Assessing the role of claudins in maintaining the integrity of epididymal tight junctions using novel human epididymal cell lines [PDF]
, 2010 The epididymis is responsible for posttesticular sperm maturation. Sperm maturation is dependent on the luminal microenvironments along the epididymis.

The Effects of Different Cryoprotectants on Stallion Epididymal Spermatozoa [PDF]
, 2011 Any event that makes semen collection or mating impossible, such as death, castration, or injury, may terminate a stallion’s breeding career. Fortunately, stallion sperm which are capable of fertilization can be harvested from a region adjacent to the ...

Gene expression profiling and its relevance to the blood-epididymal barrier in the human epididymis [PDF]
, 2007 The luminal environment along the epididymal duct is important for spermatozoal maturation. This environment is unique and created by the blood-epididymal barrier, which is formed by tight and adhering junctions.

Host defense functions of the epididymal amyloid matrix
, 2022 The epididymal lumen is an immunologically distinct environment. It maintains tolerance for the naturally antigenic spermatozoa to allow their maturation into functional cells while simultaneously defending against pathogens that can ascend the male ...

Endogenous retinoids in rat epididymal tissue and rat and human spermatozoa [PDF]
, 1993 Recent work has demonstrated high levels of retinoid binding proteins in rat epididymis, and a lumenal retinoic acid binding protein has been purified. These findings suggested that vitamin A may be involved in spermatozoal maturation in the epididymis ...

Epididymal protein markers and fertility
, 2016 The last stages of male gamete differentiation occur outside the gonad in a specific surrounding environment controlled by the epididymal epithelium. All the fundamental characteristics of a fertile spermatozoon are acquired sequentially during transit ...

Molecular evolution of epididymal lipocalin genes localized on mouse chromosome 2
, 2015 We previously identified two murine secretory proteins, mE-RABP(Lcn5) and mEP17(Lcn8), belonging to the lipocalin family and specifically expressed in the epididymis. The genes are contiguous and localized on mouse chromosome 2.

Epididymal Metastasis from Carcinoma of the Prostate [PDF]
, 2004 Epididymal Metastasis from a primary carcinoma of the prostate gland is a rare but recognised phenomena. We describe a case of such metastasis which, unlike previous reports, presents as a painful epididymal mass. Therefore it is important for urologists
