Large Overlap Between the Intestinal and Reproductive Tract Microbiomes of Chickens
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Recent work characterized the chicken reproductive tract (oviduct) microbiome composition and its similarity to the egg and chick microbiomes. However, the origin of the oviduct microbiome has not been addressed yet. Here, we characterized the microbiome

Progesterone-Induced Sperm Release from the Oviduct Sperm Reservoir
Cells, 2022 In mammalian females, after sperm are deposited in the reproductive tract, a fraction of sperm migrates to the lower oviduct (isthmus) and forms a sperm storage site known as the functional sperm reservoir.

Effects of spermatozoa–oviductal cell coincubation time and oviductal cell age on spermatozoa–oviduct interactions [PDF]
Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 2013 The oviduct plays a crucial role in sperm storage, maintenance of sperm viability and sperm transport to the site of fertilisation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of oviductal cell culture passage number, oviductal cell age and spermatozoa–oviduct coincubation times on gene expression in oviductal cells.

Scientific Reports, 2023 When entering the oviduct for fertilisation, spermatozoa come into contact with the oviduct fluid (OF) and can bind to luminal epithelial cells in the isthmus to form a sperm reservoir.

A Comparative View on the Oviductal Environment during the Periconception Period
Biomolecules, 2020 The oviduct plays important roles in reproductive events: sperm reservoir formation, final gamete maturation, fertilization and early embryo development.

Hyperactivation is sufficient to release porcine sperm from immobilized oviduct glycans
Scientific Reports, 2022 Fertilizing sperm are retained by adhesion to specific glycans on the epithelium of the oviduct forming a reservoir before sperm are released from the reservoir so fertilization can ensue.

Journal of Investigative Surgery, 1988 Oviductal fluid was collected from 23 dairy cows following cannulation of the oviduct in 38 procedures utilizing silastic catheters. Standing laparotomy in the caudal abdomen enabled exteriorization of the ipsilateral ovary, oviduct, and uterine horn tip.

Anandamide levels fluctuate in the bovine oviduct during the oestrous cycle. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Mammalian oviduct acts as a reservoir for spermatozoa and provides an environment in which they may compete for the opportunity to fertilize the oocyte. Whilst in the oviduct spermatozoa undergo capacitation essential for fertilization.

Adhesion to oviduct glycans regulates porcine sperm Ca2+ influx and viability.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Before fertilization, sperm bind to epithelial cells of the oviduct isthmus to form a reservoir that regulates sperm viability and capacitation. The sperm reservoir maintains optimum fertility in species, like swine, in which semen deposition and ...
