Physiological consequences of testicular sperm extraction.
Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) may provide spermatozoa for attempts at fertility with assisted reproduction; however, the physiological effects of TESE on testicular function are not well understood. In order to evaluate the effects of TESE on the testis, 64 patients were evaluated after TESE for non-obstructive azoospermia with physical examinations, serial scrotal sonography, histological...
متن کاملSperm storage
What is sperm storage? Sperm storage is most commonly defined as the maintenance of sperm inside a female’s reproductive tract for an extended period of time. Because the fate of sperm post-copulation is important for understanding sexual selection, sperm storage is a particularly interesting characteristic that may have drastic impacts on the operation of post-copulatory sexual selection. Sper...
متن کاملHuman sperm volume regulation. Response to physiological changes in osmolality, channel blockers and potential sperm osmolytes.
BACKGROUND Volume regulation is an important sperm function because defective sperm cannot negotiate the female tract in an infertile mouse model and swollen human sperm cannot penetrate and migrate through mucus. METHODS AND RESULTS The size of sperm from 52 donor ejaculates incubated in medium of female tract fluid osmolality (BWW290) was measured by flow cytometry to be identical to that i...
متن کاملDirect visualization of sperm competition and sperm storage in Drosophila
Drosophila females engage in multiple matings [1] [2] [3] [4] even though they can store sperm in specialized organs for most of their life [5]. The existence of sperm competition in Drosophila has been inferred from the proportion of progeny sired by the second male in double-mating experiments [6] [7] [8]. Investigators have used this approach to quantify genetic variation underlying sperm co...
متن کاملOviducal sperm storage in turkeys: spatial distribution of sperm within the uterovaginal junction sperm-storage tubules.
The spatial distribution of sperm within the sperm storage tubules (SST) found in the uterovaginal junction (UVJ) of the turkey is not known. In this study, we inseminated sperm stained with a fluorescent dye (Hoechst 33342) to determine their distribution in SST in the ventral, dorsal, and lateral regions of the proximal, middle, and distal regions of the UVJ. There was no preferential filling...
