Epididymis
The convoluted cordlike structure attached to the posterior of the TESTIS. Epididymis consists of the head (caput), the body (corpus), and the tail (cauda). A network of ducts leaving the testis joins into a common epididymal tubule proper which provides the transport, storage, and maturation of SPERMATOZOA.
Sperm Maturation
The maturing process of SPERMATOZOA after leaving the testicular SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES. Maturation in SPERM MOTILITY and FERTILITY takes place in the EPIDIDYMIS as the sperm migrate from caput epididymis to cauda epididymis.
Testis
The male gonad containing two functional parts: the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES for the production and transport of male germ cells (SPERMATOGENESIS) and the interstitial compartment containing LEYDIG CELLS that produce ANDROGENS.
Spermatozoa
Mature male germ cells derived from SPERMATIDS. As spermatids move toward the lumen of the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES, they undergo extensive structural changes including the loss of cytoplasm, condensation of CHROMATIN into the SPERM HEAD, formation of the ACROSOME cap, the SPERM MIDPIECE and the SPERM TAIL that provides motility.
Genitalia, Male
The male reproductive organs. They are divided into the external organs (PENIS; SCROTUM;and URETHRA) and the internal organs (TESTIS; EPIDIDYMIS; VAS DEFERENS; SEMINAL VESICLES; EJACULATORY DUCTS; PROSTATE; and BULBOURETHRAL GLANDS).

Scrotum
A cutaneous pouch of skin containing the testicles and spermatic cords.
RNA, Messenger
RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
Leydig Cells
Steroid-producing cells in the interstitial tissue of the TESTIS. They are under the regulation of PITUITARY HORMONES; LUTEINIZING HORMONE; or interstitial cell-stimulating hormone. TESTOSTERONE is the major androgen (ANDROGENS) produced.
Nuclease Protection Assays
Techniques for measuring specific nucleic acid interaction with another nucleic acid or with a protein by digestion of the non-interacting nucleic acid by various nucleases. After all non-interacting regions are eliminated by nuclease digestion, the protected nucleic acid that remains is analyzed.

Inhibition by amiloride of sodium-dependent fluid reabsorption in the rat isolated caudal epididymis. (1/2450)

The rate of fluid reabsorption was studied in the rat isolated caudal epididymal sac in vitro. 2 Part of the fluid reabsorption was found to be dependent on intraluminal Na+. Amiloride (0.1 mM) completely inhibited this component of fluid reabsorption. 3 The log dose-inhibition curve to amiloride was sigmoid and the IC50 value was found to be 1.6 muM.  (+info)

Morphology of the epididymal region and ductus deferens of the turkey (Meleagris gallopavo). (2/2450)

The ductal system of the reproductive tract of the male domestic turkey was studied by gross dissection and light microscopy of paraffin and Epon embedded tissues. The succession of ductules as one passes caudally from the testis was as follows: seminiferous tubules; rete testis; ductuli efferentes; connecting ductules; ductus epididymidis; ductus deferens; receptaculum ductus deferentis; papilla ductus deferentis. Non-ciliated cells of the male tract consisted of squamous and low cuboidal cells of the rete testis, granulated columnar cells lining the ductuli efferentes and connective ductules; agranulated columnar cells which formed the epithelium of the ductus epididymidis, ductus deferens, receptaculum and papilla ductus deferentis; and basal cells which were found in increasing number from the ductuli efferentes to the papilla. The basal cells had a reduced amount of cytoplasm and stained more intensely than the other cell types. Ciliated cells were apparent in the ductuli efferentes and connecting ductules, and these consistently stained lighter than the non-ciliated cells. Non-ciliated columnar cells of the ductuli efferentes and connecting ductules contained chromatophilic granules. Cytoplasmic blebbing into the ductal lumina was found associated with these non-ciliated cells as well as the agranular cells of the ductus epididymidis and deferens. Evidence obtained from this study suggests that the non-ciliated cells of the ductuli efferentes, ductus epididymidis and ductus deferens have a contribution to make to the seminal plasma by apocrine secretion.  (+info)

Glutathione-independent prostaglandin D2 synthase in ram and stallion epididymal fluids: origin and regulation. (3/2450)

Microsequencing after two-dimensional electrophoresis revealed a major protein, glutathione-independent prostaglandin D2 synthase (PGDS) in the anterior epididymal region fluid of the ram and stallion. In this epididymal region, PGDS was a polymorphic compound with a molecular mass around 30 kDa and a range of pI from 4 to 7. PGDS represented 15% and 8% of the total luminal proteins present in this region in the ram and stallion, respectively. The secretion of the protein as judged by in vitro biosynthesis, and the presence of its mRNA as studied by Northern blot analysis, were limited to the proximal caput epididymidis. Using a specific polyclonal antibody raised against a synthetic peptide, PGDS was found throughout the epididymis, decreasing in concentration toward the cauda region. PGDS was also detected in the testicular fluid and seminal plasma by Western blotting. Castration and efferent duct ligation in the ram led to a decrease in PGDS mRNA and secretion. PGDS mRNA was not detected in the stallion 1 mo after castration, and it was restored by testosterone supplementation. This study showed that PGDS is present in the environment of spermatozoa throughout the male genital tract. Its function in the maturation and/or protection of spermatozoa is unknown.  (+info)

