متن کاملSperm Malformed Ultrastructure in Gossypol-treated Rabbits
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a sublethal dose of gossypol (20 mg/kg BW, every other day) on sperm malformed ultrastructure of male rabbits. The experiment lasted 8 weeks. Gossypol administration exhibited: severe deteriorations in the head, connecting piece and midpiece of the sperm; significant increases in the malformed acrosomes; dramatic destructions expressed as degeneration ...
متن کاملIntramuscular progesterone injection decreases sperm functionality and fertility in broiler breeder roosters
Chicken seminal plasma contains a high content of sex steroids including progesterone (P4). According to a published study, in vitro supplementation of P4 to the semen resulted in decreased fertility in the White Leghorn chicken; however, it is not known if increased P4 production in vivo is associated with decreased sperm fertility. Therefore, the aim of the present experiment was to study the...
