MicroRNA ‐130a inhibits spermatogenesis by directly targeting androgen receptor in mouse Sertoli cells
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play a key role in the spermatogenesis. However, whether miRNAs influence androgen/androgen receptor signaling during spermatogenesis remains unclear. The current study suggested that miR ‐130a disrupted spermatogenesis by directly targeting androgen receptor in mouse Sertoli cells MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play a key role in spermatogenesis. However, whether the miRNAs influence androgen/androgen receptor (AR) signaling during spermatogenesis remains unclear. Using a bioinformatic approach, a potential miRNA, miR ‐130a, which could bind toAr‐3′untranslated region d...

Upregulation of HB ‐EGF, Msx.1, and miRNA Let‐7a by administration of calcitonin through mTOR and ERK1/2 pathways during a window of implantation in mice
ConclusionCalcitonin improved the receptivity of the uterine endometrium by upregulation of the HB ‐EGF, Msx.1, and miRNA Let‐7a likely through mTOR and ERK1/2 signaling pathway. (Source: Molecular Reproduction and Development)

Evaluation of ovarian and metabolic effects of GnRH modulators in two rat models of polycystic ovary syndrome
Leuprolide and cetrorelix showed improvement in follicular development, which could be helpful for improving fertility in PCOS. Gonadotropin ‐releasing hormone (GnRH) modulators are widely used in numerous reproductive conditions including infertility. Several clinical studies showed mixed results regarding the efficacy of GnRH modulators in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Along with this, few preclinical studies focus on the effect of GnRH modulators in PCOS‐induced animals. Therefore, the present study was designed to study the effect of leuprolide and cetrorelix on hormonal, metabolic, and menstrual ...

Gene alterations and expression spectrum of SPATA33 in nonobstructive azoospermic Iranian men
Increased expression of SPATA33, during the first wave of spermatogenesis, indicates its possible association with the meiotic process. SPATA33 gene, may not impair spermatogenesis in NOA patients AbstractGenetic abnormalities have been considered a significant cause of male infertility. Increased expression of SPATA33 during the first wave of spermatogenesis indicates its possible association with the meiotic process. The aim of the current study was to investigate the genetic variations in theSPATA33 gene and its expression in patients with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA). A total of 100 Iranian NOA men with idiopathic ...

Assessing recrudescence of photoregressed Siberian hamster ovaries using in vitro whole ovary culture
We applied the whole ovary in vitro culture to study recrudescence or the return of ovarian function in seasonally breeding species. Adult female Siberian hamsters were exposed to either stimulatory or inhibitory photoperiods Before 10 days of whole ovary culture with or without gonadotropins (GT). When short ‐day ovaries were cultured with GT as compared to without GT, changes in ovarian mass, messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of folliculogenic growth factors, and media estradiol and progesterone concentrations were noted, suggesting that this in vitro model could be a useful tool to study the return of function in photor...

Antioxidant hesperetin improves the quality of porcine oocytes during aging in vitro
This study investigated whether hesperetin prevents aging of oocytesin vitro in which it determined the maturation of nuclear and cytoplasm and the developmental capacity of embryo by modulating the ROS level. Porcine oocytes were maturedin vitro for 44 h (control) and for an additional 24 h in the presence of 0, 1, 10, 100, and 250 μM hesperetin (aging, H‐1, H‐10, H‐100, and H‐250, respectively). Although there was no difference in the rate of maturation among all the groups, both the control and H‐100 groups significantly increased in the rate of cleavage and blastocyst formation compared to the aging group. T...