Localization of sodium bicarbonate cotransporter (NBC) protein and messenger ribonucleic acid in rat epididymis. (4/2450)

An acidic environment is important for sperm maturation in the epididymis and also helps to maintain mature sperm in an immotile state during storage in this organ. Both an Na+/H+ exchanger and an H+ATPase have been implicated in this process. The H+ATPase is concentrated in specialized apical (and/or narrow) and clear cells of the epididymis, while the Na+/H+ exchanger has not yet been localized in situ. As in other proton-secreting epithelia, bicarbonate transport occurs in the epididymis, where it is implicated in luminal acidification. In this study we used an antibody raised against a fusion protein (maltose-binding protein: MBP-NBC-5) from the C-terminus of the recently cloned rat kidney Na+/HCO3- cotransporter (NBC) to localize this protein in the epididymis and vas deferens of the rat. The distribution of the respective mRNA was mapped by in situ hybridization. NBC message was strongly expressed in the initial segment and the intermediate zone of the epididymis, and the NBC-5 antibody gave a strong basolateral staining in both principal cells and apical/narrow cells in this region. Western blotting revealed a single band at about 160 kDa in the epididymis. The intensity of staining as well as mRNA levels decreased in the cauda epididymidis and in the vas deferens, where only weak staining was seen. Basolateral NBC may function in parallel with apical proton secretion to regulate luminal acidification and/or bicarbonate reabsorption in the excurrent duct system.  (+info)

Involvement of polyomavirus enhancer activator 3 in the regulation of expression of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase messenger ribonucleic acid-IV in the rat epididymis. (5/2450)

Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) mRNA-IV and polyomavirus enhancer activator 3 (PEA3) mRNA are highly expressed in the initial segment of the rat epididymis, and both are regulated by testicular factors. PEA3 protein in rat initial segment nuclear extracts has been shown to bind to a PEA3/Ets binding motif, which is derived from the partially characterized GGT mRNA-IV promoter region. This suggests that PEA3 may be involved in regulating transcription from the rat GGT mRNA-IV gene promoter in the initial segment. Using DNA oligonucleotide primers and DNA sequencing analysis, an approximately 1500-basepair (bp) DNA sequence at the 5' region of the promoter was obtained. Using transient transfection, PEA3 activated transcription of the rat GGT mRNA-IV promoter only in cultured epididymal cells from the rat initial segment, but not in Cos-1 or NRK-52E cells. Promoter deletion analysis indicated that a PEA3/Ets binding motif between nucleotides -22 and -17 is the functional site for PEA3 to activate transcription of GGT promoter IV and that an adjacent Sp1 binding motif is also required to maintain promoter IV activity in epididymal cells. Transcriptional activation of promoter IV was shown to be epididymal cell-specific and PEA3-specific. In addition, PEA3 may act as a weak repressor for transcription of promoter IV, probably using a PEA3/Ets binding motif(s) distal to the transcription start site. A model of how PEA3 is involved in the regulation of transcription of GGT promoter IV in epididymal cells is proposed.  (+info)

An intact sperm nuclear matrix may be necessary for the mouse paternal genome to participate in embryonic development. (6/2450)

We have been interested in determining the minimally required elements in the sperm head that are necessary in order for the paternal genome to participate in embryogenesis. We used an ionic detergent, mixed alkyltrimethylammonium bromide (ATAB), plus dithiothreitol (DTT) to remove the acrosome and almost all of the perinuclear theca, leaving only the sperm nucleus morphologically intact. We also tested the stability of the sperm nuclear matrix by the ability to form nuclear halos. Sperm nuclei washed in freshly prepared 0.5% ATAB + 2 mM DTT completely decondensed when extracted with salt, but nuclei washed in the same buffer that was 1 wk old, and then extracted with salt, produced nuclear halos, indicating stable nuclear matrices. When we treated sperm heads with freshly prepared ATAB+DTT and injected them into oocytes, none of the oocytes developed into live offspring. In contrast, sperm heads treated in the same way but with 1-wk-old ATAB+DTT solution could support development of about 30% of the oocytes to live offspring. Electron microscopy demonstrated that most of the perinuclear theca had been removed in both cases. These data suggest that at least in the mouse, the only component of the spermatozoa that is crucial for participation in embryologic development is the sperm nucleus with a stable nuclear matrix.  (+info)

Identification of Rickettsia rickettsii in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues by immunofluorescence. (7/2450)

With slight modification of a trypsin digestion technique, Rickettsia rickettsii were demonstrated specifically by immunofluorescence staining in Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections from a human, rhesus monkey, and guinea pig with Rocky Mountain spotted fever and in infected membranes from a chicken embryo. Tissues were cut at 4 micron and, using geltain as a tissue adhesive, were hydrated in a routine manner. Sections were then digested in refrigerated 0.1% trypsin for 16 h, washed, and stained specifically for R. rickettsii by direct or indirect immunofluorescence. Rickettsial organisms were localized in affected vessels of the mammalian species and within the yolk sac epithelium of the chicken embryo. Specificity was confirmed by adsorbing antibody conjugates with R. rickettsii organisms. Trypsin digestion probably decreased tissue proteins which interfered with immunochemical attachment of antibody to the rickettsiae. The technique is valuable in that a diagnosis of Rocky Mountain spotted fever can be confirmed from Formalin-fixed tissues processed in a routine manner.  (+info)

