A long-standing problem in epididymal physiology is the fate of unejaculated spermatozoa
in the cauda epididymidis under conditions such as congenital absence of the vas deferens …

In a recent Research Article by Sutovsky et al., the authors interpret their results to mean that
in the normal animal the epididymis '... provides a mechanism for sperm quality control...'and …

The effects of ligation of an isolated loop of the ductus epididymidis in the region of the caput
were compared with those of the exfoliative lesion of the epididymis that follows …

Sites of protein absorption and secretion in the epididymis and changes in sperm
antigenicity during their maturation and senescence were investigated. Tissue and sperm …

In fertile men, the majority of epididymal spermatozoa acquire the potential to fertilize
(assessed with sperm function assays) on passage into the corpus and cauda regions of the …

The data from several recent articles1-9 have been interpreted as supporting previous
suggestions10 and implications11 that cast doubt on the need for spermatozoa to reside in …

In order to elucidate the way in which the epididymis and vas deferens first react to and
dispose of the continuous influx of spermatozoa from the testis after vasectomy, the effects of …

As far as can be determined now, the general organization of the human epididymis, the
regional character of its epithelium and luminal environment, and the maturation changes …

Micropuncture samples were taken from the rete testis, caput epididymidis and cauda
epididymidis of anaesthetized adult rats and assayed for total protein, sodium and …

The rat epididymis decreases markedly in weight after orchidectomy. In these studies, we
demonstrate that a time-dependent wave of apoptotic cell death occurs in some principal …
