Genetic etiology of Asthenozoospermia: A review
Background: Asthenozoospermia, as the most prevalent cause of male infertility, is defined as low percentage of progressively motile spermatozoa per ejaculate.

Intracellular Ca2+ threshold reversibly switches flagellar beat off and on†
Sperm motility is essential for fertilization. The asymmetry of flagellar beat in spermatozoa is finely regulated by intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i).

Non-canonical regulation of glycogenolysis and the Warburg phenotype by soluble adenylyl cyclase
Cyclic AMP is produced in cells by two very different types of adenylyl cyclases: the canonical transmembrane adenylyl cyclases (tmACs, ADCY1∼9) and the evolutionarily more conserved soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC, ADCY10).

Global metabolic responses of the lenok (Brachymystax lenok) to thermal stress [PDF]
High temperature is a powerful stressor for fish living in natural and artificial environments, especially for cold water species. Understanding the impact of thermal stress on physiological processes of fish is crucial for better cultivation and ...

The Emerging Role of Soluble Adenylyl Cyclase in Primary Biliary Cholangitis
Background: Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC; previously referred to as primary biliary cirrhosis) is a chronic fibrosing cholangiopathy with the signature of an autoimmune disease and features of intrahepatic cholestasis.

Thiol changes during epididymal maturation: a link to flagellar angulation in mouse spermatozoa?
Caput epididymal wild‐type spermatozoa and cauda epididymal spermatozoa from mice null for the adenylyl cyclase Adcy10 gene are immotile unless stimulated by a membrane‐permeant cyclic AMP analogue.
