[ 1 ] - P-24: Beta Defensin 126 and Its Role in Intra-Uterine Insemination Outcome

Background: Human β-defensin 126 is a small cationic glycoprotein that coats the plasma membrane of sperm during epididymal transit. It provides protection for sperms from infection-causing microbes and against the female immune system. Defensin remains on the sperm until sperm become capacitated in the female reproductive tract. DEFB126 gene is located on the subtelomeric end of 20p13 in human...

[ 2 ] - P-48: Evaluation of Sperm ChromatinStructure in Patients with Partial Globozoospermia

Background: Globozoospermia is an uncommon disorder of sperm morphology associated with severe male infertility. Patients who contain both normal and round-headed sperm are called partial globozoospermic. It is possible that round-headed sperm may have an abnormal chromatin structure and /or DNA strand breaks. Moreover, sperm DNA fragmentation and protamine deficiency is shown to be associated ...

[ 3 ] - P-231: Androgen Receptor Gene Expression in Azoospermia Men

Background: Androgens are critical steroid hormones in progression of spermatogenesis process and determine the male phenotype that their actions are mediated by the androgen receptor (AR), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. In the Androgen receptor, transactivation domain encoded by exon 1, DNA binding domain encoded by exons 2 and 3, hinge region encoded by part of exon 4, and C-te...
