The root bark of Lycium chinense (LC) has been reported to have potent antioxidant and antidiabetic properties. In the present study, we investigated the attenuative effect of LC against diabetes induced sexual dysfunction and testicular damages in animal models. Diabetic animals were treated with LC (100 and 400 mg/kg) once daily for 6 weeks. At the end of the treatment, mating behavior tests were performed and the animals were sacrificed for the determination of hormonal profile, oxidative…

Protective effects of ethyl acetate extract from Shorea roxburghii against diabetes induced testicular damage in rats
TLDR
It is suggested that the protective action of the ethyl acetate extract from Shorea roxburghii (SRE) ameliorated diabetes induced testicular damage by inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammation.
Tiliacora triandra extract and its major constituent attenuates diabetic kidney and testicular impairment by modulating redox imbalance and pro-inflammatory responses in rats.
TLDR
The protective effect of TTE and DHA against diabetes induced kidney and testicular damages may be related to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.
Impacts of garlic extract on testicular oxidative stress and sperm characteristics in type 1 and 2 diabetic rats: An experimental study
TLDR
Garlic was associated with reduced glucose, oxidative stress, IL-1 β , and iNOS gene expression and increased testosterone and sperm quality in diabetic rats, and was normalized by garlic intervention.
Early intervention with breast milk mesenchymal stem cells attenuates the development of diabetic-induced testicular dysfunction via hypothalamic Kisspeptin/Kiss1r-GnRH/GnIH system in male rats.
Vitamins combined with traditional Chinese medicine for male infertility: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
TLDR
The latest evidence for the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combined with vitamins in the treatment of male infertility is provided.
Therapeutic Effects of Xianlu Oral Solution on Rats with Oligoasthenozoospermia through Alleviating Apoptosis and Oxidative Stress
TLDR
Xianlu oral solution may be used as a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy for male infertility caused by iOAZS in clinical practice through the amelioration of testis tissues spermatogenesis and the improvement of sperm concentration and motility.
Nobiletin protects against diabetes-induced testicular injury via hypophysis–gonadal axis upregulation and amelioration of oxidative stress
TLDR
Both nobiletin doses showed protective effects against diabetes-induced testicular injury by reducing oxidative stress, hyperglycemia, inflammation, and caspase-3 and upregulating the hypophysis–gonadal axis and AR.

Beneficial effects of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide on spermatogenesis by improving antioxidant activity and inhibiting apoptosis in streptozotocin-induced diabetic male mice.
TLDR
Results demonstrate that LBP exerts protective effects on diabetes induced male spermatogenic dysfunction, which is likely to be mediated through increasing antioxidant enzyme activities and inhibiting cell death.

Beneficial effects of quercetin on sperm parameters in streptozotocin‐induced diabetic male rats
TLDR
It is concluded that QR has significant beneficial effects on the sperm viability, motility, and serum total testosterone and could be effective for maintaining healthy sperm parameters and male reproductive function in diabetic rats.
Adverse Effects of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) on Reproductive Function in Adult Male Rats
TLDR
Ingestion of rosemary by two groups of adult Sprague-Dawley rats at levels of 250 and 500 mg/kg body wt for 63 days was investigated for its effects on fertility, and markedly increased the number of fetal resorptions in female rats impregnated by group 2 males, thereby reducing their fertility.
Effect of Asparagus racemosus on sexual dysfunction in hyperglycemic male rats
TLDR
The study validates the traditional claim of using A. racemosus as an aphrodisiac herb for treating sexual dysfunction in males and shows that the deleterious effect of streptozotocin as well as alloxan induced hyperglycemic rats showed an overall reduced sexual performance.

TLDR
Treating diabetic rats with Nigella sativa and propolis methanol extract in the third and fourth groups, respectively, ameliorated all altered biochemical and pathological examinations approaching the negative control.
Quail (Coturnix japonica) egg yolk bioactive components attenuate streptozotocin-induced testicular damage and oxidative stress in diabetic rats
TLDR
QEYEM supplementation to STZ-induced diabetic rats for seven (7) consecutive weeks is a potential intervention against testicular damage in adult diabetic rats, probably by decreasing oxidative stress.

TLDR
The results demonstrated the possible effects of SeNPs in attenuating diabetes-induced oxidative damage, in particular in testicular tissue.

TLDR
Results demonstrate that Cur attenuated testicular damage in diabetic rats by decreasing oxidative stress.
