Animal Coronaviruses Induced Apoptosis

Varicocele-Induced Infertility in Animal Models

Varicocele is characterized by abnormal tortuosity and dilation of the veins of the pampiniform plexus within the spermatic cord. Although several reports show the mechanisms by which the varicocele exerts its infertility impact, the exact pathophysiology for varicocele-induced inflammation and its relationship with testicular endocrine disruption remain largely unknown. This review article wil...

P-35: Vitrification Induced Apoptosis in MiceBlastocysts

Background: Apoptosis is induced by several factors and has an important role in embryonic development. Since vitrification-induced embryonic damages could be resulted from an increase in apoptosis occurrence,the aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of vitrification on induction of apoptosis in blastocysts. Materials and Methods: For this purpose 20 balb-c mice superovulated an...

Animal coronaviruses: what can they teach us about the severe acute respiratory syndrome?

In 2002, a new coronavirus (CoV) emerged in the People's Republic of China, associated with a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and mortality in humans. The epidemic rapidly spread throughout the world before being contained in 2003, although sporadic cases occurred thereafter in Asia. The virus is thought to be of zoonotic origin from a wild animal reservoir (Himalayan palm civets [Pagu...
