The study aimed to analyze the protein expression of sperm in epididymis at 3 different regions (caput, corpus and cauda) and obtain differentially expressed proteins using proteomics in sheep. The functional enrichment analysis on the data was performed to explore proteins regulating...

The present study was carried out on ninety six pairs testicles (n=96) from mature bucks irrespective of breed presented for slaughter at local abattoir (Faizabad- 224229 and Sultanpur- 228001) of UP, and AL-Nafees protein PVT Ltd., Mewat-122103, Haryana. Various biometric parameters of testes and...

Purpose: To study the distribution characteristics of glutathione peroxidase-5 (GPx5) in epididymis between the cryptorchidism and normal adult yak, and to discuss the regulation of GPx5 on sperm maturation and reproductive function of yak. Methods: Eight pairs of cryptorchidism and normal...

The aim of this study is to clarify the function of osteopontin (OPN) through its expression and localisation in male testis, epididymis and sperm cell of dromedary camel during rutting season. Testis and epididymis parts (caput, corpus and cauda) specimens were obtained from 8 mature male camels...

The red-rumped agouti (Dasyprocta leporina) is a hystricognath rodent with reproductive anatomical peculiarities presenting as an intra-abdominal testes-epididymis complex. This study was carried out to describe, for the first time, details related to the morphological and functional changes in...

The present study was conducted on caput and cauda epididymis of twelve buffaloes collected from abattoir immediately after slaughtering during four seasons of year viz; spring, summer, autumn and winter. The tissues were processed for paraffin sectioning. The study revealed that in caput part...

Cattleyaks are equally adaptable to harsh environment as yaks, but produce far more milk and meat in terms of quality and quantity. However, male cattleyaks with active secondary sexuality are infertile and have restricted productivity and breeding of yaks. Much researches continue to be done in...

Objective: This study analyzed the transcription level and protein distribution characteristics of calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) in epididymis of plateau yak and explored its function on sperm transport and maturation. Method: The epididymis of 6 adult yaks at the age of 3 to 4 years were...

This study aimed to analyze the expression of Toll-like receptor 7/8 (TLR7/8) in boar sperm and reproductive organs, and to explore whether boar X sperm and Y sperm could be separated by their ligand treatment. In this study, the mRNA expression levels of TLR7 and TLR8 genes in testis, caupt,...
