The expression of aquaporins 1 and 9 in adult rat epididymis is perturbed by chronic exposure to ethanol
(2012-02-01)
Aquaporins (AQPs), notably AQP-1 and AQP-9, may contribute to reabsorption of fluid and solute across the epididymis. Ethanol is related to be a toxicant affecting directly or indirectly the epididymis and the sperm motility. ...

In search of new paradigms for epididymal health and disease: innate immunity, inflammatory mediators, and steroid hormones
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2019-09-01)
The primary job of the epididymis is to mature and protect the luminally transiting spermatozoa. Mounting evidence is showing that innate immune components [including Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and antimicrobial proteins, ...
Effects of Malathion on Cellularity and Sperm Differentiation in Testis and Epididymis of Adult Rats
(Sociedad Chilena de Anatomía, 2014)
Malathion is an organophosphorous insecticide, used worldwide for pest and disease control; however, it could also affect the reproductive patterns of several species. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of ...
Lower sperm quality and testicular and epididymal structural impairment in adult rats exposed to rosuvastatin during prepuberty
(2018-06-01)
The increase of obesity, bad eating habits and the lack of physical exercises are highly related to dyslipidemias. Rosuvastatin is a lipid-lowering drug and has been indicated to prevent cardiovascular diseases and to treat ...
Effects of malathion on cellularity and sperm differentiation in testis and epididymis of adult rats Efectos del malatión en la celularidad y diferenciación de espermatozoides en testículo y epidídimo de ratas adultas
(Universidad de la Frontera, 2014)
Malathion is an organophosphorous insecticide, used worldwide for pest and disease control; however, it could also affect the reproductive patterns of several species. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of ...
Myo-inositol in health and disease: its impact on semen parameters and male fertility
(Wiley, 2019-01)
Myo‐inositol (cis‐1,2,3,5‐trans‐4,6‐cyclohexanehexol; MI) is the most prominent of nine inositol stereoisomers. MI, its phosphate derivatives, and associated lipids are widely found in vegetables and animal tissues and are ...
NPC2 is expressed in human and murine liver and secreted into bile: Potential implications for body cholesterol homeostasis
(WILEY, 2006)
The liver plays a critical role in the metabolism of lipoprotein cholesterol and in controlling its elimination through the bile. Niemann-Pick type C 2 (NPC2), a cholesterol-binding protein, is key for normal intracellular ...
Spermatozoa from mice deficient in Niemann-Pick disease type C2 (NPC2) protein have defective cholesterol content and reduced in vitro fertilising ability
(CSIRO, 2014)
The cholesterol content of the sperm membrane is regulated during both maturation in the epididymis and
capacitation in the female tract, two processes required for the spermatozoa to acquire their fertilising ability. ...
