Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRelation of Serum and Semen Malondialdehyde and Total Anti-Oxidants with Sperm Parameters in Infertile MenFirozeh Akbari-Asbagh, Ebrahim Mostafavi, Kobra Hamdi et al.Problem statement: Oxidative Stress (OS) has been recognized as one of the most important cause of male infertility. We studied the relation of serum and Semen Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) with sperm parameters in infertile men with sperm count within the normal range. Approach: The prospective case- control study performed on infertile men presenting to the infertility … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2010 · 14,527 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenomic Regions and Candidate Genes Associated With Semen Traits in Rams: A Systematic GWAS Review With Implications for South African Sheep BreedsNhlakanipho Sam Zulu, Khoboso Christine LehloenyaRam fertility is a key determinant of reproductive efficiency in sheep production systems, particularly under extensive and semi-extensive conditions prevalent in South Africa. Semen quality traits, including ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, motility, and cryotolerance, exhibit measurable genetic variation and are increasingly investigated using genomic approaches. This systematic review synthesizes evidence from three eligible Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) analyses that have … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 26 Oct 2026 · 50 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing Boar Epididymal Sperm Preservation: Comparative Analysis of Slicing Float-Up vs. Flushing and BTS vs. Andromed® Extenders on Sperm Motility and Morphometry TraitsMamonene Angelinah Thema, Ntuthuko Raphael Mkhize, Gerhard van der Horst et al.Epididymal sperm collection represents a valuable strategy for preserving genetics from deceased or castrated boars of superior breeding value. The two primary collection methods-slicing float-up (high sperm yield) and flushing (low blood contamination risk)-differ in sperm recovery efficiency, while semen extenders provide cryoprotective nutrients that protect against cold shock during preservation. This study compared the effects of slicing float-up versus … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 14 Mar 2026 · 1,794 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimalization of the Swim-Up Method for Bali Bull Sperm: Effect of Incubation Time and Medium on Sperm KineticsAthhar Manabi Diansyah, Muhammad Yusuf, Rahmat et al.Bali bulls (Bos javanicus) are an essential part of Indonesia’s indigenous livestock, prized for their ability to thrive in challenging environments, their natural disease resistance, and their strong reproductive capabilities. The aim of this study was to refine the swim-up technique for preparing Bali cattle sperm. We evaluated the effects of two commonly used media Tyrode's Albumin Lactate Pyruvate (TALP) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 9 Feb 2026 · 1,687 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn vitro Kinematics Semen Tolerance to Oxidative StressCyril Mpho PilaneInterpretation of semen kinematic parameters remain as a point of discussion in predicting semen quality following processes like cryopreservation. During cryopreservation, oxidative stress remains a challenge in promoting post-thaw semen quality. Comparison of livestock semen exposed to oxidative stress, in vitro, highlight various aspects of sperm cell movement, like kinematics, to predict their qualities. Sperm cell kinematics includes the measurement … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2024 · 4,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAugmentation of Temperatures, Media and Cryoprotectants on in vitro Fertilization of Pig OocytesTumelo Thelma Maduwa, Masindi Lottus Mphaphathi et al.There are numerous challenges to the large-scale production of pig embryos using in vitro procedures. The aim of the present study was to compare the different holding temperatures, in vitro maturation media, and permeating cryoprotectants in the in vitro fertilization of pig oocytes. Ovaries were obtained from the local slaughterhouse, oocytes were retrieved by means of aspiration and slicing techniques … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 29 Aug 2024 · 4,650 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSupplementation with Different Concentrations of Dithiothreitol and Glutathione During Cryopreservation of Semen from Large White BoarsMahlatsana Ramaesela Ledwaba, Masindi Lottus Mphaphathi et al.The study aims to compare different concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mM) of antioxidants, Dithiothreitol (DTT) and Glutathione (GSH), on sperm parameters following the freeze-thawing of semen from large white boars. Three large white boars were selected for semen collection and the collected semen was sent to the lab for analysis. Following dilution with Beltsville thawing solution and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 3 Jun 2024 · 5,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect 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 accessIn the abstractFrozen Semen Quality of Kolbroek Boars Concerning Glutathione ConcentrationsLerato Deirdre Sehlabela, Masindi Lottus Mphaphathi et al.Glutathione (GSH) is an antioxidant that is being studied for its ability to improvecellular responses to semen preservation challenges. The research goal aimed toevaluate the impact of introducing different glutathioneconcentrations to boar semen freezing extender (0, 1, 5, and 10 mM) onthe Kolbroek boar sperm's quality after being frozen and thawed. For 2 h, thecollected sperm-rich fraction was chilled at … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2023 · 6,005 accessesView PDFCite
