Artificial insemination (AI) with frozen or cooled-stored semen plays a key role in the widespread distribution of germplasm of elite livestock resources and the protection of endangered species. Cryopreservation provides long-term preservation of sp...
BACKGROUND: Superoxide dismutase (SOD) as an antioxidant in semen extender may be used for the cryopreservation of buffalo spermatozoa and in vivo fertility.
BACKGROUND: Alpha-tocopheryl succinate, a major chain-splitting antioxidant, is the most effective form of vitamin E and may be used in the semen extender for cryopreservation of buffalo spermatozoa.
BACKGROUND: The dissolved oxygen in the extender may act as a source for the production of reactive oxygen species that may lead to reduced seminal antioxidant profile which in turn may be responsible for impaired frozen thawed sperm quality and fert...
BACKGROUND: The membrane and acrosomal integrity of sperm play a vital role in fertilization process; however they are compromised upon cryopreservation.
This study investigated the factors affecting the semen traits of boars in Southern China. A total of 172,408 ejaculates of boars from 9 AI centers were collected from January 2013 to May 2016. A linear growth model was used to analyze the effects of...
The ability to accurately monitor alterations in sperm motility is paramount to understanding multiple genetic and biochemical perturbations impacting normal fertilization. Computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA) of human sperm typically reports motile ...
UNLABELLED: OBJECTIVE: To identify which sperm characteristics were able to predict more accurately the quality of curimba (Prochilodus lineatus) semen upon freezing using canonical correlation analysis.
