Background Spermatozoa interactions with fallopian tubes may influence fertilization. The
purpose was to investigate cytokines, chemokines and growth factors expression from …

Toll‐like receptors (TLR) are one of the major compartments of innate immune system. It was
revealed that the TLR have relevance in ovulation, sperm capacitation and fertilisation. So …

In the cow, cryopreserved semen is inseminated into the uterus, and most of sperm are
removed by backflow and phagocytes. Nevertheless, the mechanism responsible for sperm …

Background Toll‐like receptors play a crucial role in the immunological interaction between
the spermatozoa and fallopian tube and contribute to the ovulation, sperm capacitation …

Background and Aims Anti-sperm antibodies in can markedly reduce the likelihood of
natural conception. The etiology of this anti-sperm immunity in human females is unknown …

Sperm must pass a complex route in the female reproductive tract (FRT) to reach the
fertilization site and join the oocyte. Thus, it should employ several mechanisms to survive …

Aim: To investigate if interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), interleukin‐8 (IL‐8), interleukin‐10 (IL‐10),
interferon‐gamma (IFN‐α) or tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) are able to stimulate the …

Seminal plasma (SP) contains immunomodulatory factors that may contribute to the
formation of a tolerogenic environment at the embryo implantation site. The main focus of …

OBJECTIVE: To study the potential protective action in vitro of oviductal epithelial cell
membrane proteins against oxidative damage in human spermatozoa. DESIGN: Prospective …

Objective The DNA integrity of spermatozoa that attach to fallopian tube (FT) cells is higher
than spermatozoa that do not attach. FT epithelial cells can distinguish normal and abnormal …
