Reproductive toxicology testing is essential to safeguard public health of current and future generations. Traditional toxicological male reproduction has focused on evaluating substances for acute toxicity the reproductive system, with fertility assessment as a main endpoint infertility adverse outcome. Newer studies in last few decades have significantly widened our understanding what represents an event toxicology, thus changed perspective constitutes toxicant, such endocrine disrupting chemicals that affect offspring intergenerational manner. Besides or congenital abnormalities, outcomes can present increased likelihood various problems offspring, including metabolic syndrome, neurodevelopmental like autism cancer predisposition, among others. To enable toxicologic accurately represent population, designs need model changing population characteristics exposure circumstances. Current trends increasing importance human include paternal age, associated decline nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), higher prevalence obesity, both which are factors study design should account for.

Numerous factors affect reproduction, including stress, diet, obesity, the use of stimulants, or exposure to toxins, along with heavy elements (lead, silver, cadmium, uranium, vanadium, mercury, arsenic). Metals, like other xenotoxins, can cause infertility through, e.g., impairment endocrine function and gametogenesis excess production reactive oxygen species (ROS). The advancement nanotechnology has created another hazard human safety through metals in form nanomaterials (NMs). Nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit a specific ability penetrate cell membranes biological barriers body. These ultra-fine particles (<100 nm) enter body respiratory tract, food, skin, injection, implantation. Once absorbed, NPs are transported various organs blood lymph.

Additionally, probable reproprotective quercetin (QTN) against Al2O3NPs and PbAc co-exposure in male Sprague Dawely rats were assessed. (100 mg/kg b.wt.), (50 QTN (20 b.wt.) orally administered for 60 days. Then, spermiogram, histopathological examinations testis accessory glands, immunohistochemical detection androgen receptors (AR) tumor necrotic factor alpha (TNF-α) achieved. Moreover, serum levels sex hormones antioxidant indices estimated. The results showed that caused significant sperm abnormalities, oxidative stress, changes. Furthermore, testosterone, LH, FSH significantly decreased, while estradiol increased. co-exposed group had more obvious disturbances. co-administration reversed PbAc-induced alterations, reduced defenses, altered AR TNF-α immune expression tissues. Conclusively, evoked dysfunction by inducing injury inflammation. However, oral dosing effectively mitigated negative suppressing stress inflammation improving defense system.
