and reversible contraceptive by disrupting Eppin’s interaction withsemenogelinduring ejaculation.42,43Protein prime-peptide studies have shown that all of the animals injected with rhEppin followed by an epitope-based peptide boost induced antigen-specific IgG2band IgG1antibodies.44More importantly, ...
Lecithin extenders have been used for cooling [3,12,23] and cryogenic preservation of canine spermatozoa [2,11], with different results. Lecithin contains many of the ingredients of egg yolk, especially a high amount of LDL. When a TRIS-fructose-citric acid-based extender with 0.05–0.1% lec...
The power of the Semenoll supplement lies in its natural, safe and scientifically backed up ingredients. The unique formula Semenoll is especially designed to support and improve your body’s reproductive function, while enhancing the sperm quality and sexual performance. Following are the ...
We found that both AMPPs improved sperm plasma membrane and acrosome integrity during semen storage. The highest concentration tested for lysozyme also kept the remaining sperm parameters unaltered, at 48 h of semen storage, and reduced the bacterial load at comparable levels of the samples supplemen...
Microbiota was analyzed from the V3-V4 region of 16S rDNA gene following sequencing on an Illumina MiSeq platform. All statistical analyses were performed with Calypso software version 8.84. Results: HPV DNA was detected in 19.4% (6/31) of the semen samples. HPV status in the semen did not...
Results: The results of this study indicated that except CXCL12, the seminal levels of the other three chemokines in infertile men were significantly lower than those in fertile men. Inversely, findings of present study indicated that all of studied CXC chemokines were significantly elevated in ...
Novel male contraceptives will promote gender equality in sharing contraceptive responsibility. The sperm-associated protein epididymal protease inhibitor (EPPIN) is a promising target for non-hormonal male contraception. EPPIN interacts with the semen c
HIV-1 is usually transmitted in the presence of semen. We have shown that semen boosts HIV-1 infection and contains fragments of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) forming amyloid aggregates termed SEVI (semen-derived enhancer of viral infection) that promote virion attachment to target cells. Despi...
Effect of catalase under aerobic and anaerobic conditions on the storage capacity of the CEP-2 diluent. Except for membrane integrity (P = 0.57), ALH (P = 0.06), and STR (P = 0.43), a significant (P < 0.01) decrease over time of all evaluated sperm quality parameters was observed in...
To control for semen quality and quantity, semen was collected by the same person under the same conditions. Considerable care was taken to avoid contamination of sperm with feces, urates, and clear fluid, all of which could decrease sperm quality. Within 20 min of collection, sperm samples ...
