“…Hesperidin also showed the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier in an in vitro model. Infertility is one of the major health problems in life, and approximately 30% of infertilities are due to a male factor (Isidori et al, 2006;Carlsen et al, 1992). Several conditions can interfere with spermatogenesis and reduce sperm quality and production.…”

Citrus fruits have long been recognized as containing valuable sources of important nutrients which are biologically active in humans. Citrus fruits, such as oranges, contain compounds called phytochemicals that can be included into three major groups: the flavonoids, limonoids and carotenoids. The flavonoids are a group of benzopyran derivatives which occur widely in plants. The flavonoids typically consist of a benzene ring fused with the heterocyclic six-membered ring containing an oxygen atom. As citrus has an antioxidant's potential, we want to evaluating its useful effect on spermatogenesis and sperm parameters. Wistar male rat (n=30) were allocated into three groups, control (n=10) and test groups (n=20), that subdivided into groups of 2 that received citrus extract powder (400 and 600 mg/rat) for 30 consequence day. Animals were kept in standard conditions. In twentieth day the testes tissue of rats in whole groups were removed and sperm was collected from epididymis and prepared for analysis. TAC, SOD levels and percentage of sperm viability and motility in both test groups significantly increased (p<0.05) in comparison to control group, whereas, sperm concentration, morphology and testes weights in both experimental and control group were similar. The level of MDA in both extract groups were significantly decreased (p<0.05). Results revealed that administration of 600 mg/kg/day citrus extract significantly increased the TAC, SOD levels and sperm percentage, viability, motility and decreased MDA levels. This suggested that citrus may be promising in enhancing sperm healthy parameters.

“…In the present study, sperm centrifugation was selected as a method for ISA depending of the results of the Shaaban (2007) [25]. With respect to sperm functional capacity, each laboratory should determine the centrifugation force and centrifugation time that are necessary to form a manageable recovery of sperm [26]. SMART-Pro medium which invented by Fakhrildin and Flayyih (2011) [27], medium was prepared based on Ringer solution supplemented with two essential additives Sodium lactate and/or pyruvate and human serum albumin (HSA) (5% or 10%).…”

“…Varicoceles palpable in a patient lying on his back are suspected to be symptomatic ones and thus must be further investigated by ultrasound or other imaging techniques. In some studies, an improved seminal fluid and/or increased testicular volume have been observed after varicocelectomy [17,18]. The prevalence of other benign alterations in testes is much lower.…”

Objectives: Testicular cancer is the most prevalent malignant neoplasm in young men. The key problem in screening for malignant testicular tumors and their main risk factors (undescended testes and testes which descended only after medical treatment) is to reach the target group of "young men". Materials and Methods: In five different military medical centers of German Armed Forces, 1600 young draftees were investigated by a standardized interview at recruitment examination between 2001 and 2003. Results: Ninety-five percent of respondents reported that they had been palpated at testes during physical examination. The percentage of draftees not palpated at their testes varied between muster centers, but did not depend on the physician's gender. Only two draftees had refused explicitly the palpation of testes. The prevalence of observed pathologic alterations of the testes was 1.69%, including two cases of cryptorchidism, 19 of varicocele, and 6 cases with other benign alterations. Conclusions: The simple and effective examination of testes should not be restricted to draftees, but promoted by compulsory health insurance funds, offered and performed routinely by all physicians who have access to the target group of "young men".
