Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractOzone Therapy: Overview of its Potential Utility in Male ReproductionZaher Merhi, Ali Bazzi, Rajean Moseley-LaRue et al.Ozone (O3), a highly water-soluble inorganic molecule, is a gas made of three atoms of oxygen (O) with a cyclic structure. Ozone can be produced by medical generators from pure oxygen after passing through a high voltage gradient. Ozone therapy (OT) can be given in medical practice via several routes that include transdermal, intramuscular, rectal, nasal, oral, vaginal, intravenous, intra-arterial, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 4 Jan 2019 · 9,592 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOligoasthenoteratozoospermia and Necrozoospermia: A Study of Sperm Na+, K+-ATPase α4 and Plasma Membrane Ca2+-ATPase 4 RegulationSilvia W. Lestari, Dessy Noor Miati, AsmarinahThe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) and necrozoospermia are the extreme sperm abnormalities in male infertility. These sperm abnormalities may be related to the imbalance of ion transport which mediated by the ion-transporting P-type ATPases, such as Na+, K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase. Until now, there is limited data about the activity of Na+, K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase in sperms in the OAT and necrozoospermia samples. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 3 Aug 2018 · 11,273 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenotype Screening of Bovine Brachyspina in Taiwan Holstein CowsChun Hsuan Chao, Yi Ming Chen, Kuo Hua LeeThis study analyzed carrier frequencies of the genetic defect bovine brachyspina (BS) in the Holstein cows in Taiwan. In total, 1688 cows from 31 herds were included in the analysis, performed using the Igenity-Prime 50K single-nucleotide polymorphism chip. Of the 1688 cows, 68 (5.09%) were BS carriers (BY), a frequency lower than that reported in Taiwan previously. In Taiwan, the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 14 Aug 2020 · 6,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractβ-carotene Supplementation Increases Progesterone Concentration and Glutathione Peroxidase Activity Following Alternative Progesterone Primed Oestrous Synchronization Protocol in GoatsDominic Lado Marino Gore, Khoboso Christina LehloenyaThe present study evaluated the effect of β-carotene supplementation and oestrous synchronization protocol on ovarian activity and fertility of Saanen does during the breeding season. The supplemented group received 100 mg β-carotene during the breeding and all does were synchronised with Controlled Internal Drug Release dispenser (CIDR) and injected with cloprostenol at CIDR withdrawal. One group of does were injected … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 8 Aug 2020 · 6,903 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForensic Relationship between ATP6 Gene and Sperm Motility in a Saudi PopulationSafa A.M. Elsanousi, Murid Javed, Hamad Sufyan, Sayed A.M. AmerApproximately 600 bp of ATP synthase subunit 6 mitochondrial gene (ATP6) were amplified and sequenced for 110 semen samples collected from infertile and normal Saudi men inhabiting Riyadh province. These data were analyzed in order to identify the Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with male infertility. Six silent substitutions G8697A, G8856A, T8889C, T8952C, C9075T and C9060A were recorded with one … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2020 · 7,622 accessesView PDFCite

Group 1A, couples had no symptoms but presented with subinfertility; Group 1B, the subfertile couples were positive for either Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) or Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU); Group 2, couples … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 11 Jan 2017 · 8,409 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSperm DNA Fragmentation and Apoptosis Levels: A Comparison of the Swim up and the Density Gradient Centrifugation Methods for Sperm PreparationSilvia W. Lestari, Triyana Sari, Dwi A. PujiantoThis study investigated the efficiency of two sperm preparation methods, namely, density gradient centrifugation and the swim-up method, in selecting spermatozoa based on the DNA fragmentation index and the apoptosis levels. Fifteen semen samples from infertile couples underwent sperm preparation in this study. The Makler® counting chamber and Eosin Y staining were used to analyse the sperm concentration, motility and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 14 Nov 2016 · 7,422 accessesView PDFCite
