MT1/cAMP/PKA Pathway in Melatonin-Regulated Sperm Capacitation.
Reprod Sci
January 2025
College of Veterinary Medicine, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou, 225009, Jiangsu, China.
Melatonin is mainly synthesized and secreted by pineal gland, and plays multiple functions, including its regulating effects on reproductive processes. Sperm capacitation is necessary for fertilization, but the effect of melatonin on mouse sperm capacitation remains to be elucidated. We thus investigated the roles of melatonin on capacitation by culturing the sperms from mouse cauda epididymis in the medium with different doses of melatonin.

Molecular Medicine, Nutrigenomics and Public Health Research Laboratory, Department of Bio-Medical Laboratory Science and Management, Vidyasagar University, Midnapore 721 102, West Bengal, India.
Objective: The study focused the contraceptive efficacy of hydro-ethanolic (60:40) extract (HEE) of Caesalpinia pulcherrima leaves in human and rat sperm samples by in vitro study.
Methods: Six young fertile adult males were selected for semen collection. Sperm samples were collected from six adult rat also by chopping the epididymis along with the collection of testicles, epididymis, and liver.

Objective: Many cancer survivors may experience irreversible infertility due to chemotherapy treatment for childhood cancer. In this study, spermatogenesis development was evaluated following the grafting of fresh and frozen-thawed testicular tissue from neonatal mice to the epididymal fat of adult mice.
Methods: After bilateral castration of recipient mice, fresh or frozen-thawed neonatal testis tissues were grafted into the epididymal fat of the mice.
Quercetin Supplementation Reduces Oxidative Stress in the Testes of Wistar Rats Fed a High-Fat Diet.
Am J Reprod Immunol

Laboratory of Molecular Genetics and Experimentation in Animal Reproduction, University of Western São Paulo (Unoeste), Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, Brazil.
Problem: A high-fat diet (HFD) predisposes animals to glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia and testicular oxidative stress, and impairs sperm production in rats. Quercetin is a flavonoid with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and lipolytic actions and is a potential supplement to combat the oxidative stress caused by HFD and its harmful effects on reproduction. This study evaluated the effects of quercetin supplementation at doses of 10 and 20 mg/day on reproductive parameters and testicular oxidative stress in Wistar rats fed a diet rich in pork fat and fructose.

Invasive lung myofibroblasts are the main cause of tissue remodeling in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). A key mechanism contributing to this important feature is aberrant crosstalk between the abnormal/injured lung epithelium and pulmonary fibroblasts. Here, we demonstrate that lungs from patients with IPF and from mice with bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis (PF) are characterized by the induction of human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) overexpression in epithelial cells.
