Effect of antioxidant on sperm freezing
A major cause of male infertility, which includes 50 causes of infertility, is oxidative stress. The aerobic respiration in the sperm cell is associated with the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Some reactions such as sperm capacitation and acrosome reactions require moderate levels of ROS. However, when the amount of ROS production surpasses the natural antioxidant defense of the ...
متن کاملAn Experimental and Theoretical Study of Freezing of Pure Aluminum
In this work, Boltzmann transform has been used to analyze the problem of freezing of pure Aluminum in semi-infinite domain. The uniqueness of solution (solidification front location) has been proved using the characteristics of the functions appeared in solution. The effect of density change on temperature distribution and errors resulting from ignoring this change have been investigated. The ...
متن کاملEffect of Pre-Fixation Delay and Freezing on Mink Testicular Endpoints for Environmental Research
There is growing interest in using wild animals to monitor the real-life cocktail effect of environmental chemicals on male reproduction. However, practical difficulties, such as long distances to the laboratory, generally prolong the time between euthanisation and specimen handling. For instance, tissue fixation is often performed on frozen material or on material where deterioration has start...
متن کاملBeing a Zoophysiologist | Freezing frogs: how extreme can they go?
As I’ve written about before, some North American frogs have the remarkable ability to freeze solid during winter. Wood frogs (formerly Rana sylvatica, apparently now Lithobates sylvaticus) achieve this by pumping cells full of glucose, which lowers the freezing point of cytoplasm, thus preventing ice crystals forming inside cells (whilst allowing the rest of the animal to freeze). Although thi...
متن کاملEvaluation of freezing tolerance in olive cultivars by stomatal density and freezing stress
Selection of frost tolerant cultivars and understanding the mechanisms of frost hardiness could help to improve freezing resistance in olive plants. Olive cultivars may differ in frost hardiness due to differential survival of specific organs. The aim of this study was to screen different olive cultivars based on their stomatal density and metabolic modifications under cold conditions. The ‘Zar...
