Abstract
The present study was performed to obtain evidence of the radioprotective function of melatonin at different administration levels on carbon ion-induced mouse testicular damage. Outbred Kun-Ming strain mice were divided into six groups, each composed of eight animals: control group, melatonin alone group, irradiation group and three melatonin plus irradiation-treated groups. An acute study was carried out to determine alterations in DNA-single strand break, cell apoptosis, and oxidative stress parameters as well as histopathology in mouse testis 24 h after whole-body irradiation with a single dose of 4 Gy. The results showed that pre-treatment and post-treatment with high-dose melatonin (10 mg/kg) both significantly alleviated carbon ion-induced acute testicular damage, a greater radioprotective effect being observed in the pre-treatment group. On the other hand, low-dose melatonin (1 mg/kg) had a limited radioprotective effect on irradiation-induced degeneration and DNA lesions in mouse testis. Taken together, the data suggest that prophylactic treatment with a higher dose of melatonin is probably advisable to protect against the effects of heavy-ion irradiation.

Abstract
The alkaline phosphatase activity was measured in testicular fluid and in epididymal plasma from caput and cauda epididymidis in boars with normal sperm production and in boars in which the number of spermatozoa passing from the testis to the epididymidis was reduced. The testicular fluid and the epididymal plasma from caput epididymidis contained low amounts of alkaline phosphatase in comparison with epididymal plasma from the cauda. This applies to both groups of boars e.g. boars with normal as well as with totally lacking or lowered sperm production. As no fluid resorption takes place between caput and cauda the distal part of the epididymidis must be the main production site for alkaline phosphatase. The production there is not related to the presence of spermatozoa in the duct. In the caput, on the other hand, it seems that the level of alkaline phosphatase in some way is influenced by the sperm supply to the duct.

Abstract
This study compared the effects of di(n-butyl) phthalate (DBP) on the oxidative damage and antioxidant enzymes activity in testes of hyperthyroid rats. Hyperthyroidism was induced in pubertal male rats by intraperitoneal injection of triiodothyronine (T3, 10 microg/kg body weight) for 30 days. An oral dose of DBP (750 mg/kg) was administered simultaneously to normal or hyperthyroid (T3) rats over a 30-day period. No changes in body weight were observed in the hyperthyroid groups (T3, T3 + DBP) compared with controls. There were significantly higher serum T3 levels observed in the hyperthyroid rats than in the control, but the serum thyroid stimulating hormone levels were markedly lower in the hyperthyroid rats. DBP significantly decreased the weight of the testes in the normal (DBP) and hyperthyroid (T3 + DBP) groups. The serum testosterone concentrations were significantly lower in only DBP group. DBP significantly increased the 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) level in the testes, whereas the DBP-induced 8-OHdG levels were slightly higher in T3 + DBP group. Superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities were significantly higher in the testes of the DBP or T3 + DBP groups. Catalase (CAT) activity was significantly higher in the DBP treatment group, but the T3 + DBP group showed slightly lower DBP-induced CAT activity. The testicular expression of thyroid hormone receptor alpha-1 (TRalpha-1) was significantly higher in the DBP groups, and androgen receptor (AR) expression was not detected in the DBP treatment group. In addition, DBP significantly increased the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-r (PPAR-r) levels in the testis. These results suggest that hyperthyroidism can cause a change in the expression level of PPAR-r in testes, and may increase the levels of oxidative damage induced by the metabolic activation of DBP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Germ cell elimination and sperm DNA fragmentation in men with primary testiculopathies involve apoptosis-related processes whose mechanisms are poorly understood. This study examines the participation of typical (caspase-dependent) and atypical (caspase-independent) pathways in these processes. METHODS Caspase activity and DNA fragmentation were evaluated in Sertoli and germ cells from 63 men with non-obstructive azoospermia and with different histological diagnoses who were undergoing testicular biopsy for an assisted reproduction attempt. In eight of these men, phosphatidylserine externalization was also examined. RESULTS The percentage of Sertoli cells showing caspase activity and DNA fragmentation was low and uniform in all diagnoses. In germ cells that remained tightly associated with Sertoli cells despite vigorous mechanical treatment, the incidence of both caspase activity and DNA fragmentation was high, particularly in men with maturation arrest. In Sertoli cell-free germ cells, high incidence of DNA fragmentation contrasted with low incidence of caspase activity and phosphatidylserine externalization. CONCLUSIONS In men with primary testicular failure, apoptosis of Sertoli cells is insignificant. Some germ cells undergo caspase-dependent apoptosis, show phosphatidylserine externalization and are tightly associated with Sertoli cells. Other germ cells show caspase-independent DNA fragmentation, do not externalize phosphatidylserine and lack a tight association with Sertoli cells.

