Article Synopsis
- Protamines are proteins vital for sperm chromatin condensation, with their expression ratios linked to fertility in different species.
- The study aimed to evaluate RNA quality and protamine gene expression in testis samples from wild-derived mice, preserved under various conditions over different time frames.
- Results indicated that samples preserved in RNAlater® or NAP buffer at -80°C maintained RNA integrity and protamine expression effectively, even under less optimal conditions like room temperature for a week.
Effect of Probiotics on Sperm Quality in the Adult Mouse.
Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Probiotics have recently gained attention for their potential therapeutic effects, but their impact on reproductive health remains under-researched.
- This study tested the effects of two probiotic mixtures on sperm quality in mice, comparing them to a control group that received physiological serum.
- Results indicated that probiotic treatments resulted in a higher percentage of normal sperm and altered head shape, although they didn't significantly improve overall motility compared to controls, suggesting further research is needed.
