Methamphetamine (Meth), a psychoactive drug, has been shown to reduce testicular weight and decrease sperm count, indicating its potential role in contributing to male infertility. We therefore assessed Meth's effects (0.1-100 μM) on TM4 Sertoli cell viability, toxicity, and proliferation (trypan blue exclusion assay), mitochondrial activity (MA) (XTT assay), while transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) was used to examine monolayer permeability.

Police tactical group (PTG) officers respond to the most demanding and high-risk police situations. As such, PTG personnel require exceptional physical fitness, and selection for employment often evaluates fitness both directly and indirectly. While heart rate (HR) is often used to measure physical effort, heart rate variability (HRV) may be a valuable tool for measuring stress holistically.
