title = "Effects on sperms{\textquoteright} quality of selegiline in aged rats",
abstract = "Background: Selegiline is used to treat Parkinsonian patients. Other indications of its use have recently been discovered. Objective: Scouting special and beneficial side effects of selegiline treatment. Method: Two-year old male Wistar rats were daily treated with 0.25 mg/kg of selegiline s.c. (subcutaneous injection). The rats were sacrificed following a four-weeks{\textquoteright} treatment. Results: Mass of testes, number of sperms, progressive motility of sperms, and their viability definitely increased. Conclusion: Selegiline can successfully be used to stop/counterbalance certain symptoms of aging.",