Reversing adipocyte differentiation: implications for treatment of obesity. (8/2450)

Conventional treatment of obesity reduces fat in mature adipocytes but leaves them with lipogenic enzymes capable of rapid resynthesis of fat, a likely factor in treatment failure. Adenovirus-induced hyperleptinemia in normal rats results in rapid nonketotic fat loss that persists after hyperleptinemia disappears, whereas pair-fed controls regain their weight in 2 weeks. We report here that the hyperleptinemia depletes adipocyte fat while profoundly down-regulating lipogenic enzymes and their transcription factor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma in epididymal fat; enzymes of fatty acid oxidation and their transcription factor, PPARalpha, normally low in adipocytes, are up-regulated, as are uncoupling proteins 1 and 2. This transformation of adipocytes from cells that store triglycerides to fatty acid-oxidizing cells is accompanied by loss of the adipocyte markers, adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein 2, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and leptin, and by the appearance of the preadipocyte marker Pref-1. These findings suggest a strategy for the treatment of obesity by alteration of the adipocyte phenotype.  (+info)

β-N-acetylhexosaminidase exhibits a relatively high activity in human epididymis. Its isoenzymatic profile and immunological properties led us to conclude that the increased activity was not due to the expression of an isoform unrelated to the HEX A and B present in other human tissues. Measurement of enzyme levels in the three distinct epididymal regions revealed that in any given sample, activity was higher in the caput than in the corpus or cauda. Moreover, we found a striking correlation between β-HEX activity in the caput region and concentrations of blood testosterone, suggesting a possible involvement of the hormone in modulating enzyme expression. Since the caput epididymis plays a role in the maturation of sperm cells, our data may be an indication that β-HEX activity in the caput has a physiological relevance in human epididymis functions.. ...

An atlas of human proximal epididymis reveals cell-specific functions and distinct roles for CFTR | Life Science AllianceAn atlas of human proximal epididymis reveals cell-specific functions and distinct roles for CFTR | Life Science Alliance
The generation of single cell sequencing data from human tissues is transforming our understanding of biological mechanisms. This is particularly true for poorly studied organs and tissues that are difficult to obtain. One such tissue is the human male genital duct, the epididymis and vas deferens, which have a pivotal role in sperm maturation and hence maintenance of the species. Most models of epididymis function are based upon other mammals, which show substantial anatomic and functional diversity. Here, we construct a single cell atlas of the human proximal epididymis, which reveals detailed molecular characterization of both common and rare cell types, and hence may advance our understanding of mechanisms of male fertility.. The key functions of the epididymis are performed by the cells lining the lumen of the duct, which maintain a low pH environment necessary for sperm quiescence. These cells also secrete a wide spectrum of proteins, peptides, and RNAs that provide the necessary cues for ...

In our previous studies, we showed that a finasteride-induced DHT deficiency may cause changes in the morphology of the seminiferous epithelium without any morphological alteration of the epididymis. In this study, we demonstrated the constitutive immunoexpression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the testis and epididymis of Wistar rats treated with finasteride for 28 days (the duration of two cycles of the seminiferous epithelium) and 56 days (the duration of one spermatogenesis). We noted that a 56-day finasteride treatment mainly caused a decrease in the level of circulating DHT, as well as a statistically insignificant decrease in the level of T. The hormone deficiency also led to a change in the iNOS immnoexpression in the testis and epididymis of the finasteride-treated rats. In vitro, DHT did not modify NO production by the epithelial cells of the caput epididymis even when stimulated with LPS and IFNγ, but it did give rise to an increase in NO production by the epithelial ...

www.ivfbaby.com Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration or PESA. A needle is passed through the scrotal skin and into the epididymis in order to aspirate sperm. Because the epididymal tubule is very delicate and convoluted, the yield with a needle is typically small and usually only sufficient for a single cycle of IVF-ICSI performed on the same day as the PESA. In male infertility occasionally sperm may not be reliable retrieved at all. PESA can be used for men with congenital absence of the vas and in lieu of vasectomy reversal. This procedure involves insertion of a small needle, under local anesthesia, directly into the epididymis for aspiration of a fewer number of sperm than would be necessary for fertilization by conventional IVF. However, in most cases there are more than enough sperm to fertilize all oocytes by ICSI. With newer cryopreservation techniques, there may even be sufficient numbers of sperm for freezing so that additional ICSI procedures could be performed in the future ...

Because our data suggest that sRNAs in mature sperm could have originated at multiple locations throughout the reproductive tract, we assessed the effect of paternal diet on sRNAs in the testis (n = 9 pairs), caput epididymis (n = 6), and cauda epididymis (n = 5) (fig. S5). Two prominent dietary effects on the cauda sperm RNA repertoire-increased abundance of glycine tRFs and decreased abundance of let-7-were recapitulated in the testis and epididymis but not in the liver, muscle, or blood (table S1). Thus, tissues throughout the male reproductive tract, including mature sperm, exhibit consistent changes in glycine tRFs and let-7 in response to the low-protein diet, suggesting that similar diet-responsive pathways are present throughout the tract and providing technical replication of the fundamental epigenomic changes wrought by the low-protein diet.. Our finding of robust tRNA cleavage in the epididymis but not the testis raises the possibility that the abundant tRFs in the cauda sperm might ...

