Therefore, it is interesting to study the relationship between ovarian sympathetic innervation and GnRH to shed light on possible physiological and pathophysiological implications. This work aimed to investigate whether noradrenergic stimulation of the superior mesenteric ganglion (SMG) can modify the levels of ovarian GnRH and cause functional and morphological changes in the gonad through the ovarian plexus nerve (OPN), during estrus and diestrus II in rats. The SMG-OPN-Ovary system and an ovary without extrinsic innervation were removed from Holtzman rats in estrus and diestrus II stages and placed in specially designed cuvettes containing Krebs-Ringer buffer. In the experimental groups, SMGs and denervated ovaries were stimulated with 10<sup>-6</sup> M noradrenaline (NA). GnRH and progesterone levels (in the ovarian incubation medium) and the mRNA expression of 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (<i>Hsd3b3</i>), 20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (<i>Akr1c18</i>), <i>Bax</i>, and <i>Bcl2</i> were analyzed. Histological studies of the ovaries were performed. In estrus, NA decreased GnRH levels in both experimental schemes. Furthermore, progesterone levels increased while the <i>Akr1c18</i> expression and <i>Bax/Bcl2</i> ratio decreased, without causing changes in ovarian morphology. In diestrus, the noradrenergic stimulation of the ganglion increased GnRH levels, decreased progesterone levels, and increased <i>Akr1c18</i> expression and <i>Bax/Bcl2</i> ratio. Follicles with histoarchitecture alterations and corpus luteum with signs of cell death were observed. In denervated ovaries, NA increased the levels of GnRH and progesterone. Furthermore, NA decreased the <i>Bax/Bcl2</i> ratio and histological studies revealed signs compatible with a possible atretogenic effect. In conclusion, noradrenergic stimulation of the SMG-OPN pathway regulates ovarian cyclicity.

A previously reported computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) plugin for Image-J was used to detect and analyze the motion of human sperm cells in microfluidic environments. The fabricated microchannels mimic the female reproductive tracts and use an image-processing program to monitor sperm swimming behavior in semen samples from fertile and infertile men. We have constructed an image-processing pipeline. The image-processing pipeline incorporated strengthens object detection and particle tracking to adapt to sperm that are out of focus while swimming on the same track.
