Blood-testis barrier (BTB) provides a suitable microenvironment for germ cells that is
required for spermatogenesis. Exposure to particulate matter (PM) is recognized to occasion …

Context: Blood–testis barrier (BTB), constituted by tight junctions (TJs), adherens junctions
and gap junctions, is important for spermatogenesis. PM2. 5 is known to impair testicular …

Particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 2.5 μm (PM 2.5) derived from
automobile exhaust can lead to serious male spermatogenesis dysfunction, but its specific …

Epidemiological studies link ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) pollution to
abnormalities in the male reproductive system. However, few toxicological studies have …

Evidence has shown that exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) contributed to poor semen
quality in males. However, the reproductive toxicity and relevant molecular mechanisms of …

Maintenance of male reproductive function depends on normal sperm generation during
which process Sertoli cells play a vital role. Studies found that fine particulate matter (PM) …

Fine particle matter (PM) is correlated with male reproductive dysfunction in animals and
humans, but the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. To investigate the toxic …

This work characterizes the effects of ambient levels of urban particulate matter (PM2. 5)
from the city of Sao Paulo on spermatogenesis using mice exposed during the embryo–fetal …

Exposure to ambient fine particular matter (PM2. 5) has been clearly associated with male
reproductive disorders. However, very limited toxicological studies were carried out to …

Fine particulate matter (PM2. 5)-induced male reproductive toxicity arouses global public
health concerns. However, the mechanisms of toxicity remain unclear. This study aimed to …