The epididymis plays a significant role as a quality control organ for long-term sperm storage, maturation, and fertilizing ability and perform filtration function to eliminate abnormal or residual spermatozoa by phagocytosis. However, the role of autophagy in spermiophagy during sperm storage in turtle epididymis still needs to be studied. In this study, we reported in vivo spermiophagy via the cellular evidence of lysosome engulfment and autophagy within the principal cells during sperm storage in the turtle epididymis. Using immunofluorescence, Lysosome associated membrane protein-1 (LAMP1) and microtubule-associate protein light chain 3 (LC3) showed strong immunosignals within the apical cytoplasm of epididymal epithelia during hibernation than non-hibernation. Co-immunolabeling of LAMP1 and LC3 was strong around the phagocytosed spermatozoa in the epididymal epithelia and protein signaling of LAMP1 and LC3 was confirmed by western blotting.

Epididymis - Human AnatomyEpididymis - Human Anatomy
The epididymis is the organ with an elongated shape. It is attached to the near end of the testes, and is measuring for about 5.5 meters long, although its length could not be recognized due to its coiled feature. This part of the male reproductive organ keeps the sperm cells safe until its final stage of maturation- that is, the maturation of the tail.. Its head is known for its expanded portion that is clearly visible, and its body slowly fades out as it advances to the mid-section. The tail of the epididymis continues from the beginning of the ductus deferens. These sections are responsible for the storage of the maturing sperm cells until they are ready for ejaculation.. Normally, it takes 8 weeks for the male body to make mature sperm cells. ...

Sperm maturation in vitro: co-culture of spermatozoa and epididymal epithelium -ORCASperm maturation in vitro: co-culture of spermatozoa and epididymal epithelium -ORCA
Sperm maturation involves an intimate interaction between spermatozoa and the epididymal epithelium. Aspects of this relationship can be examined by co-incubating epididymal spermatozoa with epididymal epithelium in vitro. Plaques of epididymal epithelium from a variety of species (for example rodents, dogs, humans) can be maintained in culture medium supplemented with growth factors and androgens. When co-incubated with these epithelial cultures, immature epididymal spermatozoa undergo maturation changes that lead to the acquisition of progressive motility, zona binding and, in some instances, fertilizing capacity in vitro. The use of such co-culture techniques for the understanding of sperm maturation in vitro and in vivo is reviewed with reference to recent experiments.. ...

Here, the protein-coding genes expressed in the epididymis are described and characterized, together with examples of immunohistochemically stained tissue sections that visualize protein expression patterns of proteins that correspond to genes with elevated expression in the epididymis. Transcript profiling and RNA-data analyses based on normal human tissues have been described previously (Fagerberg et al., 2013). Analyses of mRNA expression including over 99% of all human protein-coding genes was performed using deep RNA sequencing of 172 individual samples corresponding to 37 different human normal tissue types. RNA sequencing results of 1 fresh frozen tissues representing normal epididymis was compared to 171 other tissue samples corresponding to 36 tissue types, in order to determine genes with elevated expression in epididymis. A tissue-specific score, defined as the ratio between mRNA levels in epididymis compared to the mRNA levels in all other tissues, was used to divide the genes into ...

Received: 21/Apr/2008, Accepted: 19/Jan/2009 Objective: Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is known to possess antifertility properties in female. However, according to Iranian traditional medicine, it can increase the potency in men. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of carrot seed extract (CSE) on spermatogenesis, number and motility of sperms in cauda epididyme in male rats. Materials and Methods: Forty adult male rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: control group, groups receiving lowand high doses of CSE, animals that received high-dose of CSE with gentamicin, and a gentamicin only group. After 4 weeks treatment, fasting serum samples were obtained for the sex hormone analysis. Under anesthesia, testis, cauda epididymides and sperm ducts were dissected and sperm count, motility and cauda epididymis sperm reserves (CESR) were determined. Histopathological changes of testis were also studied to assess spermatogenesis. Data analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey

Following freeze-fracture of the rat epididymis, a population of cells whose apical, but not baso-lateral, plasma membrane contains elongated intramembrane particles was found in the initial segment. From their size, shape and distribution, these cells are assumed to be the so-called apical cells of this segment. Apical cells also contain the enzyme, carbonic anhydrase which, together with the presence of rod-shaped particle on their membranes, permits their classification as mitochondria-rich cells, a specialized cell type found in some transporting epithelia. On the basis of these observations, we suggest that the apical cells may play a role in fluid and/or electrolyte transport in the initial segment of the epididymis. ...

He had bilateral orchidopexy, which relieved pain and recurrent torsion. He was then referred for fertility treatment. Literature search has shown that infertility is more associated with congenital anomalies of the epididymis and not with recurrent torsions ...

