Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) influences spermatogenesis, but its impact on seasonally regulated sperm production is still not fully understood. Thus, we investigated both expression levels and localisation of VEGFA and its receptors V

Summary The percentages of somatic and spermatogenic cells were quantified at different time intervals in testes of three seasonal breeders: roe deer, brown hare and mink. The haploid, diploid and tetraploid cells were monitored by one-parameter flow

The roe deer shows a distinct seasonal breeding pattern accompanied with significant changes in testicular structure and function during the annual cycle. It serves as a uniquely well-characterized ruminant model system to investigate the regulation

Teratospermia (>60% morphologically abnormal sperm/ejaculate) is associated with increased sperm output in the domestic cat. The objective of this study was to determine whether increased sperm production in teratospermic donors was associated with d

To increase the quality of cryopreserved sperm in white rhinoceros, the liquid nitrogen vapour (LN vapour) freezing and the multi-thermal gradient directional freezing methods were compared. Sixteen white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum sp.) were ele

Adult male domestic cats are known to produce sperm throughout the year, although sexual activity is influenced by geographical location. In the northern hemisphere, feral domestic cats reproduce usually between January and July. Thus, seasonality in

Apoptosis is involved in the regulation of spermatogenesis. The involution of testes in seasonal breeders might be expected to involve enhanced apoptotic cell elimination. We have compared seasonally changing testicular apoptosis in roe deer with tha

Summary In mature male seasonal breeders, the circannual cycles of testicular growth and involution involve significant changes in structure and function of both the tubular and interstitial testicular compartment. Roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) are

The exact seasonal timing of normal testis function is a crucial precondition for the reproductive fitness of roe bucks and for successful breeding during rut in July–August. Production of spermatozoa and testosterone requires both endocrine regula

White rhinoceroses suffer from a low rate of reproduction in captivity. This study examines the role of male reproductive function as a contributing factor. We used ultrasonography to image accessory sex glands, testis and epididymis. Electroejaculat
