The seminal vesicles : anatomy, comparative anatomy and development.
There are many reasons which induced me to choose this subject for a thesis. I would like to mentioned only the most important one. Between 1942 and 1945, while in the South African Medical Corps, I was posted to the Wynberg Military Hospital. During this time I was closely associated with the …

ΕΠΙΔΡΑΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΔΥΣΛΕΙΤΟΥΡΓΙΑΣ ΤΟΥ ΠΡΟΣΤΑΤΗ ΚΑΙ ΤΩΝ ΣΠΕΡΜΑΤΟΔΟΧΩΝ ΚΥΣΤΕΩΝ ΣΤΟ ΣΠΕΡΜΑ ΚΑΙ ΣΤΟ HUHNER TEST
… TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECT OF PROSTATC AND SEMINAL VESICLES DYSFUNCTION ON THE LIQUEFACTION AND VISCOSITY OF FRESHLY EJACULATED SEMEN AND THE MOTILITY AND VIABILITY OF SPERMATOZOA IN 319 MEN OF INFERTILE COUPLES. THE QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE MOTILITY AND VIABILITY OF SPERMATOZOA WERE …

Insight Into the Metabolism of Lycopene: Focus on Androgen -Dependent Tissues
… that lyc metabolites accumulate in the prostate, seminal vesicles and adrenal gland compared to the other analyzed tissues. Moreover, modulated carotenoid cleavage enzyme(s) expression in the adrenal, prostate and kidney suggested that the accumulated lyc metabolites in these tissues be involved …

Characterization of RYamide neuropeptides and their Receptor in the Disease Vector Mosquito, Aedes aegypti
… ileum, rectal papillae, and surprisingly the seminal vesicles. RYamide and its receptor transcript analysis revealed potential regulatory effects of the digestive, reproductive, and excretory systems, along with a neuromodulatory role within the central nervous system. Further research is …

Autophagy maintains the homeostatic environment in the male reproductive organs playing a key role in fertility
… phase of sperm maturation in the epididymis and seminal fluid production from the accessory sex organs remains unknown. Using a doxycycline-inducible short hairpin (shRNA) mouse model (called ATG5i) targeting Atg5, we created a mouse model that demonstrates ubiquitous inhibition of autophagy. …

The distribution of plasminogen activator in the male genital tract
… Kaulla and Shettles, 1953). Indeed, when human seminal fluid is ejaculated, it undergoes a process resembling the clotting and fibrinolysis of the blood, by coagulating then liquefying spontaneously. The coagulum is formed when a fibrinogenlike protein secreted by the seminal vesicles is acted …

Morphology of the Internal Reproductive System of the Male and Female European Corn Borer Ostrinia Nubilalis (Hubner)
… These expansions have been referred to as the seminal vesicles or upper vasa deferentia. In 88% of the 75 males, the ducts showed 2 expansions; the single expansion immediately followed by a second, smaller expansion, shaped somewhat like a tear-drop. A stable, distinguishing characteristic of …

Antimicrobial activity of human seminal plasma and seminal plasma proteins
Seminal plasma is semen without the spermatozoa. Human seminal plasma is a complex mixture of secretions from the sex accessory glands, mainly the seminal vesicles and the prostate. Seminal plasma has high protein content and it also contains ions, sugars and low molecular weight components. …

Localization of nerve growth factor-β in the stallion reproductive tract
… identified as the ovulation inducing factor in seminal plasma. NGF-β from seminal plasma deposited into the reproductive tract of the female camelid acts systemically to stimulate secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary, which in turn induces follicle maturation and …

Confocal Characterization of the Apical Testes and Ultrastructural Analysis of the Seminal Visicles of Drosophila pseudoobscura
… we have characterized the ultrastructure of the seminal vesicles of D. pseudoobscura and have attempted to interpret the processes that occur in the storage and post-spermatogenesis maturation of Drosophila sperm cells.</p>

The Effects of Miticides on the Reproductive Physiology of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.) Queens and Drones
… by counting the number of sperm in the seminal vesicles. Sperm for viability assays was analyzed by dual fluorescent staining. Apilife VAR and coumaphos significantly lowered (P<0.0001) sperm production and coumaphos treatments caused a significant decrease (P<0.0001) in the sperm …

Development of Fully Balanced Ssfp and Computer Vision Applications For Mri-Assisted Radiosurgery (Mars)
… to automatically contour the prostate, rectum, seminal vesicles, external urinary sphincter, and bladder in post-implant MRIs. These developments would mitigate the uncertainties with the use of MRI in the post-implant setting, reduce the barriers for the utilization of MRI in post-implant …

A Forward Genetic Screen Revealed the Role of POLDIP2 in Ensuring Maternal Inheritance of Mitochondrial DNA in Drosophila melanogaster
… This work involved dissecting and staining seminal vesicles with an antibody targeting dsDNA to quantify mtDNA levels in mature sperm. Through the screen, I identified 63 lines that retained mtDNA in their mature sperm. 24 of these lines in addition to 13 lines previously identified by other …

The relation of certain pelleted feeds to bovine hyperkeratosis
… were present in the kidney, liver, epididymis, seminal vesicles and parotid gland. This indicated that the toxic agent in Lot II lubricant was highly chlorinated naphthalenes. It was demonstrated that a lubricant passed from the pellet mill rolls into pellets during the pelleting process, and …

Dietary interventions for reduction of prostate carcinogenesis in rodent models
… was significantly lower in the testes, seminal vesicles and ventral prostate of rats that consumed TP+SG compared to TP alone (p<0.05). Reduced carotenoid bioaccumulation was not explained by mRNA expression of scavenger receptor class B type I (a protein involved in carotenoid …

Dietary tomato carotenoids and β-carotene-15,15'- dioxygenase (Bco1) genotype alter androgen metabolism, lipid metabolism, and prostate cancer progression in mice
… reduced weights of the prostate and seminal vesicles. This reduction in serum testosterone may have been driven by significant reductions in the expression of a testicular steroidogenic gene (Hsd17b3) and/or Leydig cell populations. Concomitantly, we observed reductions in markers of …
