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...

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...

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,...

While traveling through the epididymis, immature sheep spermatozoa undergo a sequence of processes that ultimately give them the capacity to swim and fertilize an egg. Different gene expression patterns may be found in the epididymal caput, corpus, and cauda, conferring variant or unique biological ...

Evaluation of sperm morphometry is an important criterion in the diagnosis of a male animal's suitability for breeding. The aim of the study was to evaluate the morphometry of sperm from the epididymides of dogs subjected to routine castration using various staining methods. The study was carried...

The epididymis is divided into three regions including the caput, corpus and cauda. Gene expression profiles in different regions indicate the different functions of epididymis which are crucial for sperm maturation. In this study, three one-year-old rams was used as the experimental animal....