The alternative to surgical reversals or reconstruction / repair is sperm retrieval by needle aspiration, and the techniques commonly employed, are PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) and TSE (Testicular Sperm Extraction). Most men are familiar with their soft and squishies, but know little of the epididymis; sausage-like sacs attached behind each testicle that contain meters of tightly coiled miniscule tubes and canals. In essence, they connect the testicles bilaterally to the vas deferens, which constitute the main pipeline of the males reproductive tract. The epididymis is the subject of controversy, but it can be safely said that they act to accumulate and transport sperm. In the normal male, it takes 6 weeks for sperm to travel their path from genesis in the testicles to ejaculation, and a large part of that time is spent in the epididymis. The controversy though is intriguing. Some specialists believe that the very fine hairs within the epididymis literally stroke the sperm ...

Human Epididymis Protein-4 Gene Expression as a Biomarker in Patients with Ovarian Cancer in IranHuman Epididymis Protein-4 Gene Expression as a Biomarker in Patients with Ovarian Cancer in Iran
Introduction: Ovarian cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women and the fifth cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. Contrary to the challenges in developing new clinical markers using the conventional methods, recent advances in genomics and proteomics have led to identification of candidate and promising biomarkers for the diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) is such a marker that has recently been reported to correlate with recurrence or progression of epithelial ovarian cancer. The purpose of this study was to measure the expression level of HE4 gene in women with ovarian cancer. Methodology: We evaluated and compared paraffin-embedded tissue samples of 20 ovarian cancer patients with 10 samples from healthy individuals. RNA was initially extracted from the samples and cDNA was synthetized. Gene expression level was then measured using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: Our results demonstrated that HE4 gene expression

Effect of TSAA-291 on male reproductive tract and fertility of the rat. - Semantic ScholarEffect of TSAA-291 on male reproductive tract and fertility of the rat. - Semantic Scholar
Adult male rats were injected with TSAA-291 (16 beta-ethyl-17 beta-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one), a steroidal antiandrogen, daily for 30 days at two doses, viz., 10.0 and 25.0 mg/kg. The treatment caused a dose-dependent reduction in the weights of testis, epididymis, and other accessory sex glands. In the animals that received the high dose, 50% of the rats showed spermatogenic arrest in about 20% of the seminiferous tubules and Leydig cell morphology was normal. The levels of glycerylphosphorylcholine and sialic acid were significantly reduced in the cauda epididymis of all the treated rats. There was a reduction in the number of motile spermatozoa in the cauda epididymis of rats treated with high dose of the antiandrogen. This was accompanied by a reduced number of females exhibiting spermatozoa in their vaginal smears. A combination treatment of the antiandrogen and androgen appears to be a promising approach for fertility regulation in the male.

Rebuttal of a role for the epididymis in sperm quality control by phagocytosis of defective sperm | Journal of Cell ScienceRebuttal of a role for the epididymis in sperm quality control by phagocytosis of defective sperm | Journal of Cell Science
We appreciate the opportunity to discuss our paper ( Sutovsky et al., 2001a) and thank Cooper et al. for their respected opinion. Our work provides morphological and biochemical evidence that ubiquitin, a universal proteolytic marker that is also implicated in endocytosis, is found predominantly on the surface of defective spermatozoa during and after, but not prior to, their passage through the epididymis. Since the covalent ligation of ubiquitin serves as a selective, substrate-specific signal for proteolytic degradation ( Laney and Hochstrasser, 1999), we suggested the term epididymal sperm quality control. The presence of ubiquitin in human sperm ( Sutovsky et al., 2001b), seminal plasma ( Lippert et al., 1993) and epididymal epithelium ( Fraile et al., 1996; Santamaria et al., 1993) has been shown previously, and we performed an extensive set of control experiments to test the specificity of our anti-ubiquitin antibodies.

Scrotal Cysts: Treat It On Time. - Smier.orgScrotal Cysts: Treat It On Time. - Smier.org
The epididymis is tube-like cavity located around the scrotum, a part of the male reproductive system. The sperm moves into and collects in the epididymis before it moves further into the vas deferens.. Epididymal cysts, commonly called scrotal cysts refer to fluid-filled sacs that occur in the tube-like epididymis. In most cases, the cyst is a benign one. They do not cause any pain in the patient and only cause some mild discomfort. They are also not associated to cancer in any way. These cysts occur at the head of the epididymis, which is just above the testicles. They can even be found by self-inspection, or the doctor may find them through a simple physical inspection. However, these cysts or lumps are not to be compared with cancer lumps, which occur within, rather than on, the testicles.. The most common and viable treatments in metro cities like Mumbai for scrotal cysts is the scrotal cyst removal surgery. Other forms of scrotal cyst removal treatment in Mumbai include using a needle to ...

Location of the cytoplasmic droplets (CD) and their dimensions varied significantly (p,0.01) when sperm cells traverse through the regions of caput, corpus and cauda epididymis and vasdeferens respectively. The gradual diminution in the morphology of CD between the epididymal regions were related significantly (p,0.01, p,0.05). Caudal shift of the CD, along with regression in size and finally their exclusion from the sperm cells reflected one of the most important events in the maturation process of male gametes in Black Bengal buck..

