Abstract Photoperiod manipulation is widely used to regulate reproduction in temperate fish species, but little is known about its effects in strictly tropical species. This study evaluated whether the Emperor tetra (Nematobrycon palmeri), a tropical ornamental fish, can modulate sexual maturation in response to artificial light regimes.

, an -like gene, is essential for spermatid differentiation in the flatworm [PDF]
Background Failure of sperm differentiation is one of the major causes of male sterility. During spermiogenesis, spermatids undergo a complex metamorphosis, including chromatin condensation and cell elongation. Although the resulting sperm morphology and

Chronic Hypoxia Disrupts Spermatogenesis Through ASXL2–EZH2–Mediated Microtubule Destabilization
This study reveals the mechanism by which chronic hypoxia impairs spermatogenesis via the ASXL2–EZH2 axis, hindering the transition of spermatids from round to elongated forms. Key findings reveal that under hypoxic conditions, downregulated ASXL2 expression reduces EZH2 binding to the CEP162 promoter, leading to decreased H3K27me3 modification and ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy of the Rainbow Trout (Salmo gairdneri Richardson) Spermatozoon [PDF]
The scanning electron microscope was used to determine the morphology of the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri Richardson) spermatozoon. The spermatozoon is approximately 32 μm long and consists of a head, mitochondrial collar, and flagellum.

Maternal Chrono‐Nutrition and Placental DNA Methylation: The BiSC Study
This is the first study to examine how the timing of a mother's meals during pregnancy relates to changes in placental DNA methylation, an epigenetic mark. We found that the timing of the last daily meal was most important. Some epigenetic changes were linked to genes involved in placental function and development, and the long‐term health consequences

High‐Resolution Imaging Reveals Mitochondrial Protein Imbalance in Sperm of Oligoasthenospermic Men
ABSTRACT Male infertility accounts for nearly half of global infertility cases and is often linked to poor sperm quality, such as oligospermia, asthenospermia, and teratospermia. Although the exact mechanisms remain unclear, mitochondria, which are critical for ATP production and reactive oxygen species generation during fertilization, are increasingly

Intracellular compounds from Lactobacillus plantarum were added to a goat sperm cryopreservation extender. A concentration of 20 µL/mL improved post‐thaw sperm quality, whereas higher concentrations (80–100 µL/mL) had detrimental effects. ABSTRACT Background Cryopreservation of sperm is a key strategy for preserving and transmitting the genetic traits ...

Luteinizing hormone receptor knockout mouse: What has it taught us?
Abstract Luteinizing hormone (LH), along with its agonist choriongonadotropin (hCG) in humans, is the key hormone responsible for the tropic regulation of the gonadal function. LH and hCG act through their cognate receptor, the luteinizing hormone/choriongonadotropin receptor (LHCGR; more appropriately LHR in rodents lacking CG), located in the testis ...

Abstract Background G protein‐coupled receptors are a large and functionally diverse family of membrane receptors involved in a number of biological processes. Like other proteins, G protein‐coupled receptors need to be properly folded in order to traffic to the plasma membrane and interact with agonist.
