TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of methanol extract of T. terrestris on nicotine hydrogen tartrate and lead-induced degeneration of sperm quality in male rats were investigated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Linseed oil in boar's diet during high temperature humidity index (THI) period improves sperm quality characteristics, antioxidant status and fatty acid composition of sperm under hot humid sub-tropical climate.

TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of dietary linseed oil on semen quality and antioxidant status of boars in the summer and winter seasons in sub-tropical climate was examined, in which six Hampshire crossbreed boars were fed with 90 mL linseedoil (treatment) whereas six boars of the same breed were fed 90 mL vegetable oil (control) for sixteen weeks during both season.

Development of an assay to assess the functional integrity of the human sperm membrane and its relationship to other semen characteristics

TL;DR: The hypoosmotic swelling technique to evaluate the functional integrity of the sperm membrane appears to give high repeatability and accuracy and is closely correlated to the in-vitro fertilizing ability of spermatozoa.

Conversion of alpha-linolenic acid to longer-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in human adults.

TL;DR: Stable isotope tracer studies indicate that conversion of alphaLNA to EPA occurs but is limited in men and that further transformation to DHA is very low, and capacity to up-regulatealphaLNA conversion in women may be important for meeting the demands of the fetus and neonate for DHA.

Oxidative stress and male reproductive health

TL;DR: The high prevalence of oxidative DNA damage in the spermatozoa of male infertility patients may have implications for the health of children conceived in vitro and serves as a driver for current research into the origins of free radical generation in the germ line.

Use of a Giemsa stain to detect changes in acrosomes of frozen ram spermatozoa

Watson Pf
- 05 Jul 1975 - 
TL;DR: Acrosomal structures of ram spermatozoa were prominently stained when air dried smears of diluted semen were fixed for 15 minutes in buffered formal saline and stained for 90 minutes in a 6 per cent buffered solution of Giemsa stain.
