Reproductive system diseases pose prominent threats to human physical and mental well-being. Besides being influenced by genetic material regulation changes in lifestyle, the occurrence of these is closely connected exposure harmful substances environment. Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), characterized hormone-like effects, have a wide range influences on reproductive system. EDCs are ubiquitous natural environment present industrial everyday products. Currently, thousands been reported exhibit endocrine this number likely increase as testing for potential has not consistently required, obtaining data limited, partly due long latency many diseases. The ability avoid EDCs, especially those artificially synthesized origin, increasingly challenging. While can be divided into persistent non-persistent depending their degree degradation, recent uptick research studies area, we chosen focus pertaining detrimental effects health several that widely encountered daily life over past six years, specifically bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates (PAEs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), parabens, pesticides, heavy metals, so on. By focusing impact hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, which leads development diseases, review aims provide new insights molecular mechanisms EDCs’ damage encourage further in-depth clarify potentially EDC through various other mechanisms. Ultimately, it offers scientific basis enhance risk management, an endeavor significant societal importance safeguarding health.

Introduction and objective: Many scientific reports confirm a systematic decline in male semen parameters over the last decades. This phenomenon has been observed all parts of world, its occurrence is associated, among others, with hazardous effects some environmental factors. The factors for which adverse effect on fertility proven include water, air, soil pollution, as well electromagnetic fields ionizing radiation. aim this article was evaluation selected reproductive capacity based an analysis current reports. Review methods: A literature review carried out using three databases: PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus. search limited to period from 2015 until end December 2023. Brief description state knowledge: Environmental factors, such heavy metals, tobacco smoke, pesticides, dioxins, furans, phthalates, bisphenols, are well-tested substances that exert fertility. harmful water air pollution functions may be expected; however, not fully proven. Summary: Results obtained by many researchers published date should evoke great concern regarding quality environment we live, fears about only fertility, but also aspects human health. majority pollutants affect body causing oxidative stress through their endocrine system.

The continuous use of pesticides, such as dichlorvos, is a common agricultural and domestic practice. However, it associated with shortfalls like testicular toxicity through the induction oxidative stress-mediated signaling. On other hand, L-arginine, precursor nitric oxide, has been reported to exert antioxidant activities thus may attenuate dichlorvos-induced toxicity.

Drug residues that contaminate food and water represent a serious concern for human health. The major concerns regard the possible irrational use of these contaminants, since this might increase amplitude exposure. Multiple sources contribute to overall exposure including agriculture, domestic use, personal, public veterinary healthcare, increasing origin contamination. In review, we focus on crop pesticides drug because their extensive in modern agriculture farming, which ensures production security ever-growing population around world. We discuss with respect worldwide distribution impacts, special attention harmful effects reproduction embryo development, as well link epigenetic alterations, leading intergenerational transgenerational diseases. Among most commonly implicated causing such disorders are organophosphates, glyphosate antibiotics, tetracyclines being frequently reported. This review highlights importance finding new management strategies drugs. Moreover, due still limited knowledge inter- underlie need strengthen research field, so better clarify specific each contaminant long-term impact.

Abamectin is one of the most widely used pesticides due to its strong insecticidal and anthelmintic activities. Melatonin a neurohormone with potent antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory effects. This study aimed investigate potential ameliorative effects melatonin against abamectin-induced testicular toxicity in rats. Twenty-four rats were divided into four groups: control group (1 mL/kg/day corn oil), melatonin-treated (10 mg/kg/day), abamectin-treated (0.5 plus group. Test substances administered via oral gavage once daily for 28 days. While MDA 8-OHdG levels increased tissue treated abamectin, SOD, CAT, GPx, GST enzyme activities decreased significantly. interleukin-17 levels, TNF-α, caspase3 expression tissue, acetylcholinesterase activity decreased. At same time, serum gonadotropins (luteinizing follicle-stimulating hormones) testosterone Light microscope examinations tissues revealed severe histopathological changes, such as atrophic hyalinized seminiferous tubules, basement membrane irregularity, degeneration, spermatogenic cell loss, necrosis.

Background: Pyrethroids are natural organic compounds extracted from flowers of pyrethrums and commonly used as domestic commercial insecticides. Although it is effective in insect parasitic control, its associated toxicity, including spermotoxicity, remains a challenge globally. Currently, the available reports on effect pyrethroids semen quality conflicting, hence an evaluation detrimental pertinent.

Seminal oxidative stress has been shown to be a key factor in the development of male infertility. However, benefits infertility treatments with antioxidants such as coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) remains controversial. The aim present study was assess effects CoQ10 supplementation on semen quality, i.e., volume, total sperm number, concentration, motility, percentage progressive motility and morphology. In addition, circulating testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating (FSH), inhibin B levels were evaluated. A systematic review meta-analysis randomized controlled trials (RCTs) performed quality serum reproductive hormones. We conducted strategic literature search Cochrane, EMBASE, PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web Science databases collected only RCTs. data RCTs then meta-analyzed according PRISMA guidelines.
