Teratogenicity of Valproic Acid: Can Reverse its Possible Effects on Testicular Development with Vitamin E?

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
Epilepsy is the chronic non-communicable disease of the nervous system most prevalent in the world. Valproic acid (VPA) is one of the most used drugs in the treatment of epilepsy but with various side effects. One of the organs that can be affected is the testis, where it has been seen that men treated w...

Effects of Bisphenol A on Male Gonadal Tissue of Viviparous Fish: Histopathological Evidence in Goodea atripinnis

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: BPA is a multifunctional endocrine disruptor with ubiquitous presence in aquatic ecosystems. The Mexican Central Plateau is an area severely impacted by pollution, inhabited by endemic viviparous fish. However, efforts to understand the effects of BPA on native species such as Goodea atripinnis ...

Immunohistochemical Localization of Glucose Transporter GLUT1 and GLUT3 in the Testes of some Mammals

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: Glucose has an essential role in the proliferation and survival of testicular tissue. Glucose transporters (GLUTs) are responsible for glucose uptake across cell membranes. In the present work, two main isoforms GLUT1 and GLUT3 were investigated in the testes of Laboratory mouse (BALB/c), Lesser...

Histogenesis of the Gubernaculum During Testis Descent in the Goat Fetus (Capra marghoz)

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: Testicular descent is a complex process that only occurs in mammals. The role of the gubernaculum during testicular descent has been explained mainly by its capacity for dilatation and contraction. This study tried to investigate the changes in the structure of the fibers and cells of the gubern...

Presentación atípica de histoplasmosis diseminada
Atypical presentation of disseminated histoplasmosis

La histoplasmosis es una micosis sistémica producida por una variedad de hongo dimorfo perteneciente al complejo Histoplasma capsulatum. Es una enfermedad prevalente en nuestro medio y sobre todo en pacientes viviendo con HIV con recuento de <200 linfocitos CD4/ml y con cargas virales mayores a 100.000 ...

In vivo Gonadoprotective Effects of Myricetin on Cisplatin- Induced Testicular Damage via Suppression of TLR4/NF-kB Inflammation Pathway and Heat-Shock Response

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: The aim of this study is to reveal the gonadoprotective effects of myricetin (MYC), which has many biological properties, on cisplatin (CP)-induced testicular damage in rats. For this purpose, 40 male Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups as Control (group given no treatment), MYC (group...

Efecto de la Vitamina E en Células Peritubulares de Testículos de Ratones Mus musculus Tratados con Ácido Valproico Durante el Estado Fetal y Pubertad

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
El ácido valproico (VPA) es un fármaco antiepiléptico teratógenico que, al ser administrado durante etapas tempranas del embarazo, puede producir alteraciones en el desarrollo embriofetal, las que se manifiestan tanto a nivel del sistema nervioso como del testículo. No obstante, se ha reportado que ...

The Effects of White Tea (Camellia Sinensis) and Infliximab Against Cisplatin- Induced Testicular Damage via Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis

Int. j. morphol; 41 (5), 2023
SUMMARY: Cisplatin (Cis) is an important chemotherapeutic agent used in cancer treatment. Males exposed to Cis were reported to exhibit testicular toxicity. Cis-induced testicular toxicity is mediated by oxidative stress, inflammation, testosterone inhibition and apoptosis. Accordingly, this study was co...

Effect of Clomiphene Citrate on the Ultrastructure of Testis in Albino Rats

Int. j. morphol; 41 (5), 2023
SUMMARY: The aim of the present work was to study the closer effect of clomiphene citrate on the ultrastructure of the testis of adult albino rats to provide a basis for optimizing this drug in the treatment of male infertility. The testes were removed from both groups under anesthesia and then prepared ...
