Reproductive disorders related to male reproductive tract are of public health interest. Many reproductive problems in adult men have unknown etiology and part of them is due to the influence of environmental factors affecting the morphogenesis and the masculinization of the male reproductive tract. In adults, the epididymis is an essential organ for sperm maturation and production of via…
The Wolffian duct is the embryonic precursor of the epididymis, which is an organ of great importance for male fertility. In utero morphological differentiation of this duct depends on androgen action and abnormalities during this period can result in infertility on adulthood. Androgens are the primary factors regulating epididymal function, but the mechanisms underlying androgen action i…
In the last years, our research group has identified different beta-defensins, key components of innate immunity, with a distinct expression pattern in the rat Wolffian duct (WD), the embryonic precursor of epididymis. We showed that the beta-defensin SPAG11C (sperm associated antigen 11 C) is an androgen-regulated mesenchymal factor with a role in epididymal morphogenesis. The research p…
