Comparative analysis of testis and ovary transcriptomes in zebrafish by combining experimental and computational tools
(Wiley, 2004)Studies on the zebrafish model have contributed to our understanding of several important developmental processes, especially those that can be easily studied in the embryo. However, knowledge on late events such as gonad ... -
A Global Survey of Reproductive Specialists to Determine the Clinical Utility of Oxidative Stress Testing and Antioxidant Use in Male Infertility
(The world journal of men's health, 2021)Globally, infertility impacts 15% of couples trying to conceive. The incidence of male infertility has been increasing over the past several decades, ranging from 20% to 70% worldwide [1,2]. The male partner is found to ... -
Gonad differentiation in zebrafish is regulated by the canonical Wnt signalling pathway
(Society for the Study of Reproduction, 2014)Zebrafish males undergo a ‘‘juvenile ovary-to-testis’’ gonadal transformation process. Several genes, including nuclear receptor subfamily 5, group A (nr5a) and anti-Mu¨ llerian hormone (amh), and pathways such as Tp53-mediated ... -
In vitro effects of aqueous extract of unfermented rooibos on human spermatozoa
(Wiley, 2022)The inability to conceive is a baleful experience for thousands of couples worldwide. Among different well-known reproductive techniques, medicinal plants have been utilized to treat male infertility. Medicinal plants, ... -
Obesity is associated with increased seminal insulin and leptin alongside reduced fertility parameters in a controlled male cohort
(BioMed Central, 2014)Obesity appears to be associated with male reproductive dysfunction and infertility, although this has been inconsistent and inconclusive. Insulin and leptin are known mediators and modulators of the hypothalamus-pituitary-testes ... -
Transcriptomic analysis reveal novel genes with sexually dimorphic expression in the zebrafish gonad and brain
(Plosone, 2008)Our knowledge on zebrafish reproduction is very limited. We generated a gonad-derived cDNA microarray from zebrafish and used it to analyze large-scale gene expression profiles in adult gonads and other organs. We have ...
