This study focused on the association between gut microbiota and sperm motility, with an emphasis on analyzing differential metabolites in the intestines and blood of Rongchang boars from the high sperm motility group (group H) and low sperm motility group (group L). The results reveal...
Cryopreservation of Chengde polled goat semen plays a critical role in conserving genetic resources, enhancing the utilization efficiency of superior breeding rams, and advancing artificial insemination techniques. However, spermatozoa are vulnerable to oxidative stress during the freezing proces...
Enhancing the nation's beef supply and guaranteeing long-term food security requires increasing the effectiveness of artificial insemination (AI) in Bali cattle (Bos javanicus). Cryotolerance, or post-thaw variability in semen quality, limits AI results and probably reflects systemic and cellular...
Mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) is essential for energy production and cellular homeostasis, yet its specific role in sperm function has remained unclear. Through whole-exome sequencing of 673800 patients with asthenozoospermia, we identified biallelic TEX44 variants in six individuals...
The risk of norgestrel (NGT) exposure in the aquatic environment has been identified, but the toxic effects on invertebrate germ cells are unknown. Therefore, the toxic effects of NGT on oyster sperm were investigated by combining transcriptome and metabolome analysis with histology. Transcriptom...
