In this case report, the use of laparoscopy for castration of a bilateral cryptorchid cat (with testes located in the abdomen) is described. Three trocars were inserted into the abdominal cavity, the testicles
3 This condition is strongly suspected or known to be genetic in certain dog (eg, toy breeds, boxers, bulldogs) and cat breeds.1,3 In addition, undescended testicles are up to 13 times more likely to become neoplastic than normally located testicles and are more prone to torsion12; both ...
As for equines, the presence of HSP70 has been detected in the cytoplasm of all spermatogenetic cells (from spermatogonia to elongated spermatids) in porcine [14], rabbit [16], and cat [19] testis. However, in the testis of mice [20,22]), rats [13,38], and men [33] HSP70 is ...
Cryptorchid I work at an animal shelter a few days a week and the other day one of the cats came back from the vet after he’d been neutered. I’m aware that isn’t interesting, but the discovery that the cat was a “cryptorchid” is. I know the term cryptorchid from horses, so...

The cat was castrated, and the tubular structures were surgically removed. Histology identified them as M眉llerian duct remnants. The testes were hypoplastic, the epididymes and deferent ducts were normal. Cytogenetic analyses revealed the presence of a mosaic 37,X/38,XY karyotype which explains ...
RT-PCR was then applied to examine the mRNA expression level of antioxidant enzymes in descended testes, including glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), copper/zinc-superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD), and catalase (CAT). The concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) was determined by spectrophotometty. In...
