Value of hysteroscopy in management of unexplained infertility
Conclusion As a cause of unexplained infertility, subtle uterine abnormalities are diagnosed only during hysteroscopy and they are relatively common in infertility women. Although the presence of these abnormalities is not detected by the basic investigations for infertility, their correction seems to be necessary when infertility is desired and other infertility causes are excluded.

Clinical and endocrine features of Brazilian infertile women with or without endometriosis: A comparative cross-sectional study
Conclusions Endometriosis is highly prevalent in the Brazilian population and, dysmenorrhea is the only clinical symptom associated with the diagnosis of endometriosis. Infertile patients with endometriosis have higher levels of FSH, PRL and TSH than infertile women without endometriosis. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction)

Isoflavone maternal-supplementation during periconception period: Influence on the reproductive organs of the first generation (F1) murine weanling-stage offspring
Conclusion Results showed that maternal isoflavone-supplementation when administered at a high dose of 150 mg/kg body weight during peri-conception period can induce adverse effects on the reproductive organs of first generation (F1) murine weanling-stage offspring.

The effects of Vigna unguiculata on cardiac oxidative stress and aorta estrogen receptor-β expression of ovariectomized rats
Conclusions V. unguiculata is an alternative therapy in decreasing cardiac oxidative stress in ovariectomized rats. Besides, high dose of V. unguiculata also able to increase aorta estrogen receptor-β expression in ovariectomized rats. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction)

A study of male reproductive form and function in a rat model
Conclusions This experimental setup was successful in elucidating the physiological mechanisms involved in male reproductive function. Body weight, the weights of the testes and accessory sex organs and androgen levels were intrinsically related to basal androgen levels. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction)

Correlation between aneuploidy and blastocyst quality
Conclusion Blastocyst morphology showed a significant link to aneuploidy (P<0.05). However, grading morphology alone can not replace preimplantation aneuploidy screening. Morphology screening or other markers for embryo competence, combined with preimplantation genetic screening for 24 chromosomes may produce the best results.

Effects of seasons on enzymatic changes and cholesterol efflux in relation to freezability in Tharparkar bull semen
Conclusion It can be concluded that cryopreservation of Tharparkar bull semen in summer and winter season do not show any definite pattern in relation to seminal and biochemical profile changes and the semen can be cryopreserved in both seasons throughout the year in this prestigious Indian breed of cattle.

Effect of heat stress on pregnancy rates of crossbred dairy cattle in Terai region of Uttarakhand, India
Conclusions These results indicate that reduction in pregnancy rates of crossbred dairy cattle due to heat stress in the Terai region was evident only when both growth of the ovulatory follicle and fertilization and early embryonic development occurred in the heat stress period. In addition, the study showed that use of temperature humidity indices rather than the traditional seasonal classification could provide more accurate insights into the effects of heat stress on pregnancy rates of crossbred dairy cattle in the Terai region.

Anti-infertility significance of aqueous extract of I pomoea batatas (L.) Lam. against exposure of bisphenol A (BPA) promoted testicular toxicity in male Sprague Dawley rats
Conclusion Aqueous extract of I. batatas at the concentration of 400 mg/kg body weight/day administered orally for 45 days prevent biochemical changes and structural alterations of testis and epididymis due to bisphenol A administration. (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction)

Effect of fish meal supplementation on production and biochemical alterations in dairy buffaloes during early postpartum period
Conclusions The fish meal supplementation does not affect the observed biochemical parameters. From the study, it can be concluded that fish meal supplementation (250 g daily) do not alter either biochemical profiles or milk production and body condition of the buffaloes.
