چکیده

Buffalo spermatozoa have been studied cytochemically and biochemically to investigate their phospholipids, which appear to be phosphatidyl choline, lysolecithin, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl inositol, phosphatidyl glycerol and monogalactosyl diglyceride. Most of them form lipoprotein complexes in the regions of the plasma membrane, the post-nuclear cap and the mid-piece. The lipid composition of buffalo spermatozoa has been compared to and contrasted with that of bull and ram spermatozoa and species differences are indicated.

P-113: Quality Improvement of Buffalo Frozen -Thawed Spermatozoa by Supplementation of Cysteine and Glutamine in Cryopreservation Extender

Background: Sperm cryopreservation has been associated with over production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Buffalo spermatozoa are susceptible to ROS inducing damages due to insufficient level of cytoplsmic antioxidant along with high amount of poly unsaturated fatty acids composition in membrane structure. Therefore, appropriate antioxidant in buffalo cryopreservation extender would reduce ...

Evaluation of lipid changes in buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) spermatozoa during in-vitro capacitation and acrosome reaction

In this study, buffalo spermatozoa were in-vitro capacitated and acrosome reacted using modified Tyrode’s bicarbonatebuffered medium (sp-TALP media). Lipids were extracted from freshly ejaculated, in-vitro capacitated and acrosome reacted buffalo spermatozoa. The total lipid content of freshly ejaculated spermatozoa (171.5±2.90 μg/108 cells), capacitated spermatozoa (128.2±3.29 μg/108 cells) an...

P-116: The Catalase Effect on LDH Enzyme Leakage of Buffalo Epididymal Sperm During Culture in Human Tubal Fluid Mediaa

Background: Mammalian spermatozoa are highly susceptible to lipid peroxidation, which leads to structural damage to the sperm cell, the enzymatic leakage from spermatozoa accompanied by lowered motility and metabolism. Catalase, an enzyme that detoxify hydrogen peroxide and reduce the enzyme leakage from sperm cell Materials and Methods: For this study, buffalo bull testicles (20 pairs) were pi...

P-119: In Vitro Assessment of Sucrose for Preservation of Buffalo Epididymal Spermatozoa

Background: Epididymal spermatozoa have been used for production of offspring from genetically important animals after they are dead. To attain optimal fertility with epididymal spermatozoa, they should be preserved in a suitable medium in 37°C. Preservation media provides requirement for spermatozoa and affects its motility, viability, and fertility. Sucrose is one of the important components ...
