Vitamin D and vitamin receptor (VD/VDR) plays a vital role in the development of spermatozoa, which is largely determined by testosterone level serum. Testosterone biosynthesis closely related to lipid metabolism gonadal adipose around testes. VDR could regulate adipocytes as well. However, it still remains unknown how regulates impact testis. Hereby, various parameters male fertility were compared between wildtype (WT) Vdr knockout (Vdr-KO) mouse. For Vdr-KO mice, size testis was smaller...

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) has been identified as one of the predominant factors leading to persistent low back pain and disability in middle-aged elderly people. Dysregulation Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) can cause IDD, while low-dose celecoxib maintain PGE2 at physiological level activate skeletal interoception. Here, nano fibers have extensively used treatment novel polycaprolactone (PCL) loaded with were fabricated for IDD treatment. In vitro studies demonstrated that had ability...
