orchitis/arginine

Intratesticular injection of EsterilSol (zinc gluconate neutralized with arginine) is a chemical sterilant for male dogs sometimes used in population control campaigns. Adverse reactions have been reported in 1% to 4% of treated dogs, but detailed histomorphologic descriptions are lacking. During a

Microcystin-leucine arginine (MC-LR) causes testicular inflammation and hinders spermatogenesis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the immune responses to MC-LR in the testis have not been elucidated in detail. In this study, we show that MC-LR induced immune responses in Sertoli cells

BACKGROUND Male reproductive tract infection and inflammation are important aetiological factors of infertility. Experimental Autoimmune Orchitis (EAO) is a model of chronic inflammation useful to study mechanisms of inflammatory reactions leading to testicular impairment. EAO is characterised by

Mumps virus (MuV), an enveloped negative strand RNA virus belonging to the family Paramyxoviridae, enters the host cell through membrane fusion mediated by two viral envelope proteins, an attachment protein hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (MuV-HN) and a fusion (F) protein. However, how the
