Furthermore, we also found that OCTN2 overexpression dramatically increased the levels of biomarkers associated with spermatogenesis, including azoospermia-like (DAZL), phosphoglycerate kinase 2 (PGK2), and protamine 2 (PRM2).
TEX101 median values were estimated in healthy, fertile pre-vasectomy men (5436 ng/mL, N = 64) and in patients with unexplained infertility (4967 ng/mL, N = 277), oligospermia (450 ng/mL, N = 270), and azoospermia (0.5 ng/mL, N = 137).

To determine if RAD21L defects are associated with azoospermia in groups of patients with meiotic arrest, we performed direct sequencing of the RAD21L coding regions in 38 Japanese patients with meiotic arrest and in 200 normal controls.
The present study suggested that injection of MSCs into chemotherapeutic-induced azoospermia in mice improved testicular failure; histologically and functionally, by restoration of spermatogenic gene expression while HSC and mono-cell layer showed no effect on spermatogenesis added to that mono-cell layer may induce testicular tissue damage.
There was significant increase in the optical density of PCNA immune reaction in MSCs group than azoospermia, HSCs, and mono-cell layer, while there was non-significant difference between MSCs and control group.
Seminal CAT activity was significantly different (p<0.0001) between infertile males and controls, it was also markedly decreased in oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia (p<0.0001), azoospermia (p<0.0001), and normozoospermia (p=0.045) subgroups compared to controls.
Mutational analysis of 81 patients with azoospermia and Sertoli cell-only syndrome (SCOS) identified one man with a heterozygous 13-bp deletion in the Ser/Thr kinase domain of PLK4.
Clinically, the SNPs (rs11204546 of OR2W3 and rs11677854 of GTF2A1L ) might be additional valuable molecular predictive markers for assessing the treatment of NOA patients.
The polymorphic distributions of the four SNPs (MTHFR C677T and A1298C, MTR A2756G and MTRRA66G) were investigated by the method of SNaPshot in a Chinese cohort including 296 idiopathic infertile males with azoospermia or oligozoospermia and 204 fertile males.
Therefore, we evaluated sperm production through analyses of germ cell-specific transcripts (DAZ, TSPY1, SPTRX3 and SPTRX1) in semen and testicular biopsies of men with azoospermia.
