Diet-induced obesity alters kinematics of rat spermatozoa
Conclusions These results provided evidence that obesity is detrimental to sperm parameter in rats possibly through increased testicular temperature as a result of a rise in fat deposition. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction)

Reviewing reports of semen volume and male aging of last 33 years: From 1980 through 2013
Publication date: Available online 24 July 2015 Source:Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction Author(s): Pallav Sengupta Since several decades numerous experimental and epidemiological experiments tend to establish that in humans the semen volume declines with progression of age. This literature review is intended to report the association between male age and semen volume. Review of English language-published research over the last 33 years, from January 1, 1980, up to December 31, 2013, has been conveniently constructed using MEDLINE database. Studies with inadequate numbers of subjects and case reports were exclude...

Infant mortality in twin pregnancies following in-utero demise of the co-twin
Conclusions Risks for all mortality types were lower among converted co-twins than their unconverted or same-quantile counterparts. The lower neonatal and higher post-neonatal mortality among black require future research. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction)

The effects of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF I) complex from seminal plasma on capacitation, membrane integrity and DNA fragmentation in goat spermatozoa
Conclusions Sperm quality include motility, viability and membrane integrity were lower after centrifugation. Whereas DNA fragmentation after incubation in the IGF-I complex medium also was lower compared to that of specimens in the BO and BO + IGF-I complex media.

Successful triplet pregnancy in an African with pure gonadal dysgenesis: A plus for assisted reproduction
We present a unique case of pure gonadal dysgenesis in an ‘about to be’ married lady resident in a society where high premium and success in marriage is dependent on childbirth. With astute evaluation and counseling, assisted reproductive technology (ART) was safely and successfully used in this case with eventual triplet pregnancy and delivery. Our index experience shows that situations with compromised fertility the availability and access to ART aids effective treatment planning and births a re-invigorated hope for family life.

Recent advances on synchronization of ovulation in goats, out of season, for a more sustainable production
Publication date: June 2015 Source:Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction, Volume 4, Issue 2 Author(s): J. Simões Goats show marked progressive seasonal reproduction at latitude > 25° and reproductive management should be adapted to market demands. The present review aimed to discuss the synchronization of ovulation for timed artificial insemination concerning new insights regarding a clean, green and ethical meat and milk production. Today, the induction of ovulation during breeding season or transitions periods is mainly based on progestagens/ progesterone (P4) devices intravaginally inserted on females, at ...

Isolation and identification of phytoestrogens and flavonoids in an Ayurvedic proprietary medicine using chromatographic and Mass Spectroscopic analysis
Conclusions In the present research, a rapid HPLC-MS/MS method has been developed for the identification of phytoestrogens and other flavonoids from an Ayurvedic proprietary medicine. Phytoestrogens are considered to play an important role in the prevention of cancers, heart disease, menopausal symptoms and osteoporosis. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction)

The relationship between embryo quality assessed using routine embryology or time–lapse videography and serum progesterone concentration on the day of ovulatory trigger in in vitro fertilization cycles
Conclusions EP/follicle ≥14 mm (>0.42 nmol/L/follicle) adversely affects embryo implantation in women aged ≥35 years, but not <35 yrs. However, no adverse features were seen in the embryos from these affected cycles in terms of morphological appearance, abnormal patterns of cleavage, or morphokinetic timings.

Effects of aqueous and ethanol extract of dried leaves of Pseudocalymma alliaceum (Bignonaceae) on haematological and biochemical parameters of wistar rats
Conclusions The daily intake of P. alliaceum did not produce acute toxicity to 50 mg/kg which may be interpreted as toxic signs or biological damage, but liver and renal function changes at dosages of 100 and 200 mg/kg; however, the reduction ability of white blood cells count could be used as a basis for specific studies on the treatment of patients with leukemia.
