Methods: Forty-four female Wistar rats presenting five consecutive and regular estrous cycles were divided into 4 groups. The rats were fed with: a standard diet, 70% of standard diet+30% oxidized palm oil diet (OPD1), OPD1+5 g of boiled yolk egg (OPD2) and OPD1+10% sucrose (OPD3) for 125 days, respectively. During the feeding period, morphometric, estrous cycle, sexual behavior, gestation, biochemical and histomorphometric parameters were evaluated. Results: All OPDs significantly increased abdominal circumference, body mass index and Lee index coupled to an irregularity and lengthening of the estrous cycle. They significantly decreased appetite and consumption behaviours, quantic pregnancy index, fertility rate, implantation sites and index, serum progesterone and high-density lipoprotein levels, increased pre-implantation losses, anti-implantation activities, serum estradiol, triglycerides, total and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels, and impaired brain and ovaries oxidative status. Histomorphometric examinations revealed increases in the number of atresic and primary follicles and decreases in secondary, tertiary, Degraaf, total and corpus luteum follicles in ovaries coupled to a neurodegeneration of hypothalamic anteroventral periventricular neurons in the OPD groups compared to the standard diet group. Conclusions: The three OPDs induce obesity and impair the female reproductive function, especially OPD2 and OPD3. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the adverse effects of palm oil bleaching on the reproductive function in female rats, which could be useful in the management of women with obesity-related sexual dysfunction.","PeriodicalId":8564,"journal":{"name":"Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction","volume":"12 1","pages":"182 - 193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42524070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Swiss albino male mice were randomly divided into five groups with six mice in each group. Group I received normal water orally, Group II, III, IV and V received escitalopram oxalate (10 mg/kg), pumpkin seed extract (300 mg/kg) plus escitalopram oxalate (10 mg/kg), escitalopram oxalate (20 mg/kg), and pumpkin seed extract (300 mg/kg) plus escitalopram oxalate (20 mg/kg), respectively. All test doses were continuously administered orally once daily per animal body weight for 30 days and 60 days. Body weight and sexual organ weight were evaluated on day 31 and 61. Effects of pumpkin seed extract on sperm parameters, biochemical parameters and histology of testis were also investigated. Results: Escitalopram 10 or 20 mg/kg caused reproductive toxicity in male mice after 30 and 60 days of treatment. However, simultaneous administration of escitalopram oxalate (10 or 20 mg/kg) with pumpkin seed extract (300 mg/kg) attenuated escitalopram-induced testicular toxicity. Significant increase in the body weight and relative organ weight was observed. Sperm count, sperm motility and viability significantly increased (P<0.05). The histopathological alterations caused by escitalopram was also ameliorated. Conclusions: Ethanolic extract of pumpkin seeds (300 mg/kg body weight) protects again reproductive toxicity induced by escitalopram. Therefore, dietary intake of pumpkin seed extract might be useful for male patients who expose to antidepressant drug due to depression.","PeriodicalId":8564,"journal":{"name":"Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction","volume":"12 1","pages":"71 - 80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46621226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: This case control study evaluated the efficacy of the unfractionated heparin in increasing the pregnancy and implantation ratio in women with recurrent IVF-ET failures. Eighty-six women received in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) with a record of three or more previous IVF-ET failures. Participants were randomly distributed into two groups. Group A (n=43) received unfractionated heparin 5 000 IU twice daily, and group B (n=43) did not take any antithrombotic drugs. Coagulation abnormalities such as factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation, methylene tetra hydro folate reductase (MTHFR) mutation and prothrombin mutation (FII) were evaluated. Age, body mass index, basal follicular stimulating hormone, basal estradiol, duration of infertility, and number of IVF-ET failures were compared between two groups. Results: 45.0% and 17.4% of women were pregnant with and without MTHFR and prothrombin mutation, respectively, when they received unfractionated heparin treatment. The implantation rate was more in group A (12.5%) than group B (4.3%) and differences in the fertilization rate of the two groups were observed (27.7% vs. 35.9%). The clinical pregnancy rate per cycle was remarkably more in group A (30.2%) than group B (14.0%). Conclusions: Heparin is a safe and valuable treatment for patients with repeated IVF-ET failures. The clinical pregnancy and implantation rates are higher in the heparin-treated group in contrast with the control group.

All treatments lasted for 15 days, with DHEA administered subcutaneously, while vitamin E and corn oil were administered orally. After the experiment, serum samples and ovaries were harvested for biochemical, immunohistochemical, hormonal, and histological analysis. The ovarian mRNA expression of androgen receptor was analyzed by reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Results: The antioxidant and metabolic enzyme activity significantly decreased in the DHEA-treated rats compared to the control rats (P<0.05). Administration of vitamin E to DHEA-treated rats significantly decreased cytokines and malondialdehyde compared to the DHEA-treated rats. The histological analysis showed reduced atretic and cystic ovaries, increased E-cadherin and Bcl-2 expression, and reduced expression of Bax in the DHEA-treated rats co-treated with vitamin E.

Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted in an urban slums of Jodhpur city amongst 300 married women of reproductive age between March and June 2021. Semi-structured questionnaire was used to gather demographic data and information about utilization of antenatal care (ANC) services, delivery and post-partum services. Results: The majority of females were aged less than 25 years (n=195; 65.0%), married after 18 years (n=240; 80%), living in extended families (n=265; 88.3%) and with monthly family income less than 10000 rupees (n=182; 60.7%). Statistically significant associations were found between ≥4 ANC visits and educational level of secondary and above (OR 2.47, 95% CI 1.03-6.28; P=0.04), older age (OR 15.70, 95% CI 14.87–16.54 for women aged 26–35 years, OR 16.14, 95% CI 12.12–20.01 for women aged ≥36 years; P<0.01), and backward and general castes (OR 15.91, 95% CI 13.57–17.85 for backward caste and OR 8.11, 95% CI 8.07–8.26 for general category of caste; P<0.01). Seven percent of females had undergone parturition. Older age was associated with higher risks of postpartum complications (OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.01–1.57 for women aged 26-35 years, OR 3.56, 95% CI 1.29–4.69 for women aged ≥36 years; P<0.01).

Methods: Healthy male volunteers in two Japanese clinics between May 2021 and December 2021 were prospectively analyzed. Participants donated sperm twice, two days apart, in the following phases: before vaccination, 2 weeks after the first vaccine dose, and 2, 4, and 12 weeks after the second dose. Basic sperm parameters, sperm motility characteristics, and the percentage of DNA-damaged sperm were compared among the different phases. Results: Ninety-six semen samples from ten volunteers, who were vaccinated with the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine, were evaluated. There were no significant differences between any phases in basic semen findings and parameters of the sperm chromatin structure assays. Regarding sperm motion characteristics, the average linear velocity, beat-cross frequency, and sperm motility index significantly decreased after the second vaccine dose (P=0.018, P=0.003, and P=0.027, respectively), with no significant differences between any two phases by post-hoc pairwise comparisons. Conclusions: After COVID-19 mRNA vaccination, while sperm motion characteristics might fluctuate, no apparent deterioration of basic sperm parameters or sperm DNA integrity was observed.
