Studies on the seminal plasma proteins.

The Proteins of Bovine Seminal Plasma

Experiments have been reported in Paper I (1) in which the proteins of bovine seminal plasma were subjected to preliminary and electrophoretic characterization. In order to characterize this protein system further, ultracentrifugal and immunological methods have been applied. A limited amount of work has been reported on the ultracentrifugation of the seminal plasma proteins. Ross (2) has noted...

binding Proteins in Seminal Plasma Transcobalamin II

Study ofcobalamin-binding proteins revealed seminal plasma to be the most concentrated site of transcobalamin II in man. The next richest normal fluid, blood, has approximately one-tenth its concentration. Normal seminal unsaturated cobalamin-binding capacity averaged 15,030±7,290 pg/ml, of which 11,550±6,660 pg/ml was transcobalamin II. Transcobalamin II levels were markedly diminished in subj...

Association of oxidative status and semen characteristics with seminal plasma proteins of buffalo semen

To study the influence of season on oxidative status of buffalo semen and their association with semen characteristics and seminal plasma proteins, ejaculates were collected twice a week in winter, summer and rainy seasons from six adult Bhadawari buffalo bulls. The neat semen was analyzed for semen characteristics immediately after collection and oxidative status viz. lipid peroxidation (LPO),...

Assessment of variations in Indian Bubalus bubalis seminal plasma proteins during winter and summer seasons

 The Indian riverine buffaloes are more susceptible to variations in the environment. These variations affect seminal plasma proteins, which in turn affect fertility. This study was conducted to evaluate variations in the Indian Bubalus bubalis seminal plasma protein profile using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) during winter and summer seasons, and its relation wit...
