Meta‐GWAS of Pig Semen Quality Traits Reveals Conserved Genes Regulating Mammalian Fertility

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study incorporated 14 210 individuals to perform a GWAS meta‐analysis of six semen quality traits. The GWAS meta‐analysis identifies 234 GWAS loci associated with semen quality traits. The incorporation with a functional genomics resource explains potential genetic regulation of ∼40% GWAS signals underlying semen quality traits.

Effects of Diethylstilbestrol Administration on Sperm Motility and Reproductive Function in Male Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica)

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2002
The present study was undertaken to evaluating the effects of diethylstilbestrol (DES) on sperm motility and reproductive function in male Japanese quail. To do so, we have identified the method that ensures maximal quail sperm motility, i.e.

Depolarization of sperm membrane potential is a common feature of men with subfertility and is associated with low fertilization rate at IVF [PDF]

, 2016
STUDY QUESTION. Are significant abnormalities in outward (K+) conductance and resting membrane potential (Vm) present in the spermatozoa of patients undertaking IVF and ICSI and if so, what is their functional effect on fertilization success?

Mapping the Non‐Canonical Splicing Variants: Decrypting the Hidden Genetic Architecture of Idiopathic Male Infertility

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study highlights the significance of non‐canonical splicing variants in male infertility, a factor often overlooked during the analysis of high‐throughput sequencing data. Incorporating the non‐canonical splicing variants prioritization in the genetic analysis pipeline will increase the genetic diagnosis of patients with male infertility ...

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 ...

EIF5A Couples Translational Control With Transcriptional Reprogramming Through Chromocenter Reorganization During Spermiogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The translation factor Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) is essential for male fertility in mice. It supports the translation of proteins crucial for heterochromatin organization and acrosome formation. eIF5A deficiency disrupts chromocenter integrity, increases chromatin accessibility, and causes transcriptional dysregulation ...
