Declined expressing mRNA of beta-defensin 108 from epididymis is associated with decreased sperm motility in blue fox (Vulpes lagopus)
Abstract Background Fecundity is important for farm blue fox ( Vulpes lagopus ), who with asthenospermia have be a problem in some of farms in China. A key symptom of asthenospermia is decreased sperm motility. The decreased secreting beta-defensin108 ( vBD108 ) of blue fox is speculated be related...

The expression of vBD108 mRNA in testes ( P < 0.05) and epididymal corpus ( P < 0.0001) in asthenospermia group was lower than that in healthy group.
