How can you use “epididymal” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The finding that SPAM1 with enzymatic activity is expressed in the epididymides of three species (mice, humans and macaques) in two classes of mammals indicates that epididymal SPAM1 is functionally important.
Additionally, Zhang and Martin-DeLeon (2001) found evidence that mouse epididymal Spam1 is secreted in vivo and in vitro and that the gene is differentially regulated in testis and epididymis.
It should also be noted that a study of the glycosylation and 2D-gel patterns of Spam1 from the epididymis and testis of mice indicates that epididymal Spam1 may be a unique isoform rather than a redundant protein [ 33 ] . Such a unique isoform may play a specific role in sperm maturation in humans where SPAM1 is the only reproductive hyaluronidase in the cluster on 7q31.
Currently studies are underway to determine the function of epididymal Spam1 in the mouse.
The total areas of epididymal cells that were microdissected ranged from approximately 350,000 to 450,000 μm 2. The samples in mineral oil were kept at -80°C until RNA extraction was performed.
