microRNA signature is altered in both human epididymis and seminal microvesicles following vasectomy
28 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Does vasectomy impact microRNA (miRNA) expression in the epididymis and seminal microvesicles (SMVs) in a non-reversible manner? SUMMARY ANSWER: The miRNA signature in the epididymis and SMVs is altered by vasectomy and only partially restored after vasovasostomy surgery. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Vasectomy modifies the epididymal transcriptome and triggers non-reversible changes that affect sperm...
