This study found that finasteride may affect Ca 2+ signalling in human sperm by interacting with the PGE 1 -binding site, but its impact on fertilization requires further investigation.

In this animal study, researchers reported that acetaminophen increased LH and FSH hormones in male rats, with high doses affecting sperm production negatively, while avocado leaf extract reduced sperm motility and viability, suggesting potential adverse effects on male reproductive health.

A thorough initial check-up is essential before sperm banking to ensure the best chance of preserving good quality sperm.

This review highlights the limited effectiveness of current unlicensed treatments for male subfertility, like hormonal therapy and antioxidants, and emphasizes new drug discovery methods such as high-throughput screening and drug repurposing to improve treatment development for male subfertility.

This article reviews the effects of various medications on male fertility, noting that while commonly used drugs can mostly have reversible impacts, conclusive human evidence remains limited.

The April 2014 issue of "Fertility and Sterility" discussed various reproductive health topics, including hormone therapy benefits, sperm and genetic factors in male infertility, and the link between PCOS and diabetes.

This review discusses the physiological basis, history, and current development of male hormonal contraception, highlighting its potential risks and benefits, but reports no new research findings.

This study observed that herbal feed supplementation in Frieswal breeding bulls improved semen volume and motility, while significantly lowering dihydrotestosterone levels, suggesting a potential mechanism for enhancing semen quality.

This study found that Origanum vulgare extract improved testicular structure and function in mice against finasteride-induced damage by enhancing antioxidant defense and modulating gene expression related to apoptosis.

This case report suggests that discontinuing low-dose finasteride in a 48-year-old man led to a significant reduction in sperm DNA fragmentation index, indicating a possible link between finasteride and sperm DNA damage.

This review discusses various substances that can impact male fertility and stresses that products should be confirmed 'sperm-safe' through rigorous testing, not assumptions; it reports no new study results.

This study found that stem cell transplantation effectively reduced acute inflammation-induced testicular damage, suggesting potential for cell-based therapies in addressing male infertility.

This review assesses the current literature on COVID-19's effects on male sexual and reproductive health, highlighting significant research gaps and providing guidance for patient counseling.

In this study, the authors concluded that COVID-19 may not cause direct long-term harm to testicular function, but temporary indirect effects could occur, suggesting a possible delay in pursuing parenthood post-recovery.

This review indicates that many former FDA category D and X systemic dermatologic medications may negatively impact male fertility, with further research needed to assess potential teratogenic effects.

This study reviews the mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 may impact male fertility, noting potential disruptions in spermatogenesis and hormone secretion, and underscores the need for follow-up in recovered men.

This study found that in male rats, hesperidin co-administration ameliorated finasteride-induced testicular toxicity by reducing oxidative stress and improving antioxidant status, sperm parameters, and enzyme activity compared to finasteride treatment alone.

Environmental factors and exposure to toxins may contribute to male infertility by affecting sperm and hormone function.

This study found that 5-aminolevulinic acid significantly improved chicken sperm motility and increased mitochondrial membrane depolarization, while decreasing ATP levels.

This special issue contains abstracts from the ASA 40th Annual Meeting, providing an overview of various studies without reporting new primary results.

This study suggests that finasteride at doses of 5 mg/kg BW or higher may adversely affect spermatogenesis and male fertility in NMRI mice.

Finasteride may improve sperm count in subfertile men with low sperm count.

This study found that discontinuing finasteride led to a significant increase in sperm counts for most men with reduced fertility, though hormone levels and other semen parameters remained unchanged.

The researchers reported that finasteride treatment in male rats may lead to changes in antioxidant enzyme activity in their offspring's epididymis, potentially affecting sperm maturation.

In this study, researchers investigated genetic variants in pharmacogenes affecting tadalafil and finasteride pharmacokinetics, finding fed volunteers had higher drug exposure than fasting individuals, but genetic variation did not significantly impact pharmacokinetics after correcting for multiple comparisons.

This review outlines the major health consequences of anabolic-androgenic steroid abuse, with a focus on sexual and reproductive issues, and suggests management prioritizes cessation and relapse prevention due to lack of robust randomized trials.

This study found that for optimal ADSC viability during short-term storage, using 10% human serum at 4°C and utilizing the cells within 2 hours is most effective.

This review found an increasing trend in research on sperm DNA fragmentation over the past 20 years, especially focusing on lifestyle factors, asthenozoospermia, and varicocele, with the TUNEL technique as a predominant method.

This collection of articles explores advancements in reproductive technologies for domestic dogs and cats, highlighting improvements like finasteride treatment for BPH in dogs and a rapid freezing method for cat sperm that enhance fertility preservation and genetic resource banking.

This review highlights that various commonly prescribed medications for chronic conditions may impact male fertility by affecting hormone secretion, sperm production, ejaculation, erectile function, and libido, although conclusive evidence is limited to specific drug groups.
