Methamidophos alters sperm function and DNA at different stages of spermatogenesis in mice
(2014)Methamidophos (MET) is a highly toxic organophosphate (OP) pesticide that is widely used in developing countries. MET has male reproductive effects, including decreased fertility. We evaluated MET effects on sperm quality, ... -
Exposure to bisphenol A in young adult mice does not alter ovulation but does alter the fertilization ability of oocytes
(2015)"Follicle growth culminates in ovulation, which allows for the expulsion of fertilizable oocytes and the formation of corpora lutea. Bisphenol A (BPA) is present in many consumer products, and it has been suggested that ... -
Cytotoxic and Antiproliferative Effect of Tepary Bean Lectins on C33-A, MCF-7, SKNSH, and SW480 Cell Lines
(2014)For many years, several studies have been employing lectin from vegetables in order to prove its toxic effect on various cell lines. In this work, we analyzed the cytotoxic, antiproliferative, and post-incubatory effect ... -
Prevention of Aflatoxin B?-Induced DNA Breaks by ?-D-Glucan
(2015)"Aflatoxins are a group of naturally-occurring carcinogens that are known to contaminate different human and animal foodstuffs. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most genotoxic hepatocarcinogenic compound of all of the aflatoxins. ... -

Protective effect of some vitamins against the toxic action of ethanol on liver regeneration induced by partial hepatectomy in rats
(2008)AIM: To investigate the effects of vitamins (A, C and E) on liver injury induced by ethanol administration during liver regeneration in rats. METHODS: Male Wistar rats subjected to 70% partial hepatectomy were divided into ... -
Lead, Cadmium and Cobalt (Pb, Cd, and Co) Leaching of Glass-Clay Containers by pH Effect of Food
(2011)Recent studies have shown that handcrafted glass-clay containers are a health risk because they can be contaminated by heavy metals, which can be transferred to food, thus reaching the human body to potentially cause ... -
Antinociceptive, genotoxic and histopathological study of Heliopsis longipes S.F. Blake in mice
(2010)Ethnopharmacological relevance: H. longipes S.F. Blake (Asteraceae) is a Mexican plant, whose roots aretraditionally used as a condiment, as a mouth anesthetic, and as an antiparasitic. Affinin is the alkamidepresent in ... -
Decreased in vitro fertility in male rats exposed to fluoride-induced oxidative stress damage and mitochondrial transmembrane potential loss
(2008)Fluorosis, caused by drinking water contamination with inorganic fluoride, is a public health problem inmany areas around the world. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of environmentally relevantdoses of ... -
Purification, Biochemical Characterization, and Bioactive Properties of a Lectin Purified from the Seeds of White Tepary Bean (Phaseolus Acutifolius Variety Latifolius)
(2011)The present work shows the characterization of Phaseolus acutifolius varietylatifolius, on which little research has been published, and provides detailed information onthe corresponding lectin. This protein was purified ... -
Detection of Cytotoxic Activity of Lectin on Human Colon Adenocarcinoma (Sw480) and Epithelial Cervical Carcinoma (C33-A)
(2011)Lectins comprise a heterogeneous class of proteins that recognize thecarbohydrate moieties of glycoconjugates with high specificity. Numerous studies haveOPEN ACCESSMolecules 2011, 162108shown that lectins are capable of ... -
Investigation on the Protective Effect of ?-Mannan against the DNA Damage Induced by Aflatoxin B1 in Mouse Hepatocytes
(2009)Aflatoxin B1 is a contaminant of agricultural and dairy products that can berelated to mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. In this report we explore the capacity of ?-mannan (Man) to reduce the DNA damage induced by AFB1 ... -

Methyl-parathion decreases sperm function and fertilization capacity after targeting spermatocytes and maturing spermatozoa
(2009)Paternal germline exposure to organophosphorous pesticides (OP) has been associated with reproductivefailures and adverse effects in the offspring. Methyl-parathion (Me-Pa), a worldwide-used OP, hasreproductive adverse ... -
Presence, processing, and localization of mouse ADAM15 during sperm maturation and the role of its disintegrin domain during sperm egg binding
(2008)Successful fertilization requires gametes to complete several stages, beginning with maturation and transport along the male and femalereproductive tracts and ending with the interaction between the sperm and the egg. This ... -
Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Obesity
(2011)Obesity is a chronic disease of multifactorial origin and can be defined as an increase in the accumulation of body fat. Adipose tissue is not only a triglyceride storage organ, but studies have shown the role of white ...
