Thermal stress causes severe effects on the wellbeing and reproduction of cattle, including
changes in oogenesis and spermatogenesis, generating great concerns, which last for …

Testicular dysfunction, a major contributory factor to infertility, has received a lot of attention
over the recent years. Several studies have linked abnormal sperm function and morphology …

Sertoli cells (SCs) provide structural and nutritional support for developing germ cells.
Normal glucose metabolism of SCs is necessary for spermatogenesis. Melatonin could …

Improving the reproductive performance outside the breeding season could have a great
impact on the animals' breeding industry. Curcumin (CUR) is a polyphenol known for its …

In all organs, control of blood flow is important but might be particularly critical for testicular
functions. This is because of the very low oxygen concentration and high metabolic rate of …

Ongoing anthropogenic climate change has increased attention on the ecological and
evolutionary consequences of thermal variation. Most research in this field has focused on …

Heat stress (HS) diminishes the testicular antioxidant defense systems, which adversely
affect the testicular blood perfusion. Improving the testicular hemodynamics during HS …

Oxidative stress (OS) is brought on by heat stress (HS), which weakens antioxidant defense
and initiates OS. Since mitochondria are the primary source of reactive oxygen species …

Spermatogenesis is temperature-dependent, and the increase in testicular temperature
seriously affects mammalian spermatogenesis and semen quality. In this study, the testicular …

Semen quality represents a compelling factor for fertility, and delineating the normal values
has proven difficult. In the last four decades, several authors have reported a noticeable …
