Imprinted genes are expressed either from the paternal or the maternal allele, because the other allele has been silenced in the mother's or father's germline. Imprints are characterized by DNA methylation at cytosine phosphate guanine sites. Recently, abnormal sperm parameters and male infertility have been linked to aberrant methylation patterns of imprinted genes in sperm DNA. However, these...
Recent studies investigating possible causes of male subfertility have largely focused on how lifestyle or environmental factors impact on the process of spermatogenesis. Markedly, fewer studies have investigated those risk factors that result in reduced sperm quality, such as poor sperm motility. The speed at which sperm swim is a major predictor of fertility and is extremely variable in human...
BACKGROUND Human spermatogenesis is regulated by complex networks, and estrogens are recognized as one of the significant regulators of spermatogenesis. We tested the associations between variants of estrogen-related genes and semen parameters. METHODS We performed genotyping for genetic variants of estrogen-related genes and quantitative trait analysis of fertile and infertile men with well-...
Abstract Background Studies have shown that olfactory receptor genes are the largest in human genome, which significantly expressed and non-olfactory tissues such as reproductive systems where they perform many important biological functions. Main body There is growing evidence bioactive metabolites from ovary, follicular fluid, other parts of female tract signal sperm through a series transduc...
Recently, the conception rates after artificial insemination have been pointed out to decline continuously. To overcome this problem, the control of frozen and thawed sperm quality is required. However, the mechanism of bovine sperm functional regulation is still largely unknown. In mammals, the ejaculated sperm are capable of showing fertilizing ability during migration in the female reproduct...
BACKGROUND CatSper genes are a novel family of four sperm-specific calcium channels, which indicate testis-specific expression patterns. Despite the crucial role of CatSper genes in the male reproduction, very little is known about the factors that regulate their expression. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of vitamin E treatment on the expression of CatSpe...
X-linked genes can evolve slower or faster depending on whether most recessive, or at least partially recessive alleles are deleterious or beneficial due to their hemizygous expression in males. Molecular studies of X chromosome divergence have provided conflicting evidence for both a higher and lower rate of nucleotide substitution at both synonymous and nonsynonymous sites, depending on the n...
background: nitric oxide (no) is synthesized from l-arginine by a family of enzymes known as nitric oxide synthases. low concentrations of no is essential in biology and physiology of spermatozoa, but high amounts of no is toxic and has negative effects on sperm functions. moreover, sperm membrane contains high concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are highly susceptible to oxidati...
Proteomic studies of spermatozoa have identified a large catalog of integral sperm proteins. Rapid evolution of these proteins may underlie adaptive changes of sperm traits involved in different events leading to fertilization, although the selective forces underlying such rapid evolution are not well understood. A variety of selective forces may differentially affect several steps ending in fe...
The study of the sperm proteins is crucial for understanding its normal function and alterations in infertile patients. The sperm is a highly specialized cell with a very large flagella, with little cytoplasm and a highly condensed nucleus. The most abundant proteins in the nucleus of mammalian sperm are the protamines. The main functions of the protamines are the condensation of the DNA, possi...
