Graphene oxide affects in vitro fertilization outcome by interacting with sperm membrane in an animal model

by

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0008622317312757#undfig1 Abstract We realized the exposure of boar spermatozoa to graphene oxide (GO) at concentration of 0.5, 1, 5, 10 and 50 μg/mL in an in vitro system able to promote the capacitation, i.e. the process that allows sperm cells to became fertile. Interestingly, we found that the highest GO concentration (5, 10 and 50 μg/mL) are toxic for spermatozoa, while the … Read more

Effects of Nano-Graphene Oxide on Testis, Epididymis and Fertility of Wistar Rats

by

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/315776736_Effects_of_Nano-Graphene_Oxide_on_Testis_Epididymis_and_Fertility_of_Wistar_Rats Abstract Nanoscale graphene oxide (NGO) has great potential in biomedicine by the virtue of its facile functionalization and tunable characteristics. Toxicity assessments have, therefore, become essential prior to its biomedical applications. The present study examined the effects of NGO exposure on male reproductive function of adult Wistar rats. Rats were exposed intraperitoneally to three … Read more
