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

Morphometric study and immunolocalization of androgen receptors in epididymis during postnatal development in d"man lamb reared under arid environment in algeria [PDF]
Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2017 The aim of this study was to examine the morphometry and the immunolocalization of androgen receptors in the epididymis of D"Man lamb during postnatal development. The epididymis was collected at the slaughtering lamb, aged of 2 to 5 month. The weight of

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

The diagnostic accuracy of two human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) testing systems in combination with CA125 in the differential diagnosis of ovarian masses [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Cancer antigen 125 (CA125) is the best known single tumor marker for ovarian cancer (OC). We investigated whether the additional information of the human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) improves diagnostic accuracy.

Recent advances in the study of the structure and function of the epididymis
Exploration of ImmunologyTesticular sperm maturation is critical for establishing male fertility. Spermatozoa undergo remodeling of sperm proteins and changes in lipid and ribonucleic acid composition during transport in the epididymal ducts, which play an important role in ...