TY - JOUR. T1 - Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) plays a key role in ovarian cancer cell adhesion and motility. AU - Lu, Renquan. AU - Sun, Xinghui. AU - Xiao, Ran. AU - Zhou, Lei. AU - Gao, Xiang. AU - Guo, Lin. PY - 2012/3/9. Y1 - 2012/3/9. N2 - Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) is a novel and specific biomarker for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We previously demonstrated that serum HE4 levels were significantly elevated in the majority of EOC patients but not in subjects with benign disease or healthy controls. However, the precise mechanism of HE4 protein function is unknown. In this study, we generated HE4-overexpressing SKOV3 cells and found that stably transduced cells promoted cell adhesion and migration. Knockdown of HE4 expression was achieved by stable transfection of SKOV3 cells with a construct encoding a short hairpin DNA directed against the HE4 gene. Correspondingly, the proliferation and spreading ability of HE4-expressed cells were inhibited by HE4 suppression. ...

Targeted Deletion of the Epididymal Receptor HE6 Results in Fluid Dysregulation and Male Infertility | Molecular and Cellular...Targeted Deletion of the Epididymal Receptor HE6 Results in Fluid Dysregulation and Male Infertility | Molecular and Cellular...
The HE6 receptor is expressed at high levels within the efferent ductules and the initial segment of the epididymis (32, 34), regions of the reproductive tract which are well characterized as being responsible for the absorption of ,90% of the fluid produced by the testis (4). The concentration of sperm delivered to the ductus epididymis is determined by the net fluid reabsorption across the efferent duct epithelium (4, 20). Considering the abnormal accumulation of spermatozoa within the efferent ductules observed in HE6 knockout mice, a role for this receptor in the regulation of fluid balance is suggested.. Fluid reabsorption within the efferent ductules is primarily a passive process that occurs in parallel with the establishment of an Na+ gradient across the nonciliated cells of the epithelium (17). The hydration of CO2 by carbonic anhydrase II within the nonciliated cells results in the production of H+ and HCO3−. H+ is exchanged for luminal Na+ by the apically located sodium-hydrogen ...

If It Works, Dont Fix It! Vasectomy Information Home PageIf It Works, Dont Fix It! Vasectomy Information Home Page
Ruptures. Actually, the technical term for this phenomenon is a blowout. According to Campbell s Urology (a textbook for urology students and doctors) The brunt of pressure-induced damage after vasectomy falls on the epididymis and efferent ductules . It is likely that, in time, all vasectomized men develop blowouts in either the epididymis or efferent ducts. This rupturing can occur spontaneously at any time following vasectomy, and often when the epididymis is under pressure, such as when a man is ejaculating. It doesn t feel good.. Autoimmune Responses. But that s not all. When the rupturing occurs, sperm cells enter the blood stream, where they were not naturally intended to be. As a matter of fact, nature makes a very specific point of keeping sperm cells out of the blood stream, because sperm cells have very strong enzymes on their surfaces and only half a DNA strand. What does the body think is happening? The immune system is sent on full alert to fight off a perceived infection of ...

Spermatocele - Family GPSpermatocele - Family GP
A spermatocele or epididymal cyst is a sperm filled cyst in the epididymis at the top end of the testicle. The epididymis consists of hundreds of tiny tubules that collect sperm from the testes, and join up to lead into the vas deferens, which takes the sperm to the seminal vesicle (sperm storage sac) and penis. Cyst formation may follow an injury to the testicle or a vasectomy, but often appears for no apparent reason.. A lump is felt at the top of the testicle, but separate from the testicle. It is usually painless, but may become painful if injured or infected. Bleeding into the cyst after an injury may cause a sudden increase in size and pain.. It is usually a clinical diagnosis, but an ultrasound scan can confirm the diagnosis if there is any concern.. No treatment is necessary unless the patient finds the cyst painful, uncomfortable or worrying, when it can be drained or removed.. ...

Spermiogenesis - wikidocSpermiogenesis - wikidoc
The mature spermatozoa are released from the protective Sertoli cells into the lumen of the seminiferous tubule and a process called spermiation then takes place, which removes the remaining unnecessary cytoplasm and organelles. The resulting spermatozoa are now mature but lack motility, rendering them sterile. The non-motile spermatozoa are transported to the epididymis in testicular fluid secreted by the Sertoli cells with the aid of peristaltic contraction. Whilst in the epididymis they acquire motility and become capable of fertilisation. However, transport of the mature spermatozoa through the remainder of the male reproductive system is achieved via muscle contraction rather than the spermatozoons recently acquired motility. ...

surgical sperm retrieval - Disability In Cyprussurgical sperm retrieval - Disability In Cyprus
Infertility is a very sensitive topic for various couples. Seeing other couples having babies without any hassle and youre trying so hard to conceive can be very disturbing and heart breaking. In recent times, several surgical procedures have been introduced to retrieve sperm. Lets have a look at surgical sperm collection (SSC) procedure in this post. What is SSR or Surgical sperm retrieval? SSR or surgical sperm retrieval has been developed to collect sperms from testis or epididymis. This treatment has helped million of couples to conceive genetic baby even when there is no ejaculation of sperm. In addition to this, its very simple. Percutaneous Epdidymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) In this procedure sperm is collected from epididymis with the help of small needle (no cuts are involved). After sample collection, it is examined under microscope to check the presence of sperm. If PESA is not successful, then TESA procedure is…. ...

