A significant proportion of mammalian fertilization is mediated through the proteomic
composition of the sperm surface. These protein constituents can present as biomarkers to …

Despite significant improvements in treatment protocols and laboratory techniques, the baby
take-home rate after assisted reproduction (ART) is disappointing, eg 20% in Germany. It is …

Seminal plasma aids sperm by inhibiting premature capacitation, helping in the intracervical
transport and formation of an oviductal sperm reservoir, all of which appear to be important …

The recruitment of leukocytes, mediated by endothelium bound chemokine gradients, is a
vital process in inflammation. The highly negatively charged, unbranched polysaccharide …

The camel seminal plasma contains a diverse array of components including lipids,
carbohydrates, peptides, ions and proteins. These are essential for maintaining normal …

Context: Disturbed protein–carbohydrate interactions may underlie the molecular
mechanism of some diseases of the male reproductive tract, including infertility and prostate …

Prolactin inducible protein (PIP) is a 17kDa glycoprotein. It binds to many proteins including
fibrinogen, actin, keratin, myosin, immunoglobulin G, CD4, and human zinc-alpha-2 …

Sulfate-based lipids (SL) have been proposed as players in inflammation, immunity and
infection. In spite of the many biochemical processes linked to SL, analysis on this class of …

Cattleyak (hybrid of cattle and yak) exhibit higher capability in adaptability and production
than cattle and yak, while the infertility of F1 males greatly restricts the effective utilization of …

Despite the explosive increase in the use of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) over
the last 30 years, their success rates remain suboptimal. Proteomics is a rapidly-evolving …
