Spermatogenesis is an extremely active replicative process capable of generating approxi
mately 1,000 sperm a second. The high rates of cell division inherent in this process imply …

Nonylphenol is a typical endocrine-disrupting chemical that has received considerable
attention from government officials, scientists and the public due to its estrogenicity and …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are cytotoxic agents that lead to significant oxidative
damage. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a contaminant with increasing exposure to it and exerts both …

Bisphenol A, an environmental contaminant, widely used as a monomer in polycarbonate
plastics, has been shown to cause abnormalities in liver of rats and mice. The nature and …

Bisphenol A has been shown to affect the reproduction of male rats and mice. However, the
mechanism of action of bisphenol A on the epididymal sperm is not elucidated. The present …

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether bisphenol A (BPA), nonylphenol (NP)
and octylphenol (OP) induce oxidative stress in the liver of male rats and co-administration …

To study the effects of atrazine on reproductive functions and testicular and epididymal
antioxidant defense, rats were exposed to 0, 120, or 200 mg/kg body weight atrazine orally …

Oxidative stress is a state related to increased cellular damage caused by oxygen and
oxygen-derived free radicals known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). It is a serious …

Nonylphenol (NP) as an environment contaminant has been demonstrated to adversely
affect male reproduction. The main objective of this study was to evaluate NP-induced …

Maintaining the integrity of sperm DNA is vital to reproduction and male fertility. Sperm
contain a number of molecules and pathways for the repair of base excision, base …
