Expression of peroxiredoxin-6 in the epididymal microenvironment and sperm of sheep [PDF]
Archives Animal BreedingSperm complete their maturation in the epididymis. Mature sperm are highly sensitive to oxidative damage. Peroxiredoxin-6 (PRDX6) is an important antioxidant enzyme.

Expression of selenium-independent glutathione peroxidase 5 (GPx5) in the epididymis of Small Tail Han sheep [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2018 Objective Selenium-independent glutathione peroxidase (GPx5) is specifically expressed in the mammalian epididymis and plays an important role in protecting sperm from reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation damage.

Different expression of B7-H3 in the caput, corpus, and cauda of the epididymis in mouse
BMC Urology, 2017 Background B7-H3, a member of the B7 family of the Ig superfamily of proteins, has been detected in the epididymis, which is a storage organ related to sperm maturation.

An atlas of human proximal epididymis reveals cell-specific functions and distinct roles for CFTR
Life Science Alliance, 2020 A coordinated process of maturation in the lumen of the epididymis is required for sperm to fertilize an egg. A single cell atlas of the human proximal epididymis reveals key cell-specific functions, regional specialization, and two roles for CFTR ...

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.

Malacoplakia of the Epididymis [PDF]
Korean Journal of Urology, 2013 Malacoplakia is a chronic inflammatory disease. The disease mainly affects the urinary bladder, although involvement of extravesical sites is increasingly being documented. Most frequently involved is the urinary tract, particularly the urinary bladder, although the testis, epididymis, lungs, bone, colon, prostate, female genital organs, and ...

The Expression and Localization of ZO-1, Claudin 1, and Claudin 4 in the Pig Epididymis
Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2019 Tight junctions are constituents of the blood–epididymis barrier that play roles in regulating the unidirectional transcellular transport of ions, water, and solutes to maintain optimal conditions for sperm maturation and storage. Claudin 1 (Cldn1) and 4
