Programmed cell death is an evolutionarily conserved cell death process that plays a major
role during normal development and homeostasis. In many cases, the ordered execution of …

The purpose of the present study was to examine the possible involvement of caspase-3
and caspase-activated deoxyribonuclease in rat testicular germ cell apoptosis resulting from …

The aim of this study was to examine whether an elevated ambient temperature (37–40° C)
had an effect on the apoptosis of germ cells and the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in porcine …

This study was undertaken to determine the extent of apoptosis and mitosis in the various
testicular cell types throughout rat development from foetal day 14.5 to postnatal days 9–10 …

During normal spermatogenesis, more than half of the germ cells undergo apoptosis, but the
physiological significance and molecular mechanisms of this programmed cell death are …

Testicular torsion or torsion of the spermatic cord is one of the most serious urological
conditions. It causes testicular injury, which potentially leads to male subfertility. The turning …

Testicular torsion/detorsion causes severe tissue damage due to ischemia/reperfusion
injury. The present study investigated the protective effect of erythropoietin and sildenafil …

Apoptosis occurs in the testis as an important physiological mechanism to limit the number
of germ cells in the seminiferous epithelium. Sertoli cells, which tightly regulate germ cell …

This study investigates the role of caspase 2 in apoptotic signaling of nonhuman primate
male germ cells triggered by mild testicular hyperthermia, testosterone (Te) implants, or by …

OBJECTIVE: To assess what the distributions of Fas system proteins are in normal rat
testicular tissue; to assess whether there is a change in these distributions and in expression …
