Journal ArticleDOI
New insights into epididymal function in relation to sperm maturation.
TL;DR: This review reports and discusses the most relevant new results obtained in different species regarding the various cellular processes occurring at the sperm level, in particular, those related to the development of motility and egg binding during epididymal transit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-testicular sperm environment and fertility
Jean-Luc Gatti,Sandrine Castella,Françoise Dacheux,Heath Ecroyd,Sonia Métayer,Véronique Thimon,Jean-Louis Dacheux +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that the main secreted proteins are common in different species and that enzymatic activities, capable of controlling the sperm surface changes, are present in the fluid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of epididymal secretory proteins for spermatozoa maturation
TL;DR: Correlations between the highly regionalized epididymal activities and sperm characteristics linked to their survival and fertility potential are presented in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
A porcine homolog of the major secretory protein of human epididymis, HE1, specifically binds cholesterol.
Naomichi Okamura,Sachiko Kiuchi,Michiko Tamba,Takayuki Kashima,Shinsuke Hiramoto,Tadashi Baba,Françoise Dacheux,Jean-Louis Dacheux,Yoshiki Sugita,Yin-Zhe Jin +9 more
TL;DR: It was found that the He1 homolog is a major cholesterol-binding protein in the porcine epididymal fluid and the possibility that the HE1 homology is involved in the regulation of the lipid composition of the sperm membranes during the maturation in epidIDymis is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stallion epididymal fluid proteome: qualitative and quantitative characterization; secretion and dynamic changes of major proteins.
TL;DR: Comparison between the secretion of the major proteins and their concentrations in the lumen throughout the organ showed that the behavior of each protein is specific, in particular for the three isoforms of clusterin.
