Anatomical Study on Domestical Fowl (Gallus domesticus) Reproductive System

Int. j. morphol; 25 (4), 2007
Lately, researchers have taken into consideration studies on birds since they represent an excellent nutritional source. There are several classical descriptions of the male reproductive tract, always aiming at establishing a correlation with shape, testicular size, age and sexual maturity. This study an...

Histopathological and Histometrical Assessment of Boron Exposure Effects on Mouse Spermatogenesis

Int. j. morphol; 25 (4), 2007
Boron is a chemical element widely used in many industrial activities. Exposure to it affects many organs in mammals, mainly reproductive male organs. This work evaluates boron effect in testis. For this purpose, 12mg Boron/L of drinking water, equivalent to Arica tap water, was given for 42 days to 85 d...

Study of the Nuclear Volume of Testicular Cells of Rats Receiving Ofloxacin Through Lactation

Int. j. morphol; 25 (3), 2007
Ofloxacin presents an ample spectrum of antimicrobial action, including combating Mycobacterium leprae, and is currently employed as a substitute when the use of rifampicin is impossible. The objective of this work was to study alterations in testicular cell nuclei of suckling rats, whose dams were submi...

Testicular Parameters and Sperm Morphology of Chinchilla Rabbit Fed With Different Planes of Soymeal

Int. j. morphol; 25 (1), 2007
The testicular parameters and sperm morphology were studied in twenty healthy Chinchilla breed bucks of rabbits fed with different planes of soybean meal. Their ages were between 6 to 10 months with their weights ranging from 1.4 to 1.9kg.The same quality of feeds was fed to each group throughout the stu...

Seasonal Variations in the Morphometric Characteristics of the Pubertal West African Dwarf Buck in its Native Tropical Environment

Int. j. morphol; 24 (4), 2006
The effects of season on the morphometric characteristics of the reproductive organs of the pubertal West African Dwarf buck in its native humid tropical environment were investigated. All morphometric characteristics as well as the derivations from both testicular and epididymal morphometry were unaffec...

Spermiogram and Morphological Characteristics in Testicular and Epididymal Spermatozoa of Large White Boar in Nigeria

Int. j. morphol; 23 (3), 2005
Ten healthy male (boar) of large white pigs aged between 6.0 and 18.0 months, were used for this study. Spermiogram and morphological characteristics were studied in testes and in the different parts of the epididymis of the boar. The objective was to study the changes that occur in testes and epididymis...

Testicular sperm results in elevated miscarriage rates compared to epididymal sperm in azoospermic patients

Säo Paulo med. j; 120 (4), 2002
CONTEXT: Several sperm retrievel techniques are available for use on azoospeermic men. Comparisons between spermatozoa retrieved from the testicles and epidymis in relation to pregnancy and miscarriage rates are not well established. OBJECTIVE: To compare pregnancy and miscarriage rates using sperm retri...

Ligation of the left renal vein in epm1-Wistar rats: functional and morphologic alterations in the kidneys, testes and suprarenal glands

Säo Paulo med. j; 115 (4), 1997
Objective: The ligation of the left renal vein (LLVR) in man is a contraversial procedure in view of the risks of lesion to the renal parenchyma. With the objective of studying the morphologic and functional alterations caused by these lesions, we conducted experimental research with rats. Material and M...
