This paper reviews the recent research on the physiological role of peptide and protein substances synthesized in boar seminal vesicle glands. Secretions from these glands are the major components of seminal plasma. Unique biochemical properties of seminal vesicle proteins, which determine their numerous functions in the reproductive processes, are discussed. The discovery of phosphotyrosine ac...

The localization of dopamine stores and the expression and localization of dopamine (DAT) and vesicular monoamine transporters (VMAT) type-1 and -2 and of dopamine D1-like and D2-like receptor subtypes were investigated in rat submandibular, sublingual, and parotid salivary glands by HPLC with electrochemical detection, as well as immunochemical and immunohistochemical techniques. Male Wistar r...

A guinea pig showing spontaneous abnormalities in both calcitonin and somatostatin syntheses was found. Thyroid C cells revealed an almost complete absence of secretory granules immunoreactive to calcitonin and somatostatin. Instead, vesicular inclusions of various sizes, which exhibited positive immunoreactions for calcitonin and somatostatin, were found in some C cells. There were several C c...

This study aimed to analyze seasonal variations in the antioxidant defence systems of the seminal plasma and fluids of the cauda epididymis and vesicular glands of the boar. The analyzed antioxidants included superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and total L-glutathione (GSH+GSSG). Seasonal changes in total protein content and total antioxidant status (TAS) of...

Huntingtin-interacting protein 1-related (Hip1r) is highly expressed in gastric parietal cells, where it participates in vesicular trafficking associated with acid secretion. Hip1r-deficient mice have a progressive remodeling of the mucosa, including apoptotic loss of parietal cells, glandular hypertrophy, mucous cell metaplasia, and reduced numbers of zymogenic cells. In this study, we charact...

hydatid disease is a common and major public health issue caused by parasite echinococcus granulosus . the highest prevalence of the parasite can be found in different parts of world like africa, australia, and south america. this infection can occurs in almost any part of the body. here we present clinical, radiological, histological features and treatment of a multi ve­sicular osseous hydatid...

This study investigated seasonal changes in the metabolic performance of spermatozoa and activity of the antioxidant enzymes in the seminal plasma of three wild boar/domestic pigs (aged 1.5 to 2.5 years) and the activity of the antioxidant enzymes in fluids of the cauda epididymidis and vesicular glands from 16 wild boar/domestic pig hybrids (aged 1 to 3 years). Parameters of the sperm metaboli...

this study aims to investigate the capability of forming itraconazole containing niosomes with span 60 and brij 58 as non-ionic surfactants. lower cost and higher stability makes niosomes a more suitable choice in comparison with liposomes.the capability to form vesicles as an itraconazole delivery system and the influence of different factors such as type of surfactant and molar ratio of chole...