Abstract
Differentiating male germ cells express a testis-specific form of cytochrome c (Cyt c(T)) that is distinct from the cytochrome c expressed in somatic cells (Cyt c(S)). To examine the role of Cyt c(T) in germ cells, we generated mice null for Cyt c(T). Homozygous Cyt c(T)(-/-) pups were statistically underrepresented (21%) but developed normally and were fertile. However, spermatozoa isolated from the cauda epididymis of Cyt c(T)-null animals were less effective in fertilizing oocytes in vitro and contain reduced levels of ATP compared to wild-type sperm. Sperm from Cyt c(T)-null mice contained a greater number of immotile spermatozoa than did samples from control mice, i.e., 53.1% +/- 13.7% versus 33.2% +/- 10.3% (P < 0.0001) for vas deferens sperm and 40.1% +/- 9.6% versus 33.2% +/- 7.5% (P = 0.0104) for epididymal sperm. Cyt c(T)-null mice often exhibit early atrophy of the testes after 4 months of age, losing germ cells as a result of increased apoptosis. However, no difference in the activation of caspase-3, -8, or -9 was detected between the Cyt c(T)(-/-) testes and controls. Our data indicate that the Cyt c(T)-null testes undergo early atrophy equivalent to that which occurs during aging as a consequence of a reduction in oxidative phosphorylation.

Abstract
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is an organic solvent used in dry cleaning, metal degreasing, thinner for paints and varnishes, anesthetic agent, and so forth. Human beings are appreciably exposed to TCE vapours by inhalation route. The present study has been undertaken to investigate whether TCE inhalation may also bring about testicular toxic effects. Our results indicate that inhalation of TCE by male rats for 12 and 24 weeks brings about significant reduction in absolute testicular weight, and alters marker testicular enzymes activity associated with spermatogenesis and germ cell maturation, along with marked histopathological changes showing depletion of germs cells and spermatogenic arrest.

Abstract
The 84-kDa hormone-sensitive lipase (gene designation Lipe; EC 3.1.1.3) is a cholesterol esterase and triglyceride hydrolase that functions in the release of fatty acids from adipocytes. The role of hormone-sensitive lipase in other tissues such as the testis, where a specific 120-kDa testis-specific isoform is expressed, is unknown. To study this, we examined the fertility and testicular histology of gene-targeted hormone-sensitive lipase-deficient mice. Homozygous hormone-sensitive lipase-deficient male mice are infertile and have decreased testis weights; female homozygotes are fertile. Testicular abnormalities, detected at the light and electron microscopic levels, included the presence of multinucleated round and elongating spermatids, vacuolization of the seminiferous epithelium, asynchronization of the spermatogenic cycle, sloughing of postmeiotic germ cells from the seminiferous epithelium into the lumen, and a marked reduction in the numbers of late spermatids. Extensive nuclear head deformation was noted in late spermatids as well as the sharing of a common acrosome in multinucleated cells. In some multinucleated cells, nuclei were separated from their acrosomes, with the acrosomes remaining attached to areas of ectoplasmic specializations, suggesting defects in intercellular cytoplasmic bridge integrity. Although the lumen of the epididymis was essentially devoid of spermatozoa and filled instead with spherical degenerating cells, the epididymal epithelial cells appeared normal. The few late spermatids present in the epididymis were abnormal. There was no morphological evidence, as judged by the absence of lipid droplets of triacylglycerol or cholesteryl ester accumulation in the testis. Together, the data suggest that hormone-sensitive lipase deficiency results in abnormalities in spermiogenesis that are incompatible with normal fertility. We speculate that a metabolite downstream from the hormone-sensitive lipase reaction may be essential for membrane stabilization and integrity in the seminiferous epithelium and, in particular, may play an important role in the maintenance of intercellular cytoplasmic bridges between postmeiotic germ cells.

