The Effects of Vasectomy on Epididymal Morphology and Sperm Parameters in Adult Male Balb/c mice Efectos de la Vasectomía sobre la Morfología del Epidídimo y los Parámetros Espermáticos en Ratones Balb/c Adultos

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of vasectomy on epididymal morphology and sperm parameters in adult male Balb/c mice were explored in two groups (vasectomy and sham) via a lower mid-abdominal incision.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phagocytic Activity of Accessory Cells in the Gonad of the Sea Urchin Strongylocentrotus nudus

TL;DR: The ultrastructural mechanism of postspawning sperm resorption in the testes of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus nudus is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mucuna pruriens seed powder feeding influences reproductive conditions and development in Japanese quail Coturnix coturnix japonica.

TL;DR: Results suggest that M. pruriens is a rich natural source of l-DOPA and the development and reproduction in Japanese quail might be associated with the dopaminergic system of the brain.
Dissertation

Effect of Versican Protein on the Cumulus Expansion of Buffalo Oocytes Complexes and its Role Sperm Transport

TL;DR: It is concluded that IL-1B supplementation in IVM medium can improve cumulus expansion and development ability of poor quality buffalo oocytes and both cleavage and blastocyst development rates were improved with IL- 1B addition as compared to BCBcontrol.

Seasonal breeding:nature's contraceptive.

TL;DR: The seasonal cycle highlights the seasonal changes in daylight length, rutting behavior, testicular diameter, sexual skin flush, and concentrations of plasma follicle-stimulating hormone, prolactin, and testosterone in a group of rams throughout the year.
Journal ArticleDOI

The physiological responses of anovulatory ewes to the introduction of rams: a review.

TL;DR: Ewes of many breeds can be stimulated to ovulate by the reintroduction of rams and appear to be effected both through a delay in the onset of the LH surge and through a direct action of progesterone on the ovary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Factors affecting the secretion of luteinizing hormone in the ewe.

TL;DR: LH is secreted as discrete pulses throughout all stages of the reproductive cycle of the ewe, including pre‐pubertal, seasonal and lactational anoestrus, and the luteal and follicular phases of the oestrous cycle.

Nutritional influences on reproduction in mature male sheep and goats

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that nutritional signals exert powerful effects on the reproductive system of mature male ruminants, and the responses are partly independent of changes in gonadotrophin secretion.
