oligospermia/potassium

In our earlier study, we have observed that hypokalemia in langur monkeys, following gossypol acetic acid (GAA) treatment (5 mg dose level) when used as an antispermatogenic agent, and potassium salt supplementation partially maintained body potassium level of the animals. The aims of the present

A total number of 273 seminal plasma samples from normozoospermia (n = 91), oligozoospermia (n. = 50), oligoasthenozoospermia (n = 76), asthenozoospermia (n = 10) and azoospermia (n = 46) were analysed for sodium and potassium. A decreased sodium level was seen in pathological groups. A negative

A total number of 273 seminal plasma samples from normozoospermia (n = 91), oligozoospermia (n = 50), oligo-asthenozoospermia (n = 76), asthenozoospermia (n = 10) and azoospermia (n = 46) were analysed for sodium and potassium. A decreased sodium level was seen in pathological groups. A negative

Highly purified gossypol acetic acid (5 mg/day; oral) alone and in combination with potassium chloride (0.25 mg/day; oral) was tested in adult male langurs for 120 days to evaluate reversibility of its antifertility action and possible hypokalemia. The treatment resulted in severe oligospermia with

The isoprenoid pathway produces 3 key metabolites: digoxin (membrane sodium-potassium ATPase inhibitor and regulator of neurotransmitter transport), dolichol (regulates N-glycosylation of proteins), and ubiquinone (free radical scavenger). The pathway was assessed in patients with human male

Twelve Brazilian men were treated with gossypol for 1 year. The treatment schedule consisted of oral administration of 20 mg gossypol daily for 4 months, followed by a maintenance dose of 20 mg on alternate days (3 days a week), totaling 60 mg weekly for 8 months. Ten men became azoospermic at the

UNASSIGNED Infertility is described as not receiving pregnancy despite unprotected and regular sexual intercourse in a 1 yr period. It is detected by 15% of the couples. Male and female factor in the etiology may be detected in similar rates. UNASSIGNED The present study aims to investigate ion

Hexavalent chromium, an environmental contaminant, undergoes redox cycling with generation of free radicals inside the biological system. Curcumin, the yellow bioactive component of turmeric has established its antioxidant activities. The present study evaluates possible ameliorating effects of