Abstract
The role of a telomerase assay in the recognition of Sertoli cell-only syndrome with testicular foci of haploid cells was evaluated. Men with Sertoli cell-only syndrome (n = 23) were given a new diagnostic testicular biopsy. Part of the biopsy was stained and the remainder was processed for the quantitative telomerase assay. After 3-13 months, a therapeutic testicular biopsy was performed. This material was minced and then examined using confocal laser scanning microscopy and fluorescent in-situ hybridization. Histology of diagnostic testicular biopsy material confirmed the diagnosis of Sertoli cell-only syndrome in all the participants. All seven men with a telomerase assay value in their diagnostic testicular biopsy of >42 total product generated (TPG) U/microg protein had haploid cells (i.e. spermatozoa and/or spermatids) in their therapeutic testicular biopsy. Among participants with telomerase assay values <42 TPG U/microg protein, only one man had haploid cells in his therapeutic testicular biopsy. Thus, telomerase assay values >42 TPG U/microg protein in the diagnostic biopsy identified 87.5% of the Sertoli cell-only syndrome men with haploid cells in their therapeutic testicular biopsy. Significantly higher values of the telomerase assay were found in men with testicular foci of haploid cells than in men without these foci. The use of a quantitative telomerase assay biopsy appears to be important for identifying those men with Sertoli cell-only syndrome who have foci of haploid cells and can be candidates for assisted reproduction techniques.

Abstract
Low alpha-glucosidase activity in seminal plasma is a marker of epididymal obstruction. The criterion standard for determining activity is the epididymal specific method, whereby the neutral iso-enzyme, specifically produced by the epididymis, is measured. A kit that determines total alpha-glucosidase activity (neutral iso-enzyme and the acid iso-enzyme originating from the prostate) has become available. The objective of the laboratory-based study was to compare alpha-glucosidase activity values measured by both the EpiScreen and the epididymal specific method, to determine if the kit may provide reliable results to substitute the neutral iso-enzyme specific method in the routine clinical setting. The neutral iso-enzyme activity according to both methods was measured in seminal plasma of 23 post-vasectomy and 24 normozoospermic patients. Significant differences (P < 0.05) were found between the activities measured according to both methods, but these differences pertained mostly to high values (> 40 mU ejaculate-1), which was not clinically significant. In conclusion, the epididymal specific method is best suited for research purposes, but the EpiScreen kit is convenient for routine use in infertility clinics.

Abstract
Expression of carbamoylphosphate synthetase I (CPSI; EC 6.3.4.16) was examined immunohistochemically in normal development of the mouse liver, and in testicular transplants of fetal liver fragments. CPSI started to be expressed in all hepatocytes around 15 days of gestation, and became heterogeneous (i.e. absent from pericentral hepatocytes) around 2 weeks after birth. Most hepatocytes in fetal liver fragments placed for 2 months under the testicular capsule expressed this enzyme except for the pericentral ones, most of which were positively stained with anti-glutamine synthetase (GS; EC 6.3.1.2) antiserum. This distribution resembled that in the adult liver. The steep change in CPSI immunostaining in liver lobules suggests that the microenvironment tightly connected to the central veins plays an important role in the suppression of CPSI expression in the pericentral hepatocytes. Some pericentral hepatocytes were also negative for both enzymes. Thus, control mechanisms of CPSI expression may be different from those of GS expression in pericentral hepatocytes.

Abstract
Neutral alpha-glucosidase activity was measured in seminal plasma of 30 patients consulting for infertility with a variety of disorders, and compared with 25 normal controls. Significantly more of the study populations (asthenozoospermia, 4/6; oligozoospermia, 3/5; azoospermia 8/15) had a neutral alpha-glucosidase activity less than 10 mIU/mL as compared with control samples (3/25). Also the mean (+/- SD) neutral alpha-glucosidase activity in patients with asthenozoospermia (11.7 +/- 9.2) oligozoospermia (11.3 +/- 7.2), and post vasectomy azoospermia (5.3 +/- 3.4) was significantly (p < .05) less than ejaculate from controls (21.2 +/- 14). A seminal alpha-glucosidase level of 10 mIU/mL appears to be a useful discriminatory marker in the diagnosis of epididymal obstruction or dysfunction.

