Impact of body composition analysis on male sexual function: A metabolic age study
(Frontiers Media, 2023)
Metabolic Age (MetAge) and body composition analysis may reflect
an individual’s metabolic status, which is believed to influence male sexual and
gonadal functions. Although erectile dysfunction (ED) and hypogonadism ...
Impact of Varicocele Repair on Semen Parameters in Infertile Men: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(Korean Society for Sexual Medicine and Andrology, 2023)
Purpose: Despite the significant role of varicocele in the pathogenesis of male infertility, the impact of varicocele repair (VR) on conventional semen parameters remains controversial. Only a few systematic reviews and ...
The IPDGC/GP2 Hackathon - an open science event for training in data science, genomics, and collaboration using Parkinson’s disease data
(Nature Research, 2023)
Open science and collaboration are necessary to facilitate the advancement of Parkinson’s disease (PD) research. Hackathons are collaborative events that bring together people with different skill sets and backgrounds to ...
Potential for increasing folate contents of traditional African fermented sorghum gruel (Motoho) using presumptive probiotic lactic acid bacteria
(Elsevier, 2023)
Folate deficiency is commonly observed in most developing countries. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation of
cereal-based foods could be an alternative to improving folate intake. This study evaluated the possibility ...
Muscle fiber type and metabolic profiles of four muscles from the African black ostrich
(Meat Science, 2023)
Muscle fiber type, fiber cross-sectional area (CSA), enzyme activities (citrate synthase (CS), 3-hydroxyacetyl Co A dehydrogenase (3HAD), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and phosphofructokinase (PFK)) and glycogen content were ...
Unveiling the Inhibitory Potentials of Peptidomimetic Azanitriles and Pyridyl Esters towards SARS-CoV-2Main Protease: A MolecularModelling Investigation
(MDPI, 2023)
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for
COVID-19, which was declared a global pandemic in March 2020 by the World Health Organization
(WHO). Since SARS-CoV-2 main protease plays ...
A plant-produced SARS-CoV-2 spike protein elicits heterologous immunity in hamsters
(Frontiers Media, 2023)
Molecular farming of vaccines has been heralded as a cheap, safe and scalable
production platform. In reality, however, differences in the plant biosynthetic
machinery, compared to mammalian cells, can complicate the ...
Fiber type and metabolic characteristics of skeletal muscle in 16 breeds of domestic dogs
(Wiley, 2023)
The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) species comprises hundreds of
breeds, each differing in physical characteristics, behavior, strength, and running
capability. Very little is known about the skeletal muscle ...
Trends in semen parameters of infertile men in South Africa and Nigeria
(2023)
There are conflicting reports on trends of semen parameters from different parts of the globe.
However, in recent times there is dearth of information on the trend in Sub-Saharan countries.
Therefore, in this study we ...
Contaminants of emerging concern (cecs) and male reproductive health: Challenging the future with a double-edged sword
(MDPI, 2023)
Approximately 9% of couples are infertile, with half of these cases relating to male factors.
While many cases of male infertility are associated with genetic and lifestyle factors, approximately
30% of cases are still ...
