oligospermia/アルブミン

Ejaculation in medium increases the proportion of antibody-free spermatozoa in semen samples containing anti-sperm antibodies and thereby enhances the fertilization rate in vitro. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this technique is also beneficial in semen samples with severe

Our aim was to explore the existence of a possible relationship of sperm motility with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OH VD) levels and with ischaemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels in infertile Turkish men. A total of 30 men with nonobstructive azoospermia (no spermatozoa in ejaculate), 30 men with

210 males with idiopathic oligozoospermia or oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia were treated with tamoxifen (2 X 10 resp. 2 X 20 mg daily) over a period of five months. Investigations which were performed concomitantly revealed no significant changes in body weight, blood pressure, blood sedimentation

One hundred and twenty-eight samples of human semen, divided into four groups according to sperm counts, were fractionated on two types of columns of discontinuous gradients of bovine serum albumin (3%, 15%, or 7.5%, 17.5%). In addition to morphology and motility, protein and DNA contents of

The (6-maleimidocaproyl)hydrazone derivative of doxorubicin (DOXO-EMCH) is an albumin-binding prodrug of doxorubicin with acid-sensitive properties that demonstrates superior antitumor efficacy in murine tumor models, and has been evaluated in a phase I study. In order to establish the toxicity

A number of studies have shown a relationship between transferrin levels in seminal plasma and sperm count. In the present study, the levels of transferrin, beta 2-microglobulin and albumin were measured in 171 samples of seminal plasma (50 subjects with normal sperm count; 32 with azoospermia; 49

BACKGROUND To compare four different spermatozoa preparation methods in semen samples with respect to recovery rate, percent motility, path and progressive velocity, and nitric oxide (NO) production before and after centrifugation. METHODS Each of 36 semen specimens was diluted to 1 x 10(6)/ml and

Herein, we report the birth of two healthy babies to a woman following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using motile spermatozoa vitrified without permeable cryoprotectants. Spermatozoa (in a case of oligoasthenoteratozoospermia) were cooled in cut standard straws in human tubal fluid

BACKGROUND In patients with transient azoospermia, few sperm may be found in the ejaculate. We investigated the outcome of ICSI in patients with transient azoospermia. METHODS Records of patients with transient azoospermia referred during a 42 month period were reviewed. If only immotile sperm were

Male and female JCL : SD rats were treated intravenously with lentinan in 5% mannitol solution at dose levels of 0, 0.03, 3.0 and 30.0 mg/kg/day for 5 weeks. Rats receiving 0.3, 3.0 and 30.0 mg/kg/day showed reddening in ear, tail and scrotum and edema in legs and scrotum after day 3 of treatment.

Retrograde ejaculation is characterized by aspermia or oligospermia and results from an incompetent bladder neck, often due to a dysfunction of the internal sphincter. In almost 3 years, eight couples who suffered from infertility due to retrograde ejaculation were treated with inseminations with

We recently reported the dose-dependent therapeutic effect of ²¹¹At-NaAt in differentiated thyroid cancer xenograft models. In the present study, we evaluated the radiation-induced toxicity of ²¹¹At-NaAt using detailed hematological, biochemical, and histological analyses.

BACKGROUND The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is expressed in human spermatozoa, and VDR-knockout mice and vitamin D (VD) deficiency in rodents results in impaired fertility, low sperm counts and a low number of motile spermatozoa. We investigated the role of activated VD (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)) in human
