Article Synopsis
- Bioactive compounds like selenium and Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) are being studied for their potential to treat male infertility related to varicocele, focusing on the NLRP3 inflammasome's role.
- An experimental study on male rats showed that varicocele led to lower testosterone levels and increased apoptosis in testicular cells, alongside structural damage.
- Treatment with PDRN alone improved testicular health, but the combination of Se and PDRN showed the most significant benefits, indicating their potential as a therapeutic strategy along with surgical intervention.
Unlabelled: A unilateral posterior crossbite is a malocclusion where the low activity of the affected masseter muscle is compensated by the contralateral muscle hypertrophy. It is still unknown if, in the same condition, myogenesis with new fibre formation takes place.
Aim: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of myogenesis markers, such as Myf5 and MyoD, in masseter muscles of unilateral posterior crossbite patients.
