Article Synopsis
- The study examines how unilateral testicular torsion affects M1/M2 macrophage polarization in both testicles, focusing on the response over time after the injury.
- Using 63 male rats, researchers found that Torsion/Detorsion (T/D) led to significant tissue damage, with increasing severity observed from 4 hours to 14 days post-injury, while the Sham groups showed no such changes.
- Histopathological evaluations indicated enhanced M1 macrophage activity in the contralateral testis, suggesting that macrophages may contribute to injury in the unaffected testicle as a result of the torsion event.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how sulforaphane (SFN) affects the cryopreservation of rabbit semen by dividing samples into control and varying SFN concentrations (5, 10, 25, 50 µM).
- Results showed that while there was no difference at 4°C, the 10 µM SFN group exhibited the best outcomes in terms of sperm motility and lower rates of acrosomal damage after freezing and thawing.
- Overall, the findings suggest that a 10 µM dose of SFN enhances sperm quality in the cryopreservation process for rabbits.