Proteinaceous diet inhibits gossypol-induced spermatotoxicity | European Journal of HistochemistryProteinaceous diet inhibits gossypol-induced spermatotoxicity | European Journal of Histochemistry
The present study was designed to investigate the effect of a proteinaceous dietary supplement, fishmeal, on gossypolinduced spermatotoxicity. Twenty-five adult male Wistar rats, averaging 205 g b.w., were randomly sorted into four experimental groups (I-IV) of 5 animals each, and a control group. Crude cottonseed oil was administered orally to each animal in groups I-IV at a rate that provided 14 mg/kg/d free gossypol; in addition, 3 g/d, 7 g/d, and 10 g/d of fishmeal was provided as meal supplement to each animal in groups I, II and III respectively. The control group received rat pellets and water freely. At the end of the 53-day treatment period, all animals were placed under chloroform anaesthesia; the caudal epididymides were removed, minced and placed in Hams F10 solution for the evaluation of sperm count and motility. The testes were also processed for histological studies using the eosin and haematoxylin (H & E) method. Our findings revealed a dose-dependent inhibition of ...

The Krukrnberg tumor in maleThe Krukrnberg tumor in male
INTRODUCTION. In 1896 Krukenberg (1) described an unusual form of an ovarian metastasis by a gastrointestinal cancer. The analogue in male, a metastasis to the testis or epididymis by a primitive gastric cancer is extremely rare. We report an unusual metastasis to the testis and epididymis, which has all criteria to be called Krukenberg-tumor.. CASE REPORT. W.A., a 68 years old patient, was submitted to total gastrectomy in 1994. Histologically it was described a diffuse, poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma with multiple lymph node metastases along the greater and lesser gastric curvature and an isolated lymph node metastasis in the splenic hilum (TNM stage: pT3 GIII N+ M1).. One year later the patient developed a light painful swelling of the right hemiscrotum and groin. The palpation revealed a painful mandarine-like mass conglobated in the right testis and epididymis, which seemed to be connected with a further mass, about as big as a chestnut, at the external inguinal-ring. Multiple ...

Male sterilization or vasectomy is a simple procedure in which a piece of each vas deferens is cut out just above the epididymis and the cut ends are tied. This procedure is normally done under local anesthetic in the doctors office. Because the sperm stored in the epididymis can no longer flow through the vas deferens, the mans ejaculate does not contain sperm. ...

Aching pain in left testicle. (Page 2) - Thunders PlaceAching pain in left testicle. (Page 2) - Thunders Place
Sorry to revive this thread.. I have been having some pain in my left testicle for a while now, and I think the epidimymis might be enlarged. I have also been getting more serious with the PE, and getting results. I edge a lot during my PE sessions. I think the pain is either from my balls getting knocked around and squished in my pants when I exercise, really bad blue balls from the gains Ive been getting, or epididymitis.. My question is to you more experienced PEers, who have gotten gains and edge a lot: Does a lot of PE and edging predispose you to epididymitis? Is it something I need to worry about. Is it possible for the epididymis to grow without being infected/inflamed, and become a healthier, happier epididymis from PE?. Thanks everybody ...

Possible surgery. Sadly, chronic epididymitis present for that long, is not likely to go away. Many men respond for varying periods of time to antibiotic treatment.

