Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor (PPAR)γ is expressed by human spermatozoa: Its potential role on the sperm physiology
13 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
The peroxisome proliferation-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is mainly expressed in the adipose tissue and integrates the control of energy, lipid, and glucose homeostasis. The present study, by means of RT-PCR, Western blot, and immunofluorescence techniques, demonstrates that human sperm express the PPARgamma. The functionality of the receptor was evidenced by 15-deoxy-12,14-prostaglandin J(2) (PGJ2) and...
