Background: Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems such as infertility and sub fertility. Lipid peroxidation contributes to the damage of the sperm plasma membrane and result to infertility. In this study effects of Antioxidants (E, C, ...

35 This study looks at the correlations of fatty acids has on different tissues in the 36 European eel (Anguilla anguilla, L.) during hormonally-induced sexual maturation, 37 with different sperm quality parameters. In order to evaluate the different dynamics of 38 the use of fatty acids, a categorization of the results from each sperm quality parameter 39 (volume, concentration, motility and v...

conclusions: saffron, as an antioxidant, is positively effective on sperm parameters in rats exposed with cadmium. objectives: the aim of this study was to determine the effects of saffron on the results of semen parameters (sperm concentration, motility and viability in cauda of epididymis) in rats exposed to cadmium. materials and methods: thirty wistar male rats were divided into four groups...

Measurement of sperm velocity parameters takes an important place in analysis. Today, computer-assisted analysis (CASA) systems are used to detect motility measurements such as VCL (Curvilinear Velocity), VSL (Linear Velocity) and VAP (Average Path Velocity). The path length cells is necessary calculate the it calculated using video processing. However, this obtained by discrete-time processing...

background: in previous investigations, it has been clarified that electromagnetic fields (elf) can cause some changes in cellular behavior. the aim of this prospective study was to investigate the effect of magnetic field (mf) on human sperm parameters of motility, morphology, and viability. materials and methods: semen samples were collected from 12 fertile men, and were allowed to liquefy fo...

Background: Ram sperm have a higher polyunsaturated fatty acids and a lower cholesterol/phospholipid ratio than other species which renders the sperm much more vulnerable to oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative stress can affects the integrity of cells at both the structural and sub structural levels. Therefore, a suitable antioxidant may prevent cryo-injuries and...

black bengal goat is the heritage and one of the potential genetic resources of bangladesh. genetic and phenotypic parameters for semen characteristics and their relationships with scrotal circumference in black bengal bucks were estimated in this experiment. genetic parameters were estimated by residual maximum likelihood procedure, fitting an animal model ignoring maternal genetic or permanen...

the swim-up procedure was used to collect a sperm fraction with improved motility and normal morphology from fertile and infertile semen samples. the untreated and swim-up fractions were analyzed with the hamilton-thorn motility analyser. comparisons were made to see the effect of this sperm selection technique on sperm motility and morphology. they were then examined by transmission electron m...
