the in vitro effect of leptin on semen quality of water buffalo (bubalus bubalis) bulls

The in vitro effect of leptin on semen quality of water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) bulls

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the probable effects of leptin addition in different levels to the semen extender on sperm quality (motility and motility parameters, viability, sperm membrane integrity, and DNA damage). Semen specimens were evaluated immediately after leptin addition, equilibration time and after thawing the frozen semen. Five healthy buffalo bulls (5 ejaculates from ...

P-117: The In Vitro Effect of Leptin on Semen Quality of Water Buffalo (Bubal Us Bubalis) Bulls

Background: Several studies have recently investigated the role of leptin, the polypeptide hormone secreted primarily by white adipose tissue, in the reproduction of rodents, humans, and domestic animals. Materials and Methods: To investigate the in vitro effect of leptin on buffalo semen quality in equilibrated and frozen thawed semen, five healthy buffalo bulls (5 ejaculates from each bull) w...

Effects of the Seminal Plasma Iron and Lead Content on Semen Quality of Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) Bulls

In order to determine iron and lead content of seminal plasma in water buffalo and to study their associations with the semen characteristics, 54 semen samples were collected from 10 buffalo bulls. The semen characteristics were evaluated; its iron and lead content were estimated by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The iron and lead content of the seminal plasma (Mean ± SEM) was recorde...

Effect of Leptin on In Vitro Nuclear Maturation and Apoptosis of Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) Oocyte

Effect of age and season on some semen parameters of Nili-Ravi buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) bulls

This study was carried out on 16 buffalo bulls (Bubalus bubalis) divided into four age groups, including three healthy (less than 5, 6-10, and more than 11 year old animals), and one abnormal group (6-10 year old bulls having poor semen quality). The study was undertaken for a one year period divided into five seasons (dry summer, humid summer, autumn, winter and spring). Overall semen volume w...
