The epididymis is responsible for post-testicular sperm maturation, which consists in the
acquisition of forward motility and fertilizing ability. This organ is composed of three main …

Androgens are responsible for maintaining epididymal structure and functions. However,
little is known about how androgen action is mediated and the mechanisms underlying the …

In 1926, pioneering studies by Benoit demonstrated that the epididymis is dependent on an
unknown testicular substance for maintenance of its structure and functions; the ratio of …

Abstract Approximately 48.2% of couples of 15 to 49 years of age practice family planning
methods in India. Female sterilization accounts for 34.2%, with male sterilization declining …

To identify the initial response to androgens and estrogens in the orchidectomized,
regressed epididymis, we determined the gene expression changes triggered by the …

Few studies have focused on experimental testosterone deprivation in immature animals.
Therefore, this study used sexually immature rats aiming to evaluate the testes and …

Androgens are the primary regulators of epididymal structure and functions. In the classical
view of androgen action, binding of androgen to the intracellular androgen receptor (AR) …

Background The present study was undertaken to evaluate the changes in rhesus monkey
sperm surface glycoconjugates during maturation, ejaculation, and capacitation in order to …

The temporal effects of oral administration of cyproterone acetate (CPA), a progestational
