Successful reproduction is dependent on the transfer of male seminal proteins to females upon mating. These proteins arise from secretory tissues in the male reproductive tract, including the prostate and seminal vesicles in...
To determine reproductive urologists’ (RU) practice patterns for microdissection testicular sperm extraction (microTESE) and factors associated with use of fresh versus frozen microTESE for non-obstructive azoospermia...
To determine chromosome and gene alterations in ectopic endometrial (EM) tissue which may be implicated in the clinical course or the progression of endometriosis and to review the literature concerning the cytogenetic findings...
Mitochondrial Uncoupling Proteins (UCPs) are mitochondrial inner membrane proteins that dissipate the proton electrochemical gradient generated by the respiratory chain complexes. In plants, these proteins are crucial for...
Bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) are critical growth factors required for normal follicular development and luteal function. Cluster of Differentiation 68 (CD68) is an intraovarian...
Family with sequence similarity 114 member A2 (Fam114a2) is sperm binding protein that is highly conserved in mammals with homologs both in fungi and plants. Previous studies have demonstrated that miR-762 and P63 are two...
Certain endocrine disruptor chemicals are involved in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disease related to infertility in women. Phthalates are the most common plasticizers found in several...
The objective was to test additivity of digestible energy and nutrient concentrations in the hatchery byproduct mixture fed to nursery pigs.In the previous studies, energy, phosphorus, calcium, and amino acid digestibility of...
This experiment investigated the effect of excess crude protein and/or calcium on male broiler breeder fertility. Forty-eight broiler breeder males, from a group of 60 that consistently produced a semen sample were allocated to...
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) increases risk for development of type 2 diabetes. Whey protein ingestion before a carbohydrate load attenuates blood glucose. For our exploratory, case-control study design, we hypothesized that...
Seromucinous borderline tumor (SMBT) is a rare neoplasm which was newly defined in the 2014 WHO classification. Although the clinical and histopathological characteristics of SMBT have been well described, its cytological...
The discovery of the essential requirement for kisspeptin and subsequently neurokinin B signalling for human reproductive function has sparked renewed interest in the neuroendocrinology of reproduction. A key discovery has been...
