Seasonal reproduction and gonadal function: a focus on humans starting from animal studies

Ester Beltran-Frutos et al.

Summary: The photoperiod plays a significant role in mammalian reproduction, impacting hormonal levels and gonadal function in seasonally breeding animals. However, its effects on human reproduction remain unclear, with seasonal fluctuations in sex hormones not necessarily implying adaptative patterns in human gonads. Studies on the photoperiod-dependent regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis provide insights into the evolutionary mechanisms behind reproductive functions in vertebrates.

Melatonin affects red deer spermatozoa motility and physiology in capacitating and non-capacitating conditions

Estela Fernandez-Alegre et al.

Summary: Melatonin affects sperm physiology through membrane receptors, mainly protecting sperm from apoptosis and maintaining acrosomal integrity. Intracellular calcium was not affected, differing from other studies. This study supports the relevance of melatonin on sperm physiology and could contribute to the application of reproductive technologies in wild ruminants.

Melatonin improves the motility and DNA integrity of frozen-thawed ram spermatozoa likely via suppression of mitochondrial superoxide production

K. R. Pool et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that melatonin does not protect the quality of cryopreserved spermatozoa through indiscriminate scavenging of reactive oxygen species, but specifically reduces mitochondrial superoxide production, altering sperm functionality.

Circadian Rhythm Dysregulation and Restoration: The Role of Melatonin

Clayton Vasey et al.

Summary: Melatonin plays a crucial role in regulating sleep and circadian rhythms, with dysregulation potentially leading to various disorders. However, there is still a lack of extensive clinical research on the therapeutic use of melatonin in the past 5 years.

Seminal Plasma: Relevant for Fertility?

Heriberto Rodriguez-Martinez et al.

Summary: Seminal plasma, a non-cellular component of semen, plays a crucial role in sperm function and interactions with the female reproductive tract. It participates in diverse pre-fertilization events and triggers gene function changes to prepare for successful pregnancy. Despite the fertility of SP-free spermatozoa, its components have diagnostic biomarker potential and can be used as additives to improve reproductive strategies in livestock and humans.
