Targeted disruption of Slc2a8 (GLUT8) reduces motility and mitochondrial potential of spermatozoa
GLUT8 is a class 3 sugar transport facilitator which is predominantly expressed in testis and also detected in brain, heart, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, adrenal gland, and liver. Since its physiological function in these tissues is unknown, we generated a Slc2a8 null mouse and characterized its phenotype. Slc2a8 knockout mice appeared healthy and exhibited normal growth, body weight develo...
متن کاملP-159: Effect of Silymarin on Viability, Motility and Mitochondrial Memberane Potential of Ram Spermatozoa Treated with Aluminum Chloride
Background: Aluminum, as an environmental pollutant, can exert oxidative stress on spermatogenesis and sperm morphology. Silymarin, an effective substance extracted from Silybum marianum, is a potent antioxidant which inhibits oxidative stress. Due to the damaging effects of aluminum on the male reproductive system as well as sperm and the role of silymarin, this study was performed to investig...
متن کاملThe effect of aminoguanidine on sperm motility and mitochondrial membrane potential in varicocelized rats
Objective(s): Increased levels of nitric oxide (NO) in the testicular veins of people suffering from varicocele have already been reported. However, the role of NO-synthase (NOS) isozymes and their inhibitors have not been extensively studied. We aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of aminoguanidine (AG), on sperm motility, vitality, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in varicoceli...
متن کاملPeroxynitrite-mediated nitrosative stress decreases motility and mitochondrial membrane potential in human spermatozoa.
Nitrosative stress is produced by high levels of reactive nitrogen species (RNS). The RNS include peroxynitrite, a highly reactive free radical produced from a diffusion-controlled reaction between nitric oxide and superoxide anion. Peroxynitrite causes nitration and oxidation of lipids, proteins and DNA, and is thus considered an important pathogenic mechanism in various diseases. Although hig...
متن کاملIncreased [Mg2+]o reduces Ca2+ influx and disruption of mitochondrial membrane potential during reoxygenation.
Increase in extracellular Mg2+ concentration ([Mg2+]o) reduces Ca2+ accumulation during reoxygenation of hypoxic cardiomyocytes and exerts protective effects. The aims of the present study were to investigate the effect of increased [Mg(2+)](o) on Ca2+ influx and efflux, free cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) and Mg2+ concentrations ([Mg2+]i), Ca2+ accumulation in the presence of inhibitors of mitochond...
