Relationship between sperm ATP content and motility of carp spermatozoa.
Carp spermatozoa are immotile in seminal plasma or in saline solution of high osmolality (> 400 mosmol kg-1). These 'quiescent' spermatozoa initiate a progressive forward motility when transferred in freshwater or in saline solution with low osmolality (< 160 mosmol kg-1). In this study we investigated 'in vitro' the relationship between sperm ATP content (measured by bioluminescence) and sperm...
متن کاملSperm Function Tests in the Stallion
Introduction: There are many tests that describe semen quality in the stallion which include sperm motility, morphology, and longevity of motility and determination of total sperm numbers. In addition, recently, the flow cytometer (FC) has been used to evaluate various sperm compartment following staining with specific fluorescent probes that bind to different compartments of the sperm. Our lab...
متن کاملPresence and Function of Dopamine Transporter (DAT) in Stallion Sperm: Dopamine Modulates Sperm Motility and Acrosomal Integrity
Dopamine is a catecholamine with multiple physiological functions, playing a key role in nervous system; however its participation in reproductive processes and sperm physiology is controversial. High dopamine concentrations have been reported in different portions of the feminine and masculine reproductive tract, although the role fulfilled by this catecholamine in reproductive physiology is a...
متن کاملFreezing stallion semen with the new Cáceres extender improves post thaw sperm quality and diminishes stallion-to-stallion variability.
Ejaculates from 7 stallions were split and simultaneously frozen in three different extenders, INRA 96 egg yolk glycerol, Ghent and the newly developed extender Caceres. After thawing, samples were evaluated for motility (CASA system) sperm membrane integrity and early membrane changes (YoPro-1/Eth staining), acrosome integrity (FICT-PNA), and mitochondrial membrane potential (JC-1) (flow cytom...
متن کاملThe effect of aminoguanidine on sperm motility and mitochondrial membrane potential in varicocelized rats
Objective(s): Increased levels of nitric oxide (NO) in the testicular veins of people suffering from varicocele have already been reported. However, the role of NO-synthase (NOS) isozymes and their inhibitors have not been extensively studied. We aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of aminoguanidine (AG), on sperm motility, vitality, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in varicoceli...
