The genetic variation in Monocarboxylic acid transporter 2 (MCT2) has functional and clinical relevance with male infertility
Monocarboxylic acid transporter 2 (MCT2) transports pyruvate and lactate outside and inside of sperms, mainly as energy sources and plays roles in the regulation of spermatogenesis. We investigated the association among genetic variations in the MCT2 gene, male infertility and MCT2 expression levels in sperm. The functional and genetic significance of the intron 2 (+28201A > G, rs10506398) and ...
متن کاملGenetic Variation of Choline Dehydrogenase Gene in Idiopathic Male Infertility
Infertility can be caused by an unexplained reduction in semen quality in males who present asnormal on physical examination and endocrine testing. There is some evidence that aberrantmetabolism of micronutrients such as choline may play a causative role in male factorinfertility. Choline is a crucial factor in the regulation of sperm membrane structure andmotility, and this nutrient plays an i...
متن کاملMonocarboxylic acid transporters, MCT1 and MCT2, in cortical astrocytes in vitro and in vivo.
We used sequence-specific antibodies to characterize two monocarboxylic acid transporters, MCT1 and MCT2, in astrocytes. Both proteins are expressed in primary cultures of cortical astrocytes, as indicated by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence. Both MCT1 and MCT2 are present in small, punctate structures in the cytoplasm and at the cell membrane. Cells showing very low levels of labeling for...
متن کاملI-2: Varicocele and Male Infertility: A Clinical Dilemma
Background: To date, impact of varicocelectomy on semen parameters is controversial mainly because clear preoperative selection criteria of patients to be submitted to varicocele surgery are still lacking. A comprehensive review on varicocele pathophysiology, and indications to varicocelectomy according to controlled studies and methanalises from literature and the Guidelines of the Scientific ...
