The production of mature and motile sperm is a detailed process that utilizes many molecular players to ensure the faithful execution of spermatogenesis. In most species that have been examined, spermatogenesis begins with a single cell that undergoes dramatic transformation, culminating with the hypercompaction of DNA into the sperm head by replacing histones with protamines. Precise execution...

Efficiency of spermatogenesis is the estimated number of spermatozoa produced per day per gram of testicular parenchyma. Spermatogenesis is the process of cell division and cell differentiation by which spermatozoa are produced in testes. Efficiency of spermatogenesis is influenced by species differences in the numerical density of germ cell nuclei and in the life span of these cells. Activitie...

Abstract Study question What is the role of ClpX in spermatogonia differentiation and spermatogenesis? Summary answer required to maintain normal mitochondrial functions spermatocytes, deficiency resulted meiosisarrest diruption spermatogenesis mice. known already mitochondria-specific quality control protease, it maintains proteostasis via degrading misfolded or damagedproteins matrix. a AAA+ ...

background: there are numerous investigations on wide range of issues that disrupt regulatory spermatogenesis, individuals who are exposed to drug abuse faced infertility and immature spermatogenesis. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the addiction effects of morphine and its derivatives on rats spermatogenesis. materials and methods: 40 male wistar rats were randomly divided int...

Sertoli cell-only syndrome is defined by the complete absence of germ cells in testicular tissues and always results in male infertility. Germ cells give rise to next stages of spermatogenesis which is the process of sperm formation. They are normally attached to Sertoli cells forming together so called seminiferous tubules which form testicular tissue. If there are only Sertoli cells, then ​ n...

Apoptosis is a tightly controlled process by which tissues eliminate unwanted cells. Spontaneous germ cell apoptosis in testis has been broadly investigated in mammals that have an associated spermatogenesis pattern. However, the mechanism of germ cell apoptosis in seasonally breeding reptiles following a dissociated spermatogenesis has remained enigmatic. In the present study, morphological ev...

Spermatic characteristics were studied in 10 species representing several distinct groups within the catfish family Doradidae. Interestingly, different types of spermatogenesis, spermiogenesis and spermatozoa are correlated with intrafamilial groups previously proposed for Doradidae. Semi-cystic spermatogenesis, modified Type III spermiogenesis, and biflagellate sperm appear to be unique within...
