چکیده

Sections of ejaculated spermatozoa from rabbits with known fertility were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Acrosome defects, odd head shapes, the presence of spermatids and the decondensation of sperm nuclei were recorded. The fertility negatively correlated with the number of acrosomal defects, while litter size was negatively related to nuclear decompaction. Sperm nuclear decondensation was present in all ejaculates. Its frequency was correlated with that of spermatids in ejaculates.

Progesterone treatment of boar spermatozoa improves male pronuclear formation after intracytoplasmic sperm injection into porcine oocytes.

Boar spermatozoa were prepared for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) by two different treatments to facilitate sperm chromatin decondensation and improve fertilisation rates after ICSI in pigs: spermatozoa were either frozen and thawed without cryoprotectants, or treated with progesterone. Morphological changes of the sperm heads after the treatments were examined and then the activation ...

Effects of Panax ginseng, zearalenol, and estradiol on sperm function

BACKGROUND Estrogen signaling pathways are modulated by exogenous factors. Panax ginseng exerts multiple activities in biological systems and is classified as an adaptogen. Zearalenol is a potent mycoestrogen that may be present in herbs and crops arising from contamination or endophytic association. The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of P. ginseng, zearalenol and estradiol in...

Effect of chromatin condensation on frozen-thawed sperm DNA integrity in normozoospermic men

Background and Aim: Sperm cryopreservation is a common technique used for management of male infertility. But this method has detrimental effects on sperm DNA and chromatin quality. Evaluation of different markers associated with the health of genetic material of sperm is beneficial for determination of the fertility of sperm. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of sperm chromatin co...
