Morphologically distinct sperm subpopulations defined by Fourier shape descriptors in fresh ejaculates correlate with variation in boar semen quality following cryopreservation.
This study investigated two hypotheses: 1) that consistent between-boar variation in frozen semen quality exists and is genetically determined, and 2) that morphologically distinct subpopulations of spermatozoa exist within fresh boar ejaculates and that the incidence of these subpopulations is correlated with semen quality following cryopreservation. Five ejaculates were collected from each of...
متن کاملIdentification of sperm subpopulations with defined motility characteristics in ejaculates from Holstein bulls: effects of cryopreservation and between-bull variation.
The aims of the present study were: (1) to determine the existence of sperm subpopulations with specific motility characteristics in fresh ejaculates from Holstein bulls, (2) to investigate the effects of semen cryopreservation and post-thaw incubation on the distribution of spermatozoa within the different subpopulations, and (3) to evaluate the existence of between-bull variation in the sperm...
متن کاملTwo-step cluster procedure after principal component analysis identifies sperm subpopulations in canine ejaculates and its relation to cryoresistance.
A 2-step clustering procedure, using indexes derived from principal component analysis, was used to disclose sperm subpopulations within the canine ejaculate and its relationship to sperm cryoresistance. Semen from 4 dogs was frozen-thawed by a standard protocol: before freezing, computer-assisted sperm analysis of motility and morphometry were performed; after thawing, motility analysis was pe...
متن کاملIntra- and interindividual epigenetic variation in human germ cells.
Epigenetics represents a secondary inheritance system that has been poorly investigated in human biology. The objective of this study was to perform a comprehensive analysis of DNA methylation variation between and within the germlines of normal males. First, methylated cytosines were mapped using bisulphite modification-based sequencing in the promoter regions of the following disease genes: p...
متن کاملMorphometric and kinematic sperm subpopulations in split ejaculates of normozoospermic men
This study was designed to analyze the sperm kinematic and morphometric subpopulations in the different fractions of the ejaculate in normozoospermic men. Ejaculates from eight normozoospermic men were collected by masturbation in three fractions after 3-5 days of sexual abstinence. Analyses of sperm motility by computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA-Mot), and of sperm morphometry by computer-a...
