Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses spermatophores and sperm transfer in marine crustaceans. The use of spermatophores as the main mode of sperm transfer by crustaceans is important in two respects. First, most crustacean spermatozoa, and all decapod spermatozoa, are aflagellate and non-motile spermatozoa, are aflagellate and non-motile, and hence need a vehicle for their transference to females in the absence of a copulatory organ. Secondly, crustaceans have employed spermatophores as an effective method for sperm transfer in aquatic media inasmuch as the cryptozoic arthropods have used them in land habitat. This chapter reviews the morphological diversity of spermatophores and the mechanism of sperm release from spermatophores. Special attention is paid to the origin of spermatophoric components in the male reproductive tract, spermatophore hardening, biochemistry of the seminal plasma with reference to sperm survival, and maintenance during storage inside the female reproductive tract, deals first with the brachyuran crabs, whose breeding is best known, and then goes in the reverse of the usual taxonomic order to the lobsters and prawns and less studied orders of Crustacea.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ellagic acid begets apoptosis in DMH-induced colon carcinoma, and the involvement of PI3K-Akt signaling through whichEllagic acid induces apoptosis and subsequently suppresses colon cancer during DMH -induced rat colon carcinogenesis is revealed.

TL;DR: The present work evaluated the regulatory effect exerted by Vitamin C and Vitamin E upon the apoptotic process, which can be assessed by the presence of cells with apoptosis associated DNA breaks and characterize the role of TNF-α and caspase-3 in rats intoxicated with arsenic.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the early development of H. elegans is highly sensitive to heavy metals and this polychaete can be routinely employed as a test organism for ecotoxicity bioassays in tropical and subtropical regions.
