Published: November 2024

In this issue of Molecular Cell, Longo et al. reveal that AMPK, a regulatory kinase activated by metabolic stress, inhibits NIX/BNIP3-dependent mitophagy to preserve mitochondrial quantity and activates PINK1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy to ensure mitochondrial quality.

Effect of repeated semen ejaculation on sperm quality and selected biochemical markers of canine semen.

Pol J Vet Sci

June 2024

Department of Animal Biochemistry and Biotechnology, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Oczapowskiego 5, 10-718 Olsztyn-Kortowo, Poland.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality parameters and selected biochemical markers of canine semen sampled at 24-h intervals over a period of 5 days, preceded by 6 months of sexual abstinence. Full ejaculates were obtained from 6 dogs. Ejaculate volume and total sperm counts in the ejaculate decreased gradually on successive sampling days.

Perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) increases oxidative stress through inhibition of mitochondrial β-oxidation.

PER: and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of synthetic organic chemicals that are ubiquitous environmental pollutants. Among PFAS, perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) is one of the most toxic compounds, but the molecular basis behind its toxicity is not fully understood. In an interspecies comparison with placental cells (HTR-8/SVneo) and zebrafish embryos, we demonstrate that PFDA induces mitochondrial dysfunction and impairs fatty acid β-oxidation.

Cryopreservation induces various cryodamages to the structural or functional aspects of boar sperm, resulting in the deterioration of sperm quality. The extent of cryodamages varies significantly among different individual boars. In our study, 50 boars with either good sperm freezability (GSF) or poor sperm freezability (PSF) were selected from a population of 402 boars.

Introduction: Mammalian sperm within a single ejaculate exhibit significant heterogeneity, with only a subset possessing the molecular characteristics required for successful fertilization. Identifying the defining traits of these high-fertility sperm remains an open question.

Objectives: To elucidate the molecular markers and mechanisms underlying the fertilization potential of sperm in both mice and humans, with a focus on the role of D-mannose.

Chemobrain can be defined as the development of cognitive side effects following chemotherapy, which is increasingly reported in cancer survivor patients. Chemobrain leads to reduced patients' quality of life by causing different symptoms ranging from strokes and seizures to memory loss and mood disorders. Metformin, an antidiabetic drug, has been proposed as a potential treatment to improve the symptoms of chemotherapy-induced cognitive dysfunction.
