The male reproductive system is highly susceptible to noxious influences that can induce germ cell damage and alterations in spermatogenesis, affecting male fertility. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate ways to protect the male reproductive system. Natural products have been used for centuries by humans as therapy, being gradually re-introduced into the pharmaceutical market in recent decades. This review provides an overview of relevant bioactive compounds (curcumin, ellagic acid, vitamin C, and vitamin E) and natural products with bioactive compounds (garlic, ginger, grape, green tea, microalgae and algae, and propolis) that present great potential to protect the male reproductive system.

The urgent need to fight the COVID-19 pandemic has impressively stimulated the efforts of the international scientific community, providing an extraordinary wealth of studies. After the sequence of the virus became available in early January 2020, sa...
Background: Diabetes is associated with chronic hyperglycaemia, long-term damage, dysfunction, and organ failure. This study aims to evaluate the antidiabetic activity of the twigs of Andrographis paniculata and its toxicological markers on Streptozo...
In the race against COVID-19 for timely therapeutic developments, mass spectrometry-based high-throughput methods have been valuable. COVID-19 manifests an extremely diverse spectrum of phenotypes from asymptomatic to life-threatening, drastic elevat...
HIV-1 protease active site inhibitors are a key part of antiretroviral therapy, though resistance can evolve rendering therapy ineffective. Protease inhibitor resistance typically starts with primary mutations around the active site, which reduces in...
Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) induces the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway via TNF receptor 1 (TNF-R1). We recently reported that isopanduratin A inhibited the TNF-α-induced NF-κB signaling pathway in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells...
This paper proposes a neuro-fuzzy system to model
α-Lipoic acid (LA) has the specific absorption band at 330 nm and is quite vulnerable to UV irradiation, affording a variety of compounds including polymeric materials and hydrogen sulfide. A better understanding of the photochemical reaction of LA h...
The male reproductive system is highly susceptible to noxious influences, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, drugs, and even diseases that can induce germ cell damage and alterations in spermatogenesis. All of these factors, which are caused by...
