The purification of a protein inhibiting lipid peroxidation led to the discovery of the
selenoperoxidase GPx4 forty years ago. Thus, the evidence of the enzymatic activity was …

The citrate carrier (CIC) is an integral protein of the inner mitochondrial membrane which
catalyzes the efflux of mitochondrial citrate (or other tricarboxylates) in exchange with a …

Impaired spermatogenesis and male infertility are common manifestations associated with
mitochondrial diseases, yet the underlying mechanisms linking these conditions remain …

Cryodamage affects the normal physiological functions and survivability of boar sperm
during cryopreservation. Lysine acetylation is thought to be an important regulatory …

Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are active regulators of a wide range of biological and
physiological processes, including the majority of mammalian reproductive events …

Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are a class of ubiquitous chemicals in drinking water and
inevitably result in widespread human exposures. Potentially adverse health effects of DBP …

Maintenance and differentiation of germline stem and progenitor cells (GSPCs) is important
for sexual reproduction. Here, the authors identify zebrafish pld6 as a novel germline …

Mammalian spermatogenesis is associated with the transient appearance of condensed
mitochondria, a singularity of germ cells with unknown function. Using proteomic analysis …

Background While it is common to clinically evaluate sperm nuclear DNA fragmentation, less
attention has been given to sperm mitochondrial DNA. Recently, a digital PCR assay has …

The novel brominated flame retardant, 1, 2-bis (2, 4, 6-tribromophenoxy) ethane (BTBPE),
has increasingly been detected in environmental and biota samples. However, limited …
