چکیده

Mouse and hamster spermatozoa from the cauda epididymidis were deposited into the female tract at various periods following ligation of the corpus epididymidis. It was found that the number of spermatozoa in the cauda epididymidis decreased sooner in the hamster than in the mouse but the initial decrease in fertilizing ability occurred much earlier in the mouse than in the hamster. The fertilizing life of spermatozoa in the cauda epididymidis is approximately 25 days in both species.

In vivo fertilization after initiation of sperm motility in the hamster epididymis.

Hamster spermatozoa, collected from the caput and the cauda of the epididymis, are known to differ in their motility. They do not normally acquire fertilizing ability until they reach the proximal portion of the cauda epididymidis. The aim of the present investigation was to test the fertilizing capacity of spermatozoa from the caput epididymis after initiation. Sperm cells were incubated by ad...

Evaluation of frozen thawed cauda epididymal sperms and in vitro fertilizing potential of bovine sperm collected from the cauda epididymal

In the present study, the fertilizing potential of semen recovered from slaughtered bulls epididymis was evaluated after cryopreservation, by conventional techniques and flow cytometry methods. The cauda epididymal was dissected and sperm were recovered and evaluated for volume, sperm concentration, and membrane and acrosome integrity using a flow cytometer. Sperm fertility potential was tested...

Development and initiation of sperm motility in the hamster epididymis.

Hamster spermatozoa were isolated from the caput, corpus and cauda epididymidis. They were observed in culture medium at 37 degrees C with a phase-contrast microscope and their motility recorded cinematographically. About 20 p. 100 of the caput epididymidis spermatozoa were motile and moved in a confined space with no forward progression. 30 p. 100 of the corpus epididymidis spermatozoa were mo...

The ethane dimethanesulfonate-induced decrease in the fertilizing ability of cauda epididymal sperm is independent of the testis.

Several decades ago it was reported that when adult male rats were exposed to a single injection of 50 mg/kg body weight ethane dimethanesulfonate (EDS) and mated with untreated females, average litter size was significantly reduced as early as 2 weeks later. Recently, we demonstrated that EDS exerts multiple effects in the epididymis of adult rats. Some of these effects were independent of red...

P-105: Study of The Protective Effect of Equisetum Arvense Alcoholic Extract on In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Development in Diabetic Male Mice

Background: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that in long period can damage the testis and reduce the semen quality. Therefore, it can impair the male fertility potential. Recently, different herbal therapeutic treatment for protection of diabetes and its pathologic effects have been used. The aim of current study is to evaluate the protective effect of Equisetum arvense extract (EE) on in vitr...
