Viability of fungal cultures maintained at -70 degrees C

Ghrelin enhances viability of rat spermatozoa during incubation at 37°C

Antioxidant properties of ghrelin have been demonstrated in recent studies. In the present study, theeffects of chronic administration of ghrelin on the motility and plasma membrane integrity of rat spermatozoa during incubation at 37ºC were investigated. Thirty 45-day-old male Wistar rats were divided into control and treatment groups. Rats in the treatment group were daily injected subcutaneo...

Determination of the Viability at +4°C of Freeze-Dried Attenuated Live Agalactiae Vaccine

Long term maintenance of Theileria annulata strains by freezing at -70'C

Formation of H(2) and CH(4) by weathering of olivine at temperatures between 30 and 70 degrees C

Hydrocarbons such as CH4 are known to be formed through the Fischer-Tropsch or Sabatier type reactions in hydrothermal systems usually at temperatures above 100°C. Weathering of olivine is sometimes suggested to account for abiotic formation of CH4 through its redox lowering and water splitting properties. Knowledge about the CH4 and H2 formation processes at low temperatures is important for t...

Viability and fertility of rabbit spermatozoa diluted in Tris-buffer extenders and stored at 15 degrees C.

Artificial insemination (AI) in rabbits is not extensive in the breeding programs of the rabbit meat industry. A limiting factor is related to the semen preservation. In order to improve the use of AI, two experiments have been conducted to evaluate sperm viability and fertility of rabbit semen chilled and stored at 15 degrees C after dilution in Tris-based extenders. In Experiment 1, pooled se...
