Protective role of (onion) juice on maternal dexamethasone induced alterations in reproductive functions of female offspring of Wistar rats.

Maternal treatment with dexamethasone induces oxidative stress in the reproductive structures of offspring. Consumption of improves antioxidant status. This study was designed to evaluate the protective role of juice on maternal dexamethasone induced alterations in reproductive functions of the female offspring of Wistar rats.

Saccharum officinarum juice alters reproductive functions in male Wistar rats.

Infertility is a problem across almost all cultures and societies. Problems in the male partner, especially as a result of unhealthy dietary habits, are the commonest single group of course. Many populations, therefore, tend more toward the use of natural dietary substitutes opined to proffer less risk to reproductive functions and more health benefits.

juice protect against alterations in reproductive functions induced by maternal dexamethsone treatment during lactation in male offspring of Wistar rats.

Treatment with dams with dexamethasone during lactation has been reported to induce oxidative stress in the testis of the offspring. (Red Onion) is known to be a potent free radical scavenger. The protective role of against oxidative stress induced in testis following treatment with dexamehasone during lactation in Wistar rats was assessed.

Saccharum officinarum molasses adversely alters reproductive functions in male wistar rats.

The widely reported anti-androgenic effects of refined sugar led to the exploration of safer alternatives. molasses (SOM), a byproduct of sugar processing is gaining popularity as a substitute. This study investigated the effects of SOM and compared them to those of refined sugar on male reproductive functions.

Coconut Water Prevents Renal and Hepatic Changes in Offspring of Monosodium Glutamate-Treated Wistar Rat Dams.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a widely-consumed taste enhancer which has been implicated in the aetiology of renal and hepatic dysfunction in adults and their offspring. There is increasing evidence on the therapeutic properties of Coconut Water (CW) in kidney and liver disorders. This study investigated the effects of CW on renal and hepatic functions in offspring of MSG-fed dams.
