Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Several advances have been observed regarding knowledge about reproductive physiology. However, the challenges are still many, whether due to the need to improve biotechnologies of reproduction that serve survivors of gonadotoxic diseases, such as cancer, or due to the need to produce or preserve animal genetic resources, such as those of high zootechnic value or endangered animals. In any of these situations, we still have a long way to go.
The aim of this Special Issue entitled “Advances in Ovarian and Testicular Physiology” is to compile the main advances related to promising alternatives for maintaining or improving reproductive potential in male and female mammals.
Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to submit your latest findings from in vivo or in vitro experiments testing different synthetic or natural substances or supplements, physical exercise or diet protocols, and alimentary supplements, all considering their therapeutic potential to improve or potentialize ovarian or testicular cell survival and development, focusing on gonadal health.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: animal reproduction physiology.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page.
