Overview

Fernando J. Peña is affiliated with the University of Extremadura in Spain. Their research spans multiple disciplines with a strong emphasis on medicine and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. The primary focus is on reproductive health, particularly within the subfields of reproductive medicine, public health, environmental and occupational health, molecular biology, agronomy and crop science, and physiology.

Their work covers a range of topics, notably:

  • Sperm and testicular function
  • Reproductive biology and fertility
  • Reproductive physiology in livestock
  • Veterinary equine medical research
  • Hormonal and reproductive studies
  • Biochemical effects in animals
  • Urologic and reproductive health conditions

Fernando J. Peña has contributed significantly to several research papers published predominantly between 2020 and 2021. Selected recent publications include:

  • "An integrated overview on the regulation of sperm metabolism (glycolysis-Krebs cycle-oxidative phosphorylation)" (2021) in Animal Reproduction Science
  • "Seminal Plasma: Relevant for Fertility?" (2021) in International Journal of Molecular Sciences
  • "Role of Antioxidants in Cooled Liquid Storage of Mammal Spermatozoa" (2021) in Antioxidants
  • "Proteomic profiling of stallion spermatozoa suggests changes in sperm metabolism and compromised redox regulation after cryopreservation" (2020) in Journal of Proteomics
  • "Mass spectrometry reveals distinct proteomic profiles in high- and low-quality stallion spermatozoa" (2020) in Reproduction

The scholar frequently publishes in venues that include:

  • Theriogenology
  • SSRN Electronic Journal
  • Reproduction
  • Journal of Equine Veterinary Science
  • Animal Reproduction Science

Collaborative research is an important element of their work. Frequent co-authors consist of:

  • Francisco E. Martín-Cano
  • Cristina Ortega-Ferrusola
  • Gemma Gaitskell-Phillips
  • M.C. Gil
  • Eva da Silva-Álvarez

Their research contributions predominantly engage with reproductive mechanisms, including sperm metabolism and fertility factors, with an interdisciplinary reach involving molecular and veterinary sciences. The publication record reflects ongoing investigation into both fundamental and applied aspects within these scientific domains.
