Aquaporin proteins (AQPs) are a family of channels expressed in numerous mammalian
tissues, where they play a fundamental role in regulating water transport across cell …

Contents Freezing of boar spermatozoa includes the cryoprotectant glycerol, but renders low
cryosurvival, owing to major changes in osmolarity during freezing/thawing. We hypothesize …

Water content within the epididymis of the male reproductive system is stringently regulated
to promote sperm maturation. Several members of the aquaporin (AQP) family of water …

Aquaporins are suggested to be involved in hydration, activation and final release of
gametes. Aquaporin3a (AQP3a) was cloned and sequenced from Cyprinus carpio to …

Thirteen mammalian aquaporin (AQPs) isoforms with a unique tissue-specific pattern of
expression have been identified. To date, 11 isoforms of AQP have been reported to be …

Spermatogenesis, the maturation of spermatozoa and their concentration and storage in the
seminiferous vessels are associated with considerable fluid secretion or absorption in the …

Aquaporins (AQPs), a family of small membrane‐spanning proteins, are involved in fluid
transport, cell signalling and reproduction. Regulating AQP8 expression influences …

Context In the epididymis, epithelial cells manage changes in the luminal environment for
proper sperm maturation. Moreover, aquaglyceroporins, a subgroup of aquaporins (AQP) …

Fluid homeostasis is recognized as a critical factor during the development, maturation, and
function of vertebrate male germ cells. These processes have been associated with the …

Aquaporin 1 (AQP1) is one of the water channels involved in water transfer and
reabsorption. The results of a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) …
