Diacerein Disrupts Testicular Homeostasis: The Essential Role of Basal Cytokines in Maintaining Sertoli Cell Integrity and the Immune Microenvironment

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pro‐inflammatory cytokines, TNF and IL‐1B, are essential for testicular homeostasis. Diacerein, an anti‐inflammatory drug, inhibits these cytokines, impairing M2 macrophages and Leydig cells (LCs). However, its impact on Sertoli cells (SCs) and M1 (CD68) macrophages remains unknown.

Sperm Head–Tail Coupling Apparatus Diversity and Common Themes Among Species

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A stable connection between the sperm head (containing the nucleus and acrosome) and tail (containing the axoneme, mitochondrial sheath, and periaxonemal structures) is critical for fertility. This connection is mediated by a series of nuclear, cytoplasmic, and centriole components that make up the head–tail coupling apparatus (HTCA)

The chromomere map of the pachytene spermatocyte of the Turkish hamster (Mesocricetus brandti)

open access: yes, 1991
The chromomere map of the early to mid pachytene spermatocyte of the Turkish hamster (Mesocricetus brandti) is described. Each autosomal bivalent was identified and a total of 304 chromomeres was found.

Time lapse movie of meiosis I in a living spermatocyte from the crane fly, Nephrotoma suturalis, viewed with polarized light microscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The events of meiosis I in a living spermatocyte obtained from the testis of a crane-fly larva are recorded in this time-lapse sequence beginning at diakinesis through telophase to the near completion of cytokinesis following meiosis ...

Evolutionary conservation of lampbrush-like loops in drosophilids

open access: yesBMC Cell Biology, 2007
Background Loopin-1 is an abundant, male germ line specific protein of Drosophila melanogaster. The polyclonal antibody T53-F1 specifically recognizes Loopin-1 and enables its visualization on the Y-chromosome lampbrush-like loop named kl-3 during ...

Diabetes‐Induced Testicular Injury: Potential Protective Roles of Curcumin, Garcinia kola, and Momordica charantia in Rats

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) induces multifaceted cellular and structural alterations in the male reproductive system, thereby predisposing to infertility. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the morphological, stereological, biochemical, histopathological, and ultrastructural changes induced by DM in testicular tissue, and to ...

Testicular Toxicity of 2-Methoxyethanol (Sertoli Cell, Spermatocyte).

open access: yes, 1984
2-Methoxyethanol (ME), a glycol ether, is a widely used industrial solvent. Exposure to ME in laboratory animals results in degeneration of the testicular germinal epithelium.

Sperm Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number and Nuclear DNA Methylation Across Clinical and Non‐Clinical Preconception Cohorts

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sperm mitochondrial DNA copy number is an emerging marker of male fertility, with elevated mtDNAcn associated with poor semen quality across various populations. Sperm DNA methylation has also been previously demonstrated to be negatively correlated with semen parameters in IVF cohorts.
