Cisplatin is a commonly used drug in the treatment of solid tumors and its application is associated with testicular toxicity. The effect of candesartan in cisplatin-induced testicular toxicity and its fundamental mechanism of action were investigated. Candesartan had certainly repaired the testicular injury and ameliorated both biochemical and histopathological changes. Candesartan mitigated the gonadotoxicity induced by cisplatin via antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic actions.

Membrane alterations are among central factors predetermining cell survival during cryopreservation. In the present research, we tested some serum-/xeno-free cryoprotective compositions including dimethyl sulfoxide (MeSO) and polymers for their osmotic impact and toxicity towards testicular interstitial cells (ICs). IC survival was determined after their contact with MeSO, dextran (D40), hydroxyethyl starch (HES), polyethylene glycols (PEG1500 and PEG400), or after cryopreservation and cryoprotective agent (CPA) removal.

Background: Tramadol, an opioid analgesic, is known to induce testicular damage and impair reproductive parameters. Vitamin D3, recognized for its antioxidant and protective properties, might offer a potential protective effect against tramadol-induced testicular damage. This study observed the effects of co-administration of vitamin D3 and tramadol on serum kisspeptin levels, testicular histology, semen parameters, testosterone levels, and oxidative stress markers in male rats.

Marketed endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) have been associated with testicular tubular atrophy and decreases in male animal fertility in chronic toxicity studies in rats and dogs. Consistent with these findings, reduced sperm count has been observed in the clinical setting and is considered a potential class risk with chronic administration of ERAs. In contrast, no such effects on male animal fertility are noted with angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARB) treatment.

During avian germ cell formation, primordial germ cells (PGCs) differentiate into prospermatogonia in testicular seminiferous tubules or into oogonia in the ovarian cortex in late-stage embryos. Although estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been suggested to affect the differential fate of avian germ cells, there is currently no established method to examine the effects of EDCs on the differentiation potential of germline cells due to large amount of unidentified proteins present in avian germ cells. Regarding reliable molecular probes for the detection of germ cells that differentiated from the PGCs of Japanese quail, the prospermatogonium and oogonium, respectively, integrin beta1 (ITGB1), insulin-like growth factor 2-binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1), and stimulated by retinoic acid 8 (STRA8) were identified as marker proteins by RNA-seq and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analyses.

4-Cyano-4'-ethoxybiphenyl (EBCN) is a representative cyano liquid crystal monomer (LCM). While prior studies have documented the widespread occurrence of LCMs in diverse environmental and biological samples, research on their reproductive effects in vivo remains limited. This study employed 35-day and 70-day exposure models in mice to assess the short-term and long-term effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of EBCN on testicular health.
