Rosiglitazone Improves Stallion Sperm Motility, ATP Content, and Mitochondrial Function1

Biology of Reproduction, 2016
Media used for equine sperm storage often contain relatively high concentrations of glucose, even though stallion spermatozoa preferentially utilize oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) over glycolysis to generate ATP and support motility. Rosiglitazone is

Sertoli Cell‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles Orchestrate Cadmium‐Induced Testicular Inflammation and Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Environmental cadmium exposure disrupts testicular homeostasis through a novel intercellular communication axis. Stressed Sertoli cells release extracellular vesicles carrying damage‐associated molecular patterns and mitochondrial fragments, which activate macrophages via TLR4/NF‐κB signaling.

Relationship between sperm progressive motility and DNA integrity in fertile and infertile men

Middle East Fertility Society Journal, 2018
Background: Progressive sperm motility was found to be predictive for in vitro and in vivo fertilization. There has been an increase in the literature of studies investigating whether DNA fragmentation could be associated with other semen parameters ...

The Landscape and Regulation of Histone Crotonylation in Mammalian Gametes and Early Embryos

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Histone crotonylation undergoes a genome‐wide transition from broad domains to canonical narrow peaks during minor zygotic genome activation (ZGA). This remodeling is required for proper major ZGA and blastocyst formation. Disruption of this transition by transcriptional inhibition, metabolic perturbation, or HDAC1 dysfunction impairs embryonic ...

Low Sperm Motility Is Determined by Abnormal Protein Modification during Epididymal Maturation

The World Journal of Men's Health, 2022
Purpose:Purpose: During epididymal sperm maturation, spermatozoa acquire progressive motility through dynamic protein modifica-tions. However, the relationship between sequential protein modifications during epididymal sperm maturation and sperm motility
