  • Title: [Expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in the testes and epididymides of adult male rats].
    Author: Hou XN, Zhang HW, Li YF.
    Journal: Zhonghua Nan Ke Xue; 2005 Feb; 11(2):104-5, 111. PubMed ID: 15755027.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) in the testes and epididymides of adult male rats and its significance. METHODS: Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression and localization of cox-2 in the testicle and epididymal tissues of 40 adult male SD rats. RESULTS: Strong cox-2 immunoreactivity was detected in the epididymides and testes of the rats. In the caput epididymides, cox-2 expressed mainly in the epithelial nuclei and partly in the cytoplasm. Cox-2 was also found positive in the testis nuclei and cytoplasm. CONCLUSION: Immunohistochemical staining is a fairly sensitive method for detecting cox-2 expression in the testes and epididymides of adult male rats.
