Inflammatory-associated obstructions of the male reproductive tract.
A history of urogenital inflammation occurs in 5-12% of men attending infertility clinics. Usually, infection has a detrimental effect on sperm quality by reducing concentration and motility, and possibly affecting the number of morphological normal spermatozoa. In addition, infection may be the source of auto-antibodies against spermatozoa, found in about 8% of the infertile male population. I...
متن کاملClusterin in the male reproductive tract.
Clusterin is a 75-80 kDa heterodimenc glycoprotein that was first identified as a component of the fluid from the ram rete testes (Fritz et al, 1983). Over the past 15 years, the protein has been purified, or its cognate mRNA cloned, from a number of different species and diverse tissues, including several tissues of the reproductive tract (see Table 1). The role, or, more probably, roles, of t...
متن کاملImpact of Inflammation on Male Reproductive Tract
Fertility in the male is dependent on the proper production of sperm cells. This process, called spermatogenesis is very complex and involves the synchronization of numerous factors. The presence of pro-inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 α) and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 β) cytokines in the male reproductive tract (testis, epididymis and sperm) ...

متن کاملP-17: Expression of Cell Surface Toll-Like Receptors in the Human Male Reproductive Tract
Background: Male infertility refers to the inability of a male to achieve a pregnancy in a fertile female. The root of many causes of infertility is miscommunication between immune and reproductive system. Male reproductive system is very sensitive and vulnerable, infections can hinder maturation and movement of spermatozoa lead to impaired fertility.All species need an immediate reply to the m...
