Climatic variables can trigger physiological, biochemical, haematological and hormonal
alterations that influence the maintenance of homeothermy and can affect production and …

Herein, we compare the different experimental regimes used to induce testicular heat stress
and summarise their impact on sperm production and male fertility. Irrespective of the …

Introduction Investigating the genetic footprints of historical temperature selection can get
insights to the local adaptation and feasible influences of climate change on long-term …

Normal spermatogenic processes require the scrotal temperature to be lower than that of the
body as excessive heat affects spermatogenesis in the testes, reduces sperm quality and …

In the past few years, bisphenol A,(BPA) an endocrine-disrupting chemical, has received
increasing attention because of its detrimental health effects. There is ample evidence to …

Research into the impacts of oxidative stress (OS), and hormonal balance on reproductive
potential has increased over the last 40 years possibly due to rising male infertility …

To facilitate temperature adjustments, the testicles are located outside the body cavity. In
most mammals, the temperature of the testes is lower than the body temperature to ensure …

Under normal conditions, to achieve optimal spermatogenesis, the temperature of the testes
should be 2–6° C lower than body temperature. Cryptorchidism is one of the common …

Purpose Varicocele is defined as a state of varicosity and tortuosity of the pampiniform
plexus around the testis caused by retrograde blood flow through the internal spermatic …

The threat posed by increased surface temperatures worldwide has attracted the attention of
researchers to the reaction of animals to heat stress. Spermatogenesis in animals such as …
