In this study, we evaluated sheep sperm quality after using Tris-citrate-fructose-based extender with and without egg yolk, a Tris-citrate without fructose and with egg yolk and the commercial extender Biladyl®, preserving diluted semen at 15 and 23°C for different times (4, 24, 48 and 72 h). The results showed that the diluents with fructose and egg yolk gave the best results of seminal quality. Moreover, the production of ROS was higher for the temperature of 23°C compared to the temperature of 15°C (control). In addition, VCL and the percentage of spermatozoa with intact acrosome decreased with temperatures of 23°C. Finally, a drastic decrease in sperm quality was observed after 24 hours of preservation for most of the parameters evaluated.

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are responsible for the majority of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), some of which are oncogenic and can cause oropharyngeal or genital cancers. The HPV prevalence at the genital level varies according to the population studied but is higher in the seminal fluid of men suffering from idiopathic infertility than in the general population. The involvement of HPV in male infertility is supported by several studies suggesting that this virus can affect sperm quality by altering sperm DNA integrity, motility, number, viability, and morphology, and by inducing the production of anti-sperm antibodies (ASAs).

Seasonal reproductive dynamics and senescence have profound impacts on male fertility, yet these processes remain understudied in scorpions. This study investigates how reproductive parameters-such as testicular mass, sperm quantity, and viability-change over the course of the reproductive season in males. We found that early-season males exhibited higher sperm quality and testicular mass compared to their older counterparts, suggesting that senescence, rather than reproductive effort, drives the decline in sperm viability.

Male infertility is a significant global health issue, comprising approx. 50% of all infertility cases. Semen cryopreservation, a critical component of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), is a method commonly used in a wide range of situations, including gonadotoxic treatments such as radiation or chemotherapy, hazardous occupational exposures, and various medical conditions.

The effects of 1008 (LP1008) on age-related cognitive impairment and skeletal muscle atrophy have been reported previously. However, its role in obesity- and age-related hypogonadism has yet to be explored. This study investigates the therapeutic efficacy of low- and high-dose LP1008 in a high-fat-diet-fed male mouse model.
