Role of ANO1‐Expressing PDGFRα+ Smooth Muscle Cells in Generating Spontaneous Phasic Contractions of the Rodent Epididymis

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Spontaneous phasic contractions (SPCs) in the epididymal duct play an important role in transport and maturation of sperm. In proximal cauda of the rat epididymis, platelet‐derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα)‐positive smooth muscle cells (SMCs) generate ANO1 Ca2+‐activated chloride channels (CaCCs)‐dependent spontaneous ...

Obesity Is an Independent Risk Factor for Oligozoospermia, With Co‐Existing Hyperglycemia Exacerbating Risks of Asthenozoospermia and Elevated Sperm DNA Fragmentation

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Metabolic health plays a critical role in maintaining male fertility and may influence offspring health. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate metabolic indicators into the clinical assessment of male fertility. However, the relationships between different metabolic abnormalities and semen quality remain incompletely understood.

Occupational Physical Activity Is Negatively Associated With Semen Quality

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Lifestyle factors have been associated with semen quality and have been implicated in the reported global decline in semen parameters. Moderate physical activity has been linked to improved semen quality; however, the association between occupational physical activity and semen quality is limited.

Sperm Selection Using Micro Swim‐Up: Improvement of Chromatin Integrity Compared to Density Gradient Centrifugation

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Selecting high‐quality spermatozoa with optimal nuclear integrity is a crucial step in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). While density gradient centrifugation (DGC) is widely used, the associated centrifugation steps may induce cell stress, potentially damaging sperm DNA.

ZAN, IZUMO1, and TMEM95 Protein Domains Identify the Physiological Status of the Sperm

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Infertility is a growing concern, which has led to an increase in the use of assisted reproductive techniques, involving in vitro sperm capacitation. Nonetheless, the optimal capacitation time remains a matter of debate, and it is unknown whether it has an impact on the localization of key membrane proteins.
