BACKGROUND: Semen quality is negatively correlated with male age and is mainly quantified by a routine semen analysis, which is descriptive and inconclusive. Sperm proteins or semen metabolites are used as the intermediate or end-products, reflecting changes in semen quality, an...
Oxidative stress frequently causes a reduction in the quality of frozen-thawed sperm. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) has an antioxidant protective effect on frozen semen of animals such as goats, camels and buffaloes. However, it is not clear whether ZnONPs can improve the quality and lipid co...
Background: Semen Cuscutae flavonoids (SCFs) constitute a class of metabolites of Semen Cuscutae, a botanical drug that was recently found to have an anti-depression effect. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-depression effects of SCFs in chronic unpredi...
Our analyses uncover enrichment of exosome-based protein signatures specific to blood and semen along with identification of tissue-dependent and -independent perturbations in blood and semen exosomes.

Our recent studies suggested that the freezability of carp semen is related to seminal plasma protein profiles. Here, we aimed to compare the spermatozoa proteomes of good (GF) and poor (PF) freezability semen of carp. To achieve this, we used two-dimensional difference in gel electrophoresis follow...
