One of causes in decreasing quantity and quality spermatozoon is disease. Increased blood glucose levels can trigger demage spermatogenesis the testes, thereby reducing spermatozoa production. Biwa leaves (Eriobotrya japonica (Thunb.) Lindl.) contain triterpenes which are expected to overcome cauda epididymis. To investigate this problem, an experimental test nano herbal biwa was carried out a ...

Reproductive tract morphometry, sperm production rates, gonadal and extragonadal reserves in Bunaji bulls were evaluated using samples from a total of 13 mature animals. The morphometric characteristics the reproductive organs had generally low values but showed normal development. daily (DSP) averaged 1.23 ± 0.16 x 109, while (DSG/g) was 0.62 0.11 107. Gonadal reserve 2.17 0.73 109 3.82 for ca...

Condensation of sperm chromatin occurs after spermatozoa have left the caput epididymis and are in transit to the cauda epididymis, during which time large numbers of disulfide bonds are formed. The formation of these disulfide bonds requires the repeated oxidation of the cofactor, NAD(P)H. To date, the means by which this oxidation is achieved has yet to be elucidated. Spermatozoa lose the bul...

To evaluate the clinical outcomes of loupe-assisted intussusception vasoepididymostomy (VE) in the treatment of epididymal obstructive azoospermia (EOA), we retrospectively analyzed data from 49 patients with EOA who underwent two-suture longitudinal intussusception vasoepididymostomy (LIVE) between 2000 and 2007. The data included the surgical method, postoperative motile sperm count per ejacu...

Studies on the beneficial effects of vitamins E and D supplementation on functions of caput and cauda epididymides, their spermatozoa, vas deferens and seminal vesicle of sodium fluoride (NaF) treated (10 mg/kg body weight) male mice (Mus musculus) were carried out. The NaF treatment resulted in significant decrease in the body and epididymis weight but those of vas deferens and seminal vesicle...

BACKGROUND Epididymal anomalies and patent processus vaginalis are frequently found in boys with cryptorchidism or hydrocele. We conducted this study to evaluate the association between epididymal anomalies and testicular location or patent processus vaginalis in boys with undescended testis or hydrocele. METHODS Children undergoing surgery with undescended testis (group A, 136 boys and 162 t...

BACKGROUND Precious fruits like jambul are neglected and wasted while environmental pollutants like lead intake remain overlooked. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the Jambul pulp extract on lead detrimental effects in pseudostratified epithelium and the stereocilia of mice epididymis and vas deferens. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty young males mice (Mus muscu...

Breton, Sylvie, Katherine Hammar, Peter J. S. Smith, and Dennis Brown. Proton secretion in the male reproductive tract: involvement of Cl2-independent HCO3 2 transport. Am. J. Physiol. 275 (Cell Physiol. 44): C1134–C1142, 1998.— The lumen of the epididymis is the site where spermatozoa undergo their final maturation and acquire the capacity to become motile. An acidic luminal fluid is required ...
