Effect of Timing of Postovulatory Insemination Relative to Human Chorionic Gonadotropin/Buserelin Treatment With 1 Straw of Frozen-Thawed Semen on Mare Fertility.

Journal of equine veterinary science
The reproductive management of mares for frozen semen artificial insemination (AI) can be costly and labor intensive. Predicting the exact time of ovulation can be challenging even when ovulation-inducing drugs are used. The main objective of this re...

Postthaw Addition of Autologous Seminal Plasma Improves Sperm Motion Characteristics in Fair and Poor Freezer Stallions.

Journal of equine veterinary science
During semen processing for cryopreservation, most seminal plasma is usually removed, and components with protective effects on sperm may be missing after thawing and within the female reproductive tract. The present study evaluated the effect of pos...

Improvement in Semen Conservation of the Indigenous Czech Endangered Old Kladruber Horse: Special Focus on the Type of Extender and Packaging System.

Journal of equine veterinary science
The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of two freezing extenders and two packaging systems on motility, plasma membrane (PM) integrity, and the apoptotic status of frozen-thawed (F-T) spermatozoa of the endangered Old Kladruber stallions....

Cooling and Cryopreservation of Equine Platelet-Rich Plasma With Dimethyl Sulfoxide and Trehalose.

Journal of equine veterinary science
Equine platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used in horses to repair bone, articular and tendinous lesions, laminitis, and even endometritis. However, platelets have a very limited lifespan, which makes it difficult to prepare and use PRP, except in l...

Effect of Using Two Cryopreservation Methods on Viability and Fertility of Frozen Stallion Sperm.

Journal of equine veterinary science
Studies involving different methods and techniques of cryopreservation and its interactions with the conception rates in artificial insemination (AI) programs are reported in the literature. This study evaluated the sperm kinetics, plasma membrane in...

Experience With Hypothermic Machine Perfusion in Expanded Criteria Donors: Functional Outcomes.

Transplantation proceedings
UNLABELLED: Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) decreases delayed graft function (DGF) and improves 1-year graft survival in expanded criteria donors (ECDs). Time of HMP could be associated with incidence of DGF.

The application of convolution neural network based cell segmentation during cryopreservation.

Cryobiology
For most of the cells, water permeability and plasma membrane properties play a vital role in the optimal protocol for successful cryopreservation. Measuring the water permeability of cells during subzero temperature is essential. So far, there is no...

Convolutional neural networks for automated annotation of cellular cryo-electron tomograms.

Nature methods
Cellular electron cryotomography offers researchers the ability to observe macromolecules frozen in action in situ, but a primary challenge with this technique is identifying molecular components within the crowded cellular environment. We introduce ...

Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation of young post-pubertal dairy bulls alters the fatty acid composition of seminal plasma and spermatozoa but has no effect on semen volume or sperm quality.

Theriogenology
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of dietary supplementation with rumen protected n-6 or n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on the quantity and quality of semen from young post-pubertal dairy bulls. Pubertal Holstein-Friesian (n = ...

Sperm quality and its freezing ability throughout the spawning season in Prochilodus lineatus and Brycon orbignyanus.

Theriogenology
The aim of this study was to determine fresh and frozen sperm quality evaluated over two spawning seasons (2013-2014; 2014-2015) in Prochilodus lineatus and Brycon orbignyanus. The spawning seasons were divided into two sampling periods: November to ...
