Immunohistochemical detection of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in fetal and adult bovine epididymis: Release by the apocrine secretion mode? [PDF]

, 2006
Originally defined as a lymphokine inhibiting the random migration of macrophages, the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is an important mediator of the host response to infection.

Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS I) in the buffalo epididymis

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
The localization of neuronal nitric oxide (NOS I) in the buffalo epididymis have been investigated by nicotinamide adenite dinucleotide phosphatase-diaphorase (NADPH-d) histochemichemistry to the light microscope (LM) and NOS immunoistochemistry to the ...

β-defensins and the epididymis: contrasting influences of prenatal, postnatal, and adult scenarios

Asian Journal of Andrology, 2016
β-defensins are components of host defense, with antimicrobial and pleiotropic immuno-modulatory properties. Research over the last 15 years has demonstrated abundant expression of a variety of β-defensins in the postnatal epididymis of different species.

Zika virus disrupts the barrier structure and Absorption/Secretion functions of the epididymis in mice.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Several studies have demonstrated that Zika virus (ZIKV) damages testis and leads to infertility in mice; however, the infection in the epididymis, another important organ of male reproductive health, has gained less attention.

Expression of a catalytically inactive mutant form of glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4) confers a dominant-negative effect in male fertility. [PDF]

, 2015
The selenoenzyme Gpx4 is essential for early embryogenesis and cell viability for its unique function to prevent phospholipid oxidation. Recently, the cytosolic form of Gpx4 was identified as an upstream regulator of a novel form of non-apoptotic cell ...

Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) in benign and malignant diseases [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) is described as a useful new biomarker in ovarian cancer. As HE4 is neither tumor nor organ specific, we intensively investigated the occurrence of this protein in female and male patients with various benign ...
