  2. 1. Antimicrobial activity of human seminal plasma and seminal plasma proteins

    Author : Anneli Edström; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; semenogelin; antibacterial peptides; antifungal peptides; seminal plasma; antimicrobial peptides; vaginal pH; beta-microseminoprotein; peptides;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  4. 2. Seminal Influence on the Oviduct : Mating and/or semen components induce gene expression changes in the pre-ovulatory functional sperm reservoir in poultry and pigs

    Author : Mohammad Atikuzzaman; Heriberto Rodriguez-Martinez; Dominic Wright; Karl-Eric Magnusson; Maria Jenmalm; Matthias Laska; Patrice Humblot; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Seminal plasma; proteome peptidome; oviduct; gene expression; chicken; pig;

    Abstract : Internal fertilization occurs in birds and eutherian mammals. Foetal development, however, is either extra- respectively intra-corpore (egg vs uterus). READ MORE

  5. 3. Structure and organization of genes for the predominant seminal plasma proteins semenogelin I, semenogelin II and beta-microseminoprotein

    Author : Magnus Ulvsbäck; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical chemistry; transglutaminase substrate; semen coagulation; prostate; seminal vesicles; seminal plasma; rhesus monkey; human; evolution; nucleic acid sequence; cDNA; gene; semenogelin; b-microseminoprotein; Klinisk kemi; Proteins; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi;

    Abstract : In man, the predominant proteins in the seminal plasma include semenogelin I, semenogelin II and b-microseminoprotein (MSP). Semenogelin I and II are both synthesized in the seminal vesicles and are the backbone of the gel formed upon semen coagulation. MSP is synthesized in the prostate, but its role has not yet been defined. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Kallikrein-Related Peptidases hK2 and PSA with Emphasis on Genetic Variation, Secretion, and Sperm Motility

    Author : Charlotta Sävblom; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; human glandular kallikrein 2; KLK3; hk2; prostate-specific antigen; PSA; sperm motility; seminal plasma; androgen receptor; SNP; CAG; KLK2;

    Abstract : Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) are secreted by the prostate into seminal plasma and through leakage into blood. This leakage increases rapidly in prostate disease, and PSA is used worldwide as a marker of prostate cancer. READ MORE

  7. 5. Formation,Storage and Secretion of Prostasomes in Benign and Malignant Cells and Their Immunogenicity in Prostate Cancer Patients

    Author : Göran Sahlén; Gunnar Ronquist; Ove Nilsson; Bo Johan Norlén; Anders Bjartell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Surgery; Prostasomes; prostate cancer; antibodies; origin; seminal vesicles; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : Prostasomes are submicron-sized, membrane-bound organelles produced by the epithelial cells of the prostate and normally found in the secretion in the gland ducts. Their physiological role is in the promotion of sperm-function in human reproduction. READ MORE
