The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of semen collection method (artificial vagina compared to electroejaculation), season in which the semen was collected (breeding season compared to non-breeding season), freezing extender (Biladyl(®), Andromed(®) and skim milk based extender) and pre-treatment procedure (washing compared to non-washing) on post-thaw semen quality in buck. Ejacula...

This study tested different concentrations of egg yolk in canine freezing extender void of glycerol, a commonly used cryoprotectant, by examining the motility and morphology throughout the freezing process: initial (baseline after extender added), post-cool (after three hours at 5°C) and post-thaw (after freezing.) Initial values of pH, osmolarity, motility and morphology were obtained for comp...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the probable effects of leptin addition in different levels to the semen extender on sperm quality (motility and motility parameters, viability, sperm membrane integrity, and DNA damage). Semen specimens were evaluated immediately after leptin addition, equilibration time and after thawing the frozen semen. Five healthy buffalo bulls (5 ejaculates from ...

A transferrable maize gene is disclosed which is a dominant mutant allele at the amylose-extender (ae) locus. Maize seeds having this gene produce a high-amylose starch.

objective: the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of four equilibration times (2, 4, 8 and 16 hours) and two extenders (tris or bioxcell®) on cryopreservation of buffalo semen. materials and methods: in this experimental study, split pooled ejaculates (n=4), possessing more than 70% visual sperm motility were divided in two aliquots and diluted in bioxcell ® and tris-citric...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of in vitro supplementation of selenium on fresh and frozen spermatozoa quality of buffalo (bubalus bubalis) bulls. five healthy buffalo bulls (5 ejaculates from each bull) were used. each ejaculate was diluted at 37 ˚c with tris-based extender containing 0 (control), 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 μg ml-1 sodium selenite and the sperm motility and...

We show that a Woodin cardinal is necessary for the Extender Algebra to be complete. Our proof is relatively simple and does not use fine structure.

INTRODUCTION Pilot experiences have suggested that tension forces exerted by a penile extender may reduce penile curvature as a result of Peyronie's disease. AIM To test this hypothesis in a Phase II study using a commonly marketed brand of penile extender. METHODS Peyronie's disease patients with a curvature not exceeding 50 degrees with mild or no erectile dysfunction (ED) were eligible. ...
