nifedipine and Infertility, Male

nifedipine has been researched along with Infertility, Male in 4 studies

Nifedipine: A potent vasodilator agent with calcium antagonistic action. It is a useful anti-anginal agent that also lowers blood pressure.

Infertility, Male: The inability of the male to effect FERTILIZATION of an OVUM after a specified period of unprotected intercourse. Male sterility is permanent infertility.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Prepubertal male mice were fed Ca²(+) channel blockers nifedipine and ethosuximide for 20 days at dosages below maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and assayed for gross morphological changes in the testis such as body weight, testis size and weight."3.77Effects of L- and T-type Ca²(+) channel blockers on spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis in the prepubertal mouse testis. ( Ahn, HJ; Gye, MC; Lee, JH; Lee, SJ; Min, CK, 2011)
"The treatment with nifedipine prevented the reduction of sexual behavior and the increase of plasma PRL, but did not alter the reduction of plasma testosterone and FSH and spermatogenesis of 2K/1C rats."1.34Effects of renovascular hypertension on reproductive function in male rats. ( Breigeiron, MK; Lucion, AB; Sanvitto, GL, 2007)
