A decrease in the total number of sperm cells and reduction of spermatogonium population were observed upon cytostatic damage of spermatogenous tissue caused by single paclitaxel administration. It was established that the paclitaxel-induced damage to the testicular tissue is underlain by reduction of its regenerative potential consisting in depletion of regional precursor pool. Changes in functional activity of progenitor cells were caused not only by direct action of paclitaxel, but also by suppression of the secretory function of the tissue microenvironment.

Lepidium meyenii (Maca) is a plant that has nutritional benefits and increases the effectiveness of male reproduction. In this study, oxidative stress-exposed New Zealand rabbits were used to assess the ameliorative effects of daily Maca ingestion on testicular and epididymal tissues as well as the quality of fresh and frozen/thawed sperm. Twenty-four 40-week-old, healthy New Zealand white male rabbits were divided into four groups.

Department of Urology, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, No. 1023-1063 Shatai South Road, Baiyun District, Guangzhou, 510515, Guangdong, China.

Background: Among couples, male factors account for approximately 50% of infertility cases, with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) representing one of the most clinically common and severe categories of male infertility, affecting approximately 10-15% of patients. Currently, L-carnitine is clinically used to improve spermatogenesis by regulating Sertoli cell function. Multiple clinical trials have described the efficacy of L-carnitine in treating NOA.

Article Synopsis
  • Slow-release GnRH agonist implants are used in male dogs for contraception, and their effects are reversible, although safety concerns exist.
  • A study was conducted to investigate the impact of these implants on testicular stress and androgen receptor signaling in dogs after the implants were removed, comparing them to untreated controls.
  • Results showed both upregulation and downregulation of various proteins related to stress response and androgen receptors, indicating that GnRH implants do not increase cellular stress compared to natural breeding cycles, but more research is needed on hypoxic conditions.
