Background: ROS are free radicals that have a significant role in many of the sperm physiological processes. In the presence of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as sperm plasma membrane,ROS triggers a chain of chemical reactions called lipid peroxidation.The aim of this study was to determine and compare the concentration of MDA and NO in testicular extract of hyperprolactinemic adult male mice...

The N-myc downstream regulated gene (NDRG) family consists of 4 members, NDRG-1, -2, -3, -4. Physiologically, we found Ndrg3, a critical gene which led to homologous lethality in the early embryo development, regulated the male meiosis in mouse. The expression of Ndrg3 was enhanced specifically in germ cells, and reached its peak level in the pachytene stage spermatocyte. Haplo-insufficiency of...
