Smoking‐induced genetic and epigenetic alterations in infertile men
(Wiley, 2018)
Male fertility rates have shown a progressive decrease in both developing and industrialised countries in the past 50 years. Clinical and epidemiological studies have demonstrated controversial results about the harmful ...
K21 compound, a potent antifungal agent: Implications for the treatment of fluconazole-resistant HIV-associated Candida species
(Frontiers, 2019-05-24)
Background/objectives: With mucocutaneous candidiasis being highly prevalent in HIV patients, the emergence of fluconazole-resistant Candida species forms a major challenge in treating and eradicating these infections. The ...
Oral health status and treatment needs of pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
(Hindawi, 2019)
During pregnancy, the oral cavity is characterised by an acidic environment and an inflammatory response brought about by vomiting and changes in hormonal levels, respectively, thereby increasing the mother’s risk of ...
Radiations and male fertility
(Springer Nature, 2018)
During recent years, an increasing percentage of male infertility has to be attributed to an array of environmental,
health and lifestyle factors. Male infertility is likely to be affected by the intense exposure to heat ...
The Coronavirus Nucleocapsid is a Multifunctional Protein
(MDPI, 2014)
The coronavirus nucleocapsid (N) is a structural protein that forms complexes with genomic RNA, interacts with the viral membrane protein during virion assembly and plays a critical role in enhancing the efficiency of virus ...
Reactive oxygen species and male reproductive hormones
(BMC, 2018)
Reports of the increasing incidence of male infertility paired with decreasing semen quality have triggered studies
on the effects of lifestyle and environmental factors on the male reproductive potential. There are ...
Reactive oxygen species and male reproductive hormones
(BMC, 2018)
Reports of the increasing incidence of male infertility paired with decreasing semen quality have triggered studies
on the effects of lifestyle and environmental factors on the male reproductive potential. There are ...
Antioxidant and apoptosis-inhibition potential of Carpobrotus edulis in a model of parkinson’s disease
(African Association of Physiological Sciences, 2018)
Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurological disorder resulting from the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. There is currently no known cure for PD, thus the search for complementary and alternative medicines ...
Determination of seminal oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) as an easy and cost-effective clinical marker of male infertility
(Wiley, 2017)
Oxidative stress (OS) is an important contributing factor to male infertility. While previous methods to measure seminal OS are time-consuming and limited to the use of freshly produced semen, oxidation reduction potential ...
Association between promoter methylation of MLH1 and MSH2 and reactive oxygen species in oligozoospermic men—A pilot study
(Wiley, 2017)
MLH1 and MSH2 are important genes for DNA mismatch repair and crossing over during
meiosis and are implicated in male infertility. Therefore, the methylation patterns
of the DNA mismatch repair genes MLH1 and MSH2 in ...
