SOURCE-LINKED STUDY SUMMARY
Amphora Coffeaeformis Extract as a Novel Therapeutic Agent against Gamma Radiation-Induced Infertility in Male Rats.
Abstract summarized · Quality not appraised
- Studied
- Whether an Amphora coffeaeformis algal extract improved reproductive injury after gamma radiation.
- Who / model
- Male Wistar rats given whole-body gamma radiation followed by oral extract for 21 days, compared with irradiated and nonirradiated controls. The abstract does not give group sizes.
- Studied dose & schedule
- Dose and schedule have not yet been extracted for this summary.
- Found
- Compared with radiation alone, extract treatment improved testicular weight, tissue appearance and semen measurements. Sperm motility recovered from 0.00 percent to 70.66 percent, and testosterone rose from 0.67 to 2.43 ng/mL.
- Limits
- These results concern recovery from severe radiation injury in rats. They do not establish fertility or testosterone benefits in healthy people.
