Abstract Triatoma lecticularia (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) (Stal, 1859) is a potential vector of Chagas's disease and the comprehension of its reproductive biology is an important tool to control this insect. In the reproductive tract of female insects, the spermatheca plays a crucial role storing male sperm...
ABSTRACT The germinative, Sertoli and Leydig cells of two caviomorph rodents (Cavia porcellus and Dasyprocta agouti) were counted as well as the estimation of the total volume of the testis and the total volume of seminiferous tubules and interstitium in prepubertal, pubertal and adult animals. The numbe...
Introducción: La morfología espermática es uno de los parámetros más importantes que se evalúan durante el análisis seminal, aunque es un parámetro que presentan alta variabilidad inter-laboratorios. Por lo tanto el objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la variación interindividuo al analizar ...
We aimed to compare fresh sperm and sperm cooled to 4ºC that had been recovered from the epididymides of cats using powdered coconut water (ACP-117c) and Tris extenders. Sixty epididymides were divided into 6 groups: 10 fresh epididymides were recovered using Tris (T0h); 10 were kept at 4°C/2h and reco...
ABSTRACT This study describes a new method of microcentrifugation as an improved, viable, cost-effective option to the classical Cytospin apparatus to confirm azoospermia. Azoospermic semen samples were evaluated for cryptozoospermia by a centrifugation method similar to that of World Health Organization...
En los organismos vivos, las cantidades de radicales libres y especies reactivas del oxígeno (ROS) son controladas por un complejo sistema de homeostasis, capaz de mantener niveles fisiológicos de ROS necesarios para el funcionamiento y regulación de algunas biomoléculas. Paralelamente, los organismo...
En la aplicación de técnicas reproductivas es importante determinar in vitro la capacidad fecundante de los espermatozoides, para ello se utilizan combinaciones de tinciones para evaluar los diferentes parámetros de función espermática, aumentando así la precisión de la estimación de la muestra. ...
The restriction of the mechanisms of cell proliferation in murine seminiferous epithelium, in terms of induction of programmed cell death until recently has not been fully analyzed. The aim of this work was to assess the effect of Malathion (MP) on testicular morphology and function in mouse spermatogene...
