the presence of the leptin mRNA transcript in Holstein

cattle spermatozoa by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. Total RNA

was extracted from different concentrations of ejaculated or epididymal sperm cells and after...

of some species. Hence, laptin has a direct effect on reproduction. Aim of this study was to investigate the expression of leptin mRNA in ovine corpus luteum.

Methods: Ovine ovaries were collected from abattoir and immediately were transported...

on reproduction. Evidence, such as expression and secretion of leptin in human and pig spermatozoa, have pointed to a direct role of leptin in the physiologic functions of spermatozoa. The present study was the first to investigate the presence of the leptin mRNA...

on reproduction. The expression of functional leptin receptor

mRNA has been already recognized in testis of rodents, human and cattle. Thus, the aim of

the present study was to investigate the presence of leptin mRNA in the bovine testis...

The present study aimed to investigate the presence of leptin mRNA transcript in epididymal spermatozoa of Holstein cattle by RT-PCR analysis. To collect sperm from epididymis, the whole testes of three adult Holstein bulls were quickly removed...
