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 ...
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 ...
Effect of dietary selenium deficiency on the in vitro fertilizing ability of mice spermatozoa
(2008)
Selenium is an essential micronutrient formammals, being integral part of antioxidant system.The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect ofselenium deficiency on in vitro fertilization (IVF)capacity of spermatozoa and ...
Protective Effect of Resveratrol on Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress Induced by Iron/Ascorbate in Mouse Spermatozoa
(2014)
Resveratrol (RVT) is a polyphenolic compound found mainly in the grape and attributed with various pharmacological properties, among them their antioxidant activity. In the present study, we assess the antioxidant activity ...
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 ...
