CCDC28A deficiency causes sperm head defects, reduced sperm motility and male infertility in mice
Mature spermatozoa with normal morphology and motility are essential for male reproduction. The epididymis has an important role in the proper...

Effect of seawater temperature and pH on the sperm motility of the European eel
The current climate change situation could bring critical effects for marine species, especially those already considered endangered. Although some...

Association between Yili goose sperm motility and expression profiles of mRNA and miRNA in testis
BackgroundThe study was conducted to find out the candidate microRNA (miRNA) and genes that associated with sperm motility of Yili goose through...

IKBA phosphorylation governs human sperm motility through ACC-mediated fatty acid beta-oxidation
The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway regulates specific immunological responses and controls a wide range of physiological processes....

In vitro effect of granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) on the expression of genes related to sperm motility and energy metabolism and intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes in obstructive azoospermic patients
BackgroundThe presence of granulocyte–macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and its receptor in various testicular cells and spermatozoa...

Effect of Chemical Pollution on the Fertility of Male Rodents from Natural Populations: Сomparing the Response of Sperm Morphology, Motility, and Concentration
AbstractThe results of studies of epididymal spermatozoa of three species of rodents (bank vole Clethrionomys glareolus , northern red-backed vole Cl....

BBOF1 is required for sperm motility and male fertility by stabilizing the flagellar axoneme in mice
The sperm flagellum is a specialized type of motile cilium composed of a typical “9 + 2” axonemal structure with peri-axonemal structures, such as...

Comparative proteomic analysis of seminal plasma exosomes in buffalo with high and low sperm motility
BackgroundExosomes are nanosized membranous vesicles secreted by various types of cells, which facilitate intercellular communication by transporting...

Trpv4-mediated apoptosis of Leydig cells induced by high temperature regulates sperm development and motility in zebrafish
Exposure of testes to high-temperature environment results in defective spermatogenesis. Zebrafish exposed to high temperature exhibited apoptosis...

Exposure to silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles at supra-environmental concentrations decreased sperm motility and affected spermatozoa subpopulations in gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata
Marine pollution by nanoparticles (NPs) can be reprotoxic for fish and disturb successful reproduction of wild populations. In gilthead seabream ( Spar...

Homologous seminal plasma efficiently activates epididymal tail sperm compared to traditional tris buffer and sperm-TALP in sheep
We hypothesized that ram epididymal tail sperm may be efficiently activated in homologous seminal plasma compared to tris and sperm-TALP. Eighty...

Morphological assessment of free-spawned sperm in scleractinian coral: a relationship between cell morphology and motility
Although the quality of the spermatozoa is a key factor for reproductive success, there is few information describing the sperm quality for most...

Zinc is a master-regulator of sperm function associated with binding, motility, and metabolic modulation during porcine sperm capacitation
Sperm capacitation is a post-testicular maturation step endowing spermatozoa with fertilizing capacity within the female reproductive tract,...

Investigation of sperm hsa-mir-145-5p and MLH1 expressions, seminal oxidative stress and sperm DNA fragmentation in varicocele
BackgroundMechanisms by which varicocele causes infertility are not clear and few studies have reported that some miRNAs show expression alterations...
-
A combination of biomarkers for predicting stallion sperm fertility
Equine breeding would benefit greatly from reliable biomarkers of stallion or ejaculate fertility. The aim of the study was to investigate how...
