Abstract We have recently proposed an autoimmune etiology in ∼35% of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis patients, the most frequent form observed, because they exhibit IFN-γ-secreting lymphocytes specific to prostate Ags. Interestingly, this particular group but not rest also presented striking abnormalities their semen quality. In work, we use experimental animal model on Wistar rats developed our laboratory investigate when, where, and how sperm cells from individuals are being damaged. As a...
Abstract BACKGROUND The insecticidal and repellent effects on adult Sitophilus zeamais of 12 cinnamaldehyde‐related compounds was evaluated by contact toxicity bioassays a two‐choice olfactometer. To determine non‐toxicity in mammals, body weight, serum biochemical profiles, liver physiological parameters, sperm motility, histopathological data were obtained as complementary information C57BL/6 mice treated with the best natural compound. RESULTS Based 24 h LC 95 50 values, α...
Binding of mammalian spermatozoa to the zona pellucida and induction acrosome reaction are prerequisites for successful oocyte fertilization. It has been postulated that xenobiotics released in environment as well exposure pharmaceutical medications may be associated with reproductive problems men wildlife. Examining physiological non-physiological effects particular compounds on sperm functions requires high quality in-vitro test systems. We established a reliable combined system bovine...
Our studies were performed to investigate the effects of aqueous extracts Cecropia pachystachya and Larrea divaricata. These plants are used in folkloric medicine infusion administered orally (0.76 g/kg) male Albino Swiss mice for 16 days, on drink intake, organ weight/body weight (OW/BW x 100) ratio, histology, broqueoalveolar fluid (BALF) elevated plus-maze (EPM). Feeding as well body unaffected by consumption these extracts. There no signs toxicity BALF, morbidity or mortality during...
Several studies indicate that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in defective sperm function pathophysiology. In this study we attempted to determine differentially the effects of xanthine (0.12 mM) plus oxidase (0.035 U/mL) (X+XO, a ROS promoter system), scavengers (Tiron (TIR, 15 mM); catalase (CAT, 10 micrograms/mL); dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO, 140 mM)), and X+XO on several epididymal mouse spermatozoa functional parameters, incubated NTPC medium, for 29 min. presence X+XO,...
Contents The cryopreservation of spermatozoa constitutes a valuable tool for the captive breeding management and/or threatened species. Chinchilla lanigera is species almost extinct in wild, and domestic counterpart has one most pelts world. objectives this study were to: (i) compare functional activity post‐thawed chinchilla cryopreserved at −196°C either with glycerol (G) or ethylene glycol (EG) as cryoprotectants (1 m final concentration) (ii) investigate effects incubating gametes 4 h...
In epididymal mouse spermatozoa, the effects of dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate 1 mmol/L (dbcAMP), pentoxifylline 5 (PX), and/or mastoparan 50 mumol/L (MT) were evaluated for following parameters: percentage motile cells and response to hypoosmotic shock (HOS). The gametes incubated during 80 min (A) or 200 (B) in Tyrode's medium, drugs added last 20 min. A, dbcAMP + PX (61.5 +/- 5.4%; n = 10) enhanced MT decreased significantly population (13.4 6) (control: 47.6 3.9%; 11). B,...
Although the in vitro fertilisation index is a parameter commonly employed to investigate sperm functional activity, little attention has been given occurrence of parthenogenesis. The purpose this study was at 6 h or 22 incubation: (a) cleavage-related events that occur incubated mouse oocytes, absence (parthenogenesis) presence homologous spermatozoa; (b) effect mineral oil, used assays; (c) piroxicam, prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor, on parthenogenetic rate; and (d) influence...
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect orally administered Uncaria tomentosa aqueous extracts (UTE) (Willd. ex Roem. & Schult.) DC. (Rubiaceae) during 7, 15, 30 and 90 days treatment on expression anxiety, as expressed in elevated plus maze test male Albino Swiss mice. UTE revealed an anxiogenic relation control group at 15 days, but it reversed after administration, without affecting locomotor activity or any deleterious effects overall performance animal, either for its...
