Approach: The ejaculates from 2 trained poodle dogs were collected. Effect of prostatic fluid from the first and third fractions of ejaculates on cryosurvival of dog sperm was examined. SDS-PAGE … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,831 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMorpho-physiological Differences of the Spermatheca of Attini Ants (Hymenoptera: Myrmicinae)Gabriela Ortiz, Maria Izabel Camargo-MathiasThe insect's spermatheca store the spermatozoa from the time of copulation until the fertilization of the eggs and consists of a sac, usually associated to glands. The ant species Atta laevigata, Atta sexdens sexdens, Atta sexdens piriventris, Acromyrmex coronatus and Cyphomyrmex muelleri are considered pests, as they cause economics losses to several crops. The spermatheca of these species were examined … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,583 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleClinical Pregnancy After Assisted Hatching Rate in Young women undergoing Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm InjectionMohammed Al-SunaidiProblem statement: The ability of a blast cyst to hatch, or escape, from the Zona Pellucida (ZP) that surrounds and protects the embryo during its first few days of development is one of many critical events that must occur for successful reproduction. Implantation of the embryo in the uterine lining is impossible unless hatching occurs. Hard or thick ZP will … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 13 Mar 2012 · 7,043 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Temperature Change and Estradiol Levels on Cattle Oocytes Developmental Competency: Comparing X-Sexed and Non-Sexed Sperm Following in vitro FertilizationMaleke Dimpho Sebopela, Masindi Lottus Mphaphathi et al.The study aimed to investigate the effects of temperature change and estradiol (E2) hormone level on In Vitro Maturation (IVM) and fertilization of cattle oocytes using X-sexed and non-sexed sperm. In experiment 1: The oocytes were incubated at various temperatures of 35.5, 36.5, 37.5, 38.5, 39.5 and 40.5°C under similar conditions with 5% CO2, in humidified air for 22 h. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 16 Nov 2023 · 5,319 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Intracellular Reactive Oxygen Species in Several Spermatozoa Activity in Indonesian Ongole Bull Cryopreserved SpermKurniawan Dwi Prihantoko, Asmarani Kusumawati, Mulyoto Pangestu et al.Certain factors may affect sperm motility and integrity in a freezing process. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) is essential in damaging the sperm, as the previous study revealed that ROS is a major cause damaging the membrane of spermatozoa. This study aimed to understand ROS production and its interaction within the motility, mitochondrial activity and DNA damage to the cryopreservation process … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2022 · 6,842 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTestosterone Concentration, Libido and Spermatozoa Quality in Gembrong Goats after in vivo and in vitro PGF2α AdministrationHusnurrizal, Sri Wahyuni et al.The Gembrong goat population is currently in a critical state. The preliminary study results show that one of the factors causing the population decline is the low fertility of male goats characterized by low sperm quality. The improvement of the spermatozoa quality can be performed with the administration of PGF2α. This study aims to determine the difference in semen quality … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2024 · 5,541 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBiotic and Abiotic Factors of Sperm nDNA Fragmentation in Farm AnimalsBaylar Iolchiev, Natalya Volkova, Pavel Klenovitskiy et al.Infertility and subfertility are among the global challenges of our time. Fertility in livestock farming is not only biologically important, it is also economically important. The aim of this study was to study the effect of these factors on sperm chromatin nucleus and to assess the impact of the fragmentation index degree on bull reproductive performance.
