Studies have implicated oxidative stress-sensitive signaling in the pathogenesis of stress-
induced male infertility. However, apart from oxidative stress, gonadotropin inhibitory …

Stress often occurs during toxicity studies. The perception of sensory stimuli as stressful
primarily results in catecholamine release and activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary …

For more than 3 decades it has been known that serum thyroid hormone levels drop during
