Similarities and differences between the sperm quality index and sperm mobility index of broiler breeder semen.
The sperm quality index (SQI) and sperm mobility index (SMI) both predict sperm motility. Previous research was conducted comparing the SMI with the SQI; however, semen was diluted improperly for the SQI (40-fold). For an accurate comparison, semen must be diluted 10-fold for the SQI. Therefore, the overall objective of this study, utilizing 4 experiments, was to examine the relationship of the...
متن کاملIon channels in sperm physiology.
Fertilization is a matter of life or death. In animals of sexual reproduction, the appropriate communication between mature and competent male and female gametes determines the generation of a new individual. Ion channels are key elements in the dialogue between sperm, its environment, and the egg. Components from the outer layer of the egg induce ion permeability changes in sperm that regulate...
متن کاملIon channels, phosphorylation and mammalian sperm capacitation.
Sexually reproducing animals require an orchestrated communication between spermatozoa and the egg to generate a new individual. Capacitation, a maturational complex phenomenon that occurs in the female reproductive tract, renders spermatozoa capable of binding and fusing with the oocyte, and it is a requirement for mammalian fertilization. Capacitation encompasses plasma membrane reorganizatio...
متن کاملSimilarities and dissimilarities between calmodulin and a Chlamydomonas flagellar protein.
A protein that resembles vertebrate calmodulins and troponin C has been isolated from Chlamydomonas flagella by using a calmodulin purification protocol that included calcium-dependent affinity-based adsorption chromatography on phenothiazine-Sepharose conjugates. The flagellar protein resembled calmodulin in elution from reverse-phase columns, had a peptide map similar to that of calmodulin, a...
متن کاملDifferences and Similarities in Attentional Bias between Patients with Bipolar II Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder
Background and purpose: The boundary between bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder has always been a matter of debate. Despite the importance of this issue, only a few studies have directly compared these two groups. The main purpose of this study was to compare the cognitive profile of patients with bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder in terms of attentional bia...
