Postnatal developmental anatomy of testes and epididymis of Gaddi goats

Int. j. morphol; 32 (4), 2014
The study revealed that the testes of one-day-old Gaddi goats have descended in the scrotum along with adnexa. They were elongated compressed latero-medially and became ovoid during their postnatal growth and morphogenesis. The two testes were not different significantly in their weight and measurement. ...

Triplex Doppler evaluation of the testes in dogs of different sizes

Pesqui. vet. bras; 34 (11), 2014
This study aimed to assess whether there are differences in Doppler velocimetry parameters between different sizes. Twenty dogs were equally divided into small and large groups used in this study. The dogs were evaluated using Triplex ultrasound. Testicular artery was located by Colour Doppler in the spe...

Protective effect of curcumin against nicotine-induced damage on reproductive parameters in male mice

Int. j. morphol; 32 (3), 2014
Nicotine consumption can decrease fertility drive in males through inducing oxidative stress and DNA damage. The color of turmeric is because of a substance called curcumin for which some anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties have been identified. In this study, various doses of curcumin (10, 3...

Apéndices testicular y epididimario en individuos brasileños

Int. j. morphol; 32 (3), 2014
Los apéndices testiculares y epididimarios son remanescentes embriológicos del conducto paramesonéfrico y del conducto mesonéfrico, respectivamente. Estos apéndices pueden sufrir torsión causando un cuadro conocido como escroto agudo. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo determinar las variacione...

Precocidade sexual em bovinos Nelore avaliada por ultrassonografia testicular

The present study aimed to evaluate if there are differences in testicular parenchyma echogenicity between pre-pubescent and pubescent animals at the same age. Ultrasound examinations were performed in longitudinal and transversal planes of the testicles of 111 healthy Nelore bovines, at the ages of nine...

Postnatal development of testis in gaddi goat (capra hircus)

Int. j. morphol; 32 (1), 2014
A study was conducted on the testicles of 30 male Gaddi goats, divided into 3 groups viz; prepubertal (0 day to 18 months), pubertal (<18 months to >5 yrs) and post- pubertal (>5 yrs) ages. The study revealed that the testis was covered by fibroserous tunica albuginia having outer fibrous layer and...

Efecto de la maca peruana (lepidium meyenii) y de la melatonina sobre el desarrollo testicular del ratón expuesto a hipoxia hipobárica continua

Int. j. morphol; 32 (1), 2014
El estudio de la hipoxia hipobárica (HH) determina un problema de salud pública y laboral en poblaciones que habitan en zonas de altura. La disminución del oxígeno afecta a diferentes órganos, incluyendo el testículo. El organismo responde frente a la hipoxia estimulando la angiogénesis, el flujo ...

Effects of malathion on cellularity and sperm differentiation in testis and epididymis of adult rats

Int. j. morphol; 32 (1), 2014
Malathion is an organophosphorous insecticide, used worldwide for pest and disease control; however, it could also affect the reproductive patterns of several species. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of malathion in the cellularity and sperm differentiation in testis and epididymis of ...

Human testis-expressed sequence 101 is limitedly distributed in germinal epithelium of testis and disappears in seminoma

Biol. Res; 47 (), 2014
BACKGROUND: Testis-expressed sequence 101 (TEX101) was found to be highly expressed in testis and involved in acrosome reaction in previous studies. Recently, the metastasis suppressor function of TEX101 in cancer was disclosed, but the comprehensive investigation of its expression has rarely been report...
