Expression of peroxiredoxin-6 in the epididymal microenvironment and sperm of sheep [PDF]

Archives Animal Breeding
Sperm complete their maturation in the epididymis. Mature sperm are highly sensitive to oxidative damage. Peroxiredoxin-6 (PRDX6) is an important antioxidant enzyme.

Spatio-temporal landscape of mouse epididymal cells and specific mitochondria-rich segments defined by large-scale single-cell RNA-seq

Cell Discovery, 2021
Spermatozoa acquire their fertilizing ability and forward motility during epididymal transit, suggesting the importance of the epididymis. Although the cell atlas of the epididymis was reported recently, the heterogeneity of the cells and the gene ...

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.

Testosterone and androstenedione concentrations in human testis and epididymis during the first two years of life [PDF]

, 1983
Testosterone and androstenedione were measured in testicular and epididymal tissue of 37 previously healthy infants between 1 and 24 months of age who died suddenly. In half of the patients elevated plasma levels of cortisol and androstenedione suggested

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Testicular degeneration and infertility following arbovirus infection [PDF]

, 2018
Arboviruses can cause a variety of clinical signs including febrile illness, arthritis, encephalitis and hemorrhagic fever. The recent Zika epidemic highlighted the possibility that arboviruses may also negatively affect the male reproductive tract.

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 ...
