Redox regulation of mammalian sperm capacitation
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2015 Capacitation is a series of morphological and metabolic changes necessary for the spermatozoon to achieve fertilizing ability. One of the earlier happenings during mammalian sperm capacitation is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that will ...

Gene-based genome-wide association studies and meta-analyses of conotruncal heart defects. [PDF]
, 2019 Conotruncal heart defects (CTDs) are among the most common and severe groups of congenital heart defects. Despite evidence of an inherited genetic contribution to CTDs, little is known about the specific genes that contribute to the development of CTDs ...

Behavioral mechanisms of mammalian sperm guidance
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2015 In mammals, sperm guidance in the oviduct appears essential for successful sperm arrival at the oocyte. Hitherto, three different potential sperm guidance mechanisms have been recognized: thermotaxis, rheotaxis, and chemotaxis, each of them using ...

A deficit in zinc availability can cause alterations in tubulin thiol redox status in cultured neurons and in the developing fetal rat brain [PDF]
, 2011 Zinc (Zn) deficiency during early development can result in multiple brain abnormalities and altered neuronal functions. In rats, a gestational deficit of Zn can affect the fetal brain cytoskeleton, and signaling cascades involved in cellular processes ...

Rtp1p Is a Karyopherin-Like Protein Required for RNA Polymerase II Biogenesis [PDF]
, 2013 The assembly and nuclear transport of RNA polymerase II (RNA pol II) are processes that require the participation of many auxiliary factors. In a yeast genetic screen, we identified a previously uncharacterized gene, YMR185w (renamed RTP1), which encodes

Developmental regulation of the heat shock response by nuclear transport factor karyopherin-α3 [PDF]
, 2001 During early stages of Drosophila development the heat-shock response cannot be induced. It is reasoned that the adverse effects on cell cycle and cell growth brought about by Hsp70 induction must outweigh the beneficial aspects of Hsp70 induction in the

A comparative evaluation of semen parameters in pre- and post-Hurricane Katrina human population
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2015 A natural disaster leading to accumulation of environmental contaminants may have substantial effects on the male reproductive system. Our aim was to compare and assess semen parameters in a normospermic population residing in the Southern Louisiana, USA