Abstract
A single oral dose of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) to male rats caused histologically a sloughing of the germ cells at 6 h. On Days 1 and 2 more severe sloughing was seen, followed by atrophy and the dissociation of the germ cells from the Sertoli cells and the spermatogonia. Biochemically, there was elevation of gamma-glutamyl transferase, a decrease in sorbitol levels at 3 h and a decrease in the activity of aldose reductase at 6 h, in the testes of treated rats. This was followed by decreases in fructose levels and increases in the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and in lactate levels at 12 h, and decreases in the activities of sorbitol dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase on Day 2. LDH isoenzymes 4 and 5 increased at 6 h prior to the increase in lactate levels. Increases in the levels of inositol and the activities of alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase were also observed. Thus, these data suggest that DBP-induced testicular toxicity is caused by a shortage of energy fuels from glucose metabolism or by an anoxia.

Abstract
Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) was administered to young male rats by gavage at the doses of 250, 500 and 1,000 mg/kg body weight/day for 15 days. A significant decrease in testes weight was observed at 500 and 1,000 mg/kg doses of DBP. Histopathological examination revealed marked degeneration of seminiferous tubules. The activities of testicular enzymes associated with postmeiotic spermatogenic cells, such as sorbitol dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase, were decreased significantly, while that of lactate dehydrogenase was significantly increased, coincident with degeneration of spermatogenic cells. The activities of enzymes associated with premeiotic spermatogenic cells, Sertoli cells or interstitial cells, beta-glucuronidase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were significantly increased. Thus the alterations in activity of these testicular cell specific enzymes suggest that DBP exposure during early life could affect the testicular functions.

Abstract
With the aim of gaining knowledge about the lysosomal apparatus of the rat epididymis, four acid hydrolases were analysed in homogenates of the whole organ and, in other experiments, in separated segments: proximal and distal caput, corpus and cauda. The activities were similar to those in the liver, and they were 50% recovered in a cytosol of 43 000 g x 60 min. Ten days after castration all segments showed similar changes, the activities of beta-glucuronidase and cathepsin D increased above normal levels while those of DNAase and acid phosphatase were found slightly decreased. After vasectomy region I (caput and corpus) showed decreased beta-glucuronidase activity and increased acid phosphatase activity. The activity of cathepsin D increased in both regions. In cryptorchid rats (90 days) the epididymis greatly decreased in weight, the activities of acid phosphatase and DNAase slightly decreased in region II (cauda) and in region I, respectively. In the abdominal epididymis (90 days) only region II decreased in weight. DNAase activity decreased in region I while cathepsin D did so in both regions. The results showed that a) the enzymes behave quite independently from each other, suggesting the existence of a specific regulation for each of them b) there were characteristic changes in enzymatic activity for each experimental condition.

Abstract
The distribution of Mg++-activated ATPase was determined with light and electron microscopy in normal and degenerating seminferous tubules. In the normal animals ATPase was localized in the interface between spermatids and Sertoli cells, in association with the cytoplasmic filaments contained within Sertoli cell processes, and in the lymphatic endothelium. ATPase activity increased in degenerating tubules as observed by light microscopy. Electron microscopic investigations of the degenerating tubules which contained only spermatogonia and Sertoli cells revealed reaction product on the outer surface of the Sertoli cell processes and within the interface between adjacent Sertoli cells. Reactaction product was also observed in the Sertoli cell processes between the cytoplasmic filaments and the cell membrane. Where filaments were absent in Sertoli cell processes, no reaction product was observed. These electron microscopic studies indicate that the increase in ATPase activity in testicular degeneration is probably a relative increase due to a loss of the germinal elements of the tubular epithelium and subsequent apposition of the Sertoli cell processes. We speculate that the ATPase activity localized within the Sertoli cell processes may be involved in providing an energy source for filament motility.
