Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Sperm acquire fertility ability during epididymal maturation mainly in the epididymal caput and corpus, and once matured, are stored in the epididymal cauda. During storage, interactions with cauda epididymosomes (epEVs) may influence sperm fertility potential; however, the role of such interactions on sperm fertility remains ...

Identification of multiple claudins in the rat epididymis
, 2006 The luminal environment of the epididymis is highly specialized with specific proteins, ions, pH, etc. required for sperm maturation. Tight junctions between epididymal principal cells are responsible for the formation of the blood-epididymal barrier ...

Can Hormonal Therapy Improve the Outcomes of mTESE in Patients With Non‐Obstructive Azoospermia?
Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Non‐obstructive azoospermia (NOA) represents the most severe form of male infertility. Hypogonadism is common in NOA patients, and normal testosterone (T) levels are considered essential for spermatogenesis. Fertility‐preserving hormonal therapy (FpHT) has been proposed to optimize hormonal milieu and improve sperm retrieval rates ...

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.Acute hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian axis suppression is common in anti‐NMDAR encephalitis, yet ovarian function and fertility recover favorably even in teratoma‐associated cases, supporting reassuring long‐term reproductive prognoses. Abstract Introduction Anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor (anti‐NMDAR) encephalitis predominantly affects women of ...
