Effect of quality of sperm chromatin structure on in -vitro production of cattle embryos

چکیده
Bull effect on results of in vitro embryo production has been well documented. The aim of the present study was to find the relationship between quality of bull sperm chromatin and its effect on in vitro embryo production. Bovine in vitro matured oocytes were fertilized in vitro using capacitated spermatozoa (freshly ejaculated or frozen-thawed) of 12 bulls. Semen was simultaneously processed according to the sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) method and was analysed by flow cytometry. At least 3 replications of IVP with the same semen sample were done. The percentage of spermatozoa with abnormal chromatin ranged from 0.4% to 23.8%. All bulls used for the experiment were divided into three groups showing minimal (0.82%±6.82%), low (1.70%±15.82%) and high (18.16%±53.59%) percentages of spermatozoa with abnormal chromatin structure. Both cleavage rates and embryo development to the blastocyst stage were correlated significantly with sperm chromatin abnormalities and resulted in 23.1, 17.7 and 12.2% of blastocysts respectively for sperm with minimal, low and high percentages of chromatin abnormalities. The SCSA method may be used as a practical indicator of suitability of bull ejaculate for IVP purposes.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has toxic effects through the induction of oxidative stress in the body and testicles. Vitamin E (Vit E) is a dietary compound that functions as an antioxidant scavenging toxic free radicals. The present study aimed to probe the protective effect of Vit E against PVC-induced reprotoxicity in male rats. In this experimental study, 24 male rats were randomly divided into ...

Side effects of ciprofloxacin (CPFX), a widely used broad spectrum antibiotic with fluoroquinolone core, have been reported in different organs. In the present study we sought to elucidate the impact of ciprofloxacin on sperm chromatin integrity and sperm DNA damage using Aniline Blue and Acridine Orange technique, respectively. The fertility potential in male mice was also evaluated. NMRI male...

Background: Prolonged alcohol abuse in men can cause testosterone deficiency and shrinkage of the testicles (testicular atrophy). This can lead to impotence, sterility and ‘feminisation’. When alcohol is broken down in the body, it may also interfere with normal sperm structure and movement. This study was designed to determine the effects of administration of alcohol on sperm quality, sperm ma...
