In vitro effects of aqueous extract of unfermented rooibos on human spermatozoa
(Wiley, 2022)
The inability to conceive is a baleful experience for thousands of couples worldwide. Among different well-known reproductive techniques, medicinal plants have been utilized to treat male infertility. Medicinal plants, ...
Differential sensitivity of two endothelial cell lines to hydrogen peroxide toxicity: Relevance for in vitro studies of the blood–brain barrier
(MPDI, 2020)
Oxidative stress (OS) has been linked to blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction which in
turn has been implicated in the initiation and propagation of some neurological diseases. In this study,
we profiled, for the first ...
Quantitative sperm characteristics of Tankwa goats with special reference to hyperactivated motility
(South African Society for Animal Science, 2020)
Computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA) is an automated and objective method of evaluating
structural (e.g. morphology) and functional sperm parameters (e.g. motility and hyperactivation). Sperm
hyperactivation is essential ...
The paracrine effect of hypoxic and normoxic cancer secretion on the proliferation of brain endothelial cells (bend.3)
(MDPI, 2022)
: Background: This study aimed to investigate the disruption of cell cycle phases of bEnd.3
cells exposed to cancer paracrine secretion. Cancer cells have been reported to use the secretion
of paracrine factors to ...
Endocrine contribution to the sexual dysfunction in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease and the role of hyperprolactinemia
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2021)
In this study, we investigated the prevalence of sexual dysfunction among males with advanced chronic kidney disease and the effect of treating hyperprolactinemia among these patients. In this prospective study, patients ...
Comparative study of the antioxidant constituents, activities and the gc-ms quantification and identification of fatty acids of four selected helichrysum species
(MDPI, 2022)
Helichrysum Mill. (Asteraceae) is a plant genus comprising distinctively of aromatic plants
of about 500–600 species. Since most of these plants have not been previously studied, extensive
profiling helps to validate ...
Functional landscape of SARS-CoV-2 cellular restriction
(Cell Press, 2021)
A deficient interferon (IFN) response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been implicated as a determinant of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). To identify the molecular ...
Data Management Plans in the genomics research revolution of Africa: Challenges and Recommendations
(Elsevier, 2021)
Drafting and writing a data management plan (DMP) is increasingly seen as a key part of the academic research process. A DMP is a document that describes how a researcher will collect, document, describe, share, and preserve ...
Characterization and Toxicity of Hypoxoside Capped Silver Nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2022)
The reducing potential of plant extracts in the green synthesis of nanoparticles has been associated with their phytochemicals. Although pharmacologically inactive, a norlignan diglucoside “hypoxoside” (HP) occurs in large ...
Association among sperm chromatin condensation, sperm DNA fragmentation and 8-OHdG in seminal plasma and semen parameters in infertile men with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia
(Wiley, 2021)
The present study aimed to investigate the clinical role of standard sperm diagnosis
parameters (sperm concentration, motility, morphology) as well as aniline blue staining of histones, 8-OHdG, TUNEL assay were performed ...