Caput epididymis4
  • In vitro, DHT did not modify NO production by the epithelial cells of the caput epididymis even when stimulated with LPS and IFNγ, but it did give rise to an increase in NO production by the epithelial cells of the cauda epididymis without the stimulation. (degruyter.com)
  • We find that the CFTR, which is pivotal in normal epididymis fluid transport, is most abundant in surface epithelial cells in the efferent ducts and in rare clear cells in the caput epididymis, suggesting region-specific functional properties. (life-science-alliance.org)
  • Because of its dominant role in male fertility, we focused on the proximal part of the duct and generated a detailed single-cell atlas of the human caput epididymis, which is described here. (life-science-alliance.org)
  • Since the caput epididymis plays a role in the maturation of sperm cells, our data may be an indication that β-HEX activity in the caput has a physiological relevance in human epididymis functions. (unipg.it)
Ductus deferens4
  • The epididymis (plural, epididymides) is a tightly coiled mass of thin tubes that carries sperm from the testes to the ductus deferens in the male reproductive system. (anatomy-medicine.com)
  • Sperm matures as it passes through the epididymis so that it is ready to fertilize ova by the time it enters the ductus deferens. (anatomy-medicine.com)
  • The smooth muscle tissue contracts in waves of peristalsis to slowly push the sperm along the length of the epididymis toward the ductus deferens. (anatomy-medicine.com)
  • As sperm is needed for ejaculation, it moves from the epididymis to the ductus deferens and onward into the male reproductive tract. (anatomy-medicine.com)
Testis and epididymis2
  • In this study, we demonstrated the constitutive immunoexpression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the testis and epididymis of Wistar rats treated with finasteride for 28 days (the duration of two cycles of the seminiferous epithelium) and 56 days (the duration of one spermatogenesis). (degruyter.com)
  • We noted that a 56-day finasteride treatment mainly caused a decrease in the level of circulating DHT, as well as a statistically insignificant decrease in the level of T. The hormone deficiency also led to a change in the iNOS immnoexpression in the testis and epididymis of the finasteride-treated rats. (degruyter.com)
Testicles1
Cauda epididymis1
  • DHT did not have a statistically significant influence on estradiol production by cultured, LPS- and IFNγ-stimulated epithelial cells from the caput and cauda epididymis. (degruyter.com)
Epithelium3
  • In our previous studies, we showed that a finasteride-induced DHT deficiency may cause changes in the morphology of the seminiferous epithelium without any morphological alteration of the epididymis. (degruyter.com)
  • The tubule of the epididymis is made of a pseudostratified columnar epithelium lining surrounded by a layer of connective tissue and smooth muscle. (anatomy-medicine.com)
  • These cues are provided in large part by cells in the epithelium of the epididymis, which secrete a complex mixture of ions, glycoproteins, peptides, and microRNAs ( Belleannee et al, 2012a ) that coordinate sperm maturation along the length of genital ducts. (life-science-alliance.org)
Testicle2
  • Epididymis is part of the conducting system , and in situated one on either side just above and mainly behind each testicle. (healthtap.com)
  • The pain seems to be where the testicle meets the epididymis and then can be through a vein in my inner thigh. (askthedoctor.com)
Testes2
  • This a normal structure of the male reproductive system ( coiled tube that connect the testes to the vas deferens ), sperm goes through the epididymis. (healthtap.com)
  • Epididymides were dissected from adult cat testes to assess the presence and localization of cenexin in testicular tissues and each epididymal segment (caput, corpus, and cauda) via immunofluorescence, Western blot, and mass spectrometry. (springer.com)
Lumen3
  • Morphological and enzymatic study of membrane-bound vesicles from the lumen of the rat epididymis. (springer.com)
  • Stereocilia help the lining of the epididymis to absorb excess fluids from the hollow lumen of the epididymis, along with dead or defective sperm. (anatomy-medicine.com)
  • Spermatozoa released from the testis are unable to fertilize an egg without a coordinated process of maturation in the lumen of the epididymis. (life-science-alliance.org)
Posterior3
  • Epididymis is an elongated lump between testis and vas deferens , consists of a 15-20 feet long convoluted tubules for sperms to pass and mature (in10-12 days), and it usually hugs / attaches right onto the posterior aspect of testis. (healthtap.com)
  • The epididymis is a crescent-shaped coil of thin tubules located inside the scrotum and posterior to the testis. (anatomy-medicine.com)
  • Starting at the efferent tubules of the testis, the tubule of the epididymis winds over the top of the testis and then down the posterior side. (anatomy-medicine.com)
Mammalian1
  • Nicander L, Malmqvist M. Ultrastructural observations suggesting merocrine secretion in the initial segment of the mammalian epididymis. (springer.com)
Aspiration2
  • There are others too, each characterised as follows: MESA: Sperm aspiration from the epididymis by means of microsurgery. (institutobernabeu.com)
  • PESA: Percutaneous aspiration from the epididymis. (institutobernabeu.com)
Ducts1
  • The human epididymis does not have an initial segment, rather the efferent ducts (EDs) provide the conduit from the testis to the head of the epididymis (caput) where the key functions of sperm maturation are thought to occur. (life-science-alliance.org)
Sperm cells1
  • The objectives of the study were to (1) characterize mechanisms involved in transferring key factors-using the cenexin as a marker-between the epididymis and maturing sperm cells and (2) demonstrate the impact of such mechanisms on the acquisition of functional properties by spermatozoa. (springer.com)
Epididymal2
  • Evidence has also accumulated, indicating that locally formed angiotensin II from the rat epididymis may play a paracrine and/or autocrine role in regulating epididymal electrolyte and fluid transport. (deepdyve.com)
  • The present finding of the differential patterns of angiotensin II receptor immunoreactivity in three different stages of the rat epididymis may reflect the fine tuning of rat epididymal function by angiotensin II, acting as a paracrine or autocrine agent, during the course of development. (deepdyve.com)
Human5
  • Thimon V, Koukoui O, Calvo E, Sullivan R. Region-specific gene expression profiling along the human epididymis. (springer.com)
  • Here, we use single cell RNA-sequencing to construct an atlas of the human proximal epididymis. (life-science-alliance.org)
  • The human epididymis has a pivotal role in male fertility. (life-science-alliance.org)
  • Anatomical observations show that unlike in rodents, where the different functional zones of the epididymis, the initial segment, the caput (head), corpus (body), and cauda (tail) are separated by septa, the human duct has no such clear divisions, making functional analyses even more challenging. (life-science-alliance.org)
  • β-N-acetylhexosaminidase exhibits a relatively high activity in human epididymis. (unipg.it)
Infection2
  • Is it an infection of the epididymis, or is it something else? (askthedoctor.com)
  • When I did see the doctor he claimed it was an infection of the epididymis. (askthedoctor.com)
Tubule2
  • The entire mass of the epididymis is actually a single, 20-foot-long (six-meter) tubule that has been coiled upon itself so tightly that the entire mass of the epididymis is only around 1.5 inches (4 cm) long. (anatomy-medicine.com)
  • The smooth muscle of the epididymis pushes the sperm along tubule with slow waves of peristalsis, so that the sperm traverse its entire 20-foot length in about two weeks. (anatomy-medicine.com)
