Sperm Capacitation and in Vitro Fertilization in Cattle
The slaughtered cows or heifers have a large number of immature oocytes within primordial follicles or developing follicles. Therefore, it is useful to aspirate immature oocytes, which would be wasted if left unprocessed, from ovaries; subsequently they are matured in vitro (IVM), fertilized in vitro (IVF), and cultured in vitro (IVC). Also most recently it has been shown that immature oocytes ...
متن کاملProteins implicated in sperm capacitation.
Spermatozoa after being deposited in the female reproductive tract spend a considerable time in this foreign environment prior to fertilization of the oocyte. Chang and Austin independently observed1,2 that this time spent by the spermatozoa in the female tract is not consequential but a necessary event in the life cycle of the male gamete, and Austin2 first called this maturation period of spe...
متن کاملHuman sperm capacitation and in-vitro fertilization in a chemically defined and protein-free medium SMART1.
Media for sperm capacitation and in-vitro fertilization (IVF) are supplemented by proteins (albumin, globulins) extracted from human or animal sera, which raises the problem of potential contamination by pathogens. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of a protein-free medium (SMART1, Bio-Media, Boussens, France) and to compare it with a human serum albumin (HSA) containing medium...
متن کاملImportance of sperm morphology during sperm transport and fertilization in mammals
After natural or artificial insemination, the spermatozoon starts a journey from the site of deposition to the place of fertilization. However, only a small subset of the spermatozoa deposited achieves their goal: to reach and fertilize the egg. Factors involved in controlling sperm transport and fertilization include the female reproductive tract environment, cell-cell interactions, gene expre...
متن کاملSperm capacitation in the porcine oviduct.
In vitro studies suggests that sperm capacitation occurs in the sperm reservoir (SR) of the pig, with spermatozoa progressing towards the ampullary-isthmic junction (AIJ) around ovulation as a consequence of capacitation/hyperactivation. In contrast, in vivo studies are scarce. Consequently, we determined the degree of capacitation in boar spermatozoa that were retrieved from the SR of sows at ...
