Thermodynamic Irreversibility in Semen Transport
Abstract: Sperm ejaculation is a vital reproductive process that involves both complex biological functions and energetic mechanisms. Beyond the physiological aspects, thermodynamics offers a framework to analyze energy conversion, exergy use, and irreversibility during sperm activity. ATP provides the main source of exergy for motility, but part of this energy is inevitably lost as heat and entropy generation, reflecting inefficiencies in the process. Because heat regulation directly affects metabolic rates, motility …

The Effect of Vitamin C on the Reproductive Functions of Paraquat Intoxicated Male Albino Rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Abstract: Paraquat (PQ) is a bipyridylium herbicide applied around trees in Orchids and between crop rows to control broad-leaved and grassy weeds. Its oxidation results in the formation of superoxides and supernitrite species which causes damage to cellular components. Studies have implicated PQ as one of the pesticides that contributes to the reduction in male reproductive functions in humans and animals during exposure. This study, therefore, determined the antioxidant effect vitamin …

¬¬¬Lycopene Protects Testes and Epididymal Sperm in BPA Exposed Adult Sprague-Dawley Rats
Abstract: Bisphenol A (BPA) is ubiquitous and persistent environmental contaminant. Previous studies proved that BPA disrupt hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis and oxidative balance. Numerous studies have clearly been reported that oxidative stress leads to male infertility by affecting testes and spermatozoa. On the other hand, lycopene has beneficial role on testes and spermatozoa by reducing the oxidative stress. Therefore, this study was conducted to delineate the protective role of lycopene by acting against …

In Silico Prediction of Multitarget Mechanism of Quinoline and Its Analogs on Phosphoinositide-3-Kinase Pathway Proteins
Abstract: Objective: Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks), the target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR, PAM), are a family of enzymes that play a role in the growth, proliferation, differentiation, motility, survival, and intracellular trafficking of cells, all of which are essential for healthy cellular function and are also connected to cancer. In this study, quinoline and its derivatives were employed to analyze its inhibition activity on the phosphoinositide-3-kinase pathway. Methods: In this work, eight phytocompounds …

Role of Gastric Receptors in Gastrointestinal Disorder
Abstract: The established and potential roles of cholecystokinin1 and cholecystokinin2 receptors in gastrointestinal and metabolic diseases are analyzed, along with findings from human studies involving agonists and antagonists. While there is considerable evidence implicating cholecystokinin1R in various diseases such as pancreatic disorders, motility disorders, tumor growth, satiety regulation, and cholecystokinin-deficient states, its specific role in these conditions remains ambiguous. Conversely, the role of cholecystokinin2R in physiological (e.g., atrophic gastritis) and pathological …

Mind-Gut Connection: The Psychosomatic Effects of Stress and Emotions on Digestive System
Abstract: Stress, understood as an immediate disruption to bodily equilibrium, triggers an adaptive or allostatic response that impacts gastrointestinal function both in the short and long term. The enteric nervous system communicates in both directions with the brain through parasympathetic and sympathetic pathways, collectively forming what is known as the brain-gut axis. Unani scholars describe stress as a response to the loss of something valuable, such as an opportunity, a desired …

A Study on the Impact of Paracetamol on Male Reproductive System: A Mini Review
Abstract: Paracetamol, a widely used analgesic and antipyretic, has been studied for its potential effects on the male reproductive system. Paracetamol is a medication commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain. Research suggests that prolonged or high-dose use of paracetamol may adversely affect male fertility by disrupting hormone regulation, impairing sperm production, and reducing testosterone levels. Studies have shown that paracetamol can interfere with the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, leading to changes …

Successful Treatment of Clinical Ketosis in Dairy Cattle
Abstract: Ketosis is a post-parturient metabolic disease encountered in high yielders due to imbalance in production and feeding leading to gluconeogenesis along with formation of abnormally high levels of ketone bodies. The disorder is particularly seen within the first few weeks after calving. It arises due to a negative energy balance when energy demands for milk production exceed dietary energy intake, leading to excessive mobilization of body fat reserves and resulting …
