Dna Organization in the Mature Sperm of Several Orthoptera by the Method of Polarized Fluorescence Microscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mature sperm of Acheta domesticus, Acheta assimilis, Nemobius fasciatus, Nemobius confusus, Melanoplus femur-rubrum, Romalea microptera, Scudderia curvicauda, and Ceuthophilus nigricans were examined for DNA configuration by means of polarized fluorescence microscopy. In all cases, the results suggest that the DNA lies in unsupercoiled array, predominantly parallel to the elongate sperm head axes. Detailed calculations of the factors influencing the degree of polarization of the fluorescent emission from supercoiled DNA are contained in an appendix.

P-240: Effect of Oxidative Stress on DNA Fragmentation Index in Sperm of Mature Mice
Background: One of the major factors affecting on male infertility is oxidative stress (OS). Two main sources of ROS production are leukocytes and spermatozoa. The ROS such as tertiary-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) may damage and fragmentate to sperm DNA, which can lead to complications in the offspring. In this study, we will investigate the effect of od on DNA fragmentation index (DFI) in sperm ...

Background: Cysteine has been used as additive in cryopreservation extenders. It contains of thiol group which plays an antioxidant role to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) during freeze -thaw procedure. Excessive ROS production cause DNA damage and subsequently reduce sperm fertility. On the other hand, protamine protein have high levels of cysteine which is critical in packaging and co...
متن کاملP-72: Effect of Subinguinal Varicocelectomy on Human Sperm DNA Integrity and Semen Parameters
Background: Varicocele occurs in approximately 15% to 20% of the male population and it is the most common cause of poor semen parameters. It has been demonstrated that patients with varicocele have poor chromatin packing, DNA damage and nuclear anomalies than the healthy men. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate sperm chromatin integrity and semen parameters in these patients after...
متن کاملO-20: Slow-Freezing-Induced Changes of Birefringent Structures in Human Oocytes Are Related to Responsiveness to Ovulation Induction
Background: The slow-freezing method is one of the most popular techniques to freeze human oocytes and it is also used in routine in vitro-fertilization (IVF) programs, particularly in those countries where embryo freezing is not allowed. Slow-freezing damages some of the structures of the egg, among which the meiotic spindle (MS) and the zona pellucida (ZP). Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) pe...

Background: Varicoceles are the abnormal tortuosity and dilatation of the veins of the pampiniform plexus that drain the testis. Recently, studies evaluating the role of oxidative stress in male infertility have shown that infertile men with varicocele have elevated levels of sperm and testicular tissue-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore current study was designed to evaluate prot...
