چکیده
were administered 48 hr after four progesterone regimens (0, 5, 10 and 20 mg/day for 12 days). Each ewe was inseminated 24 hr later with 0\m=.\15ml undiluted semen (\m=ge\500\m=x\106 spermatozoa). After a further 24 hr, the ewes were slaughtered and the vagina, cervix, uterus and Fallopian tubes were flushed for spermatozoa. The population of spermatozoa in the cervix was highly dependent upon oestrogen (P<0\m=.\001)and appeared to be related to dose (P=0\m=.\1).There was no significant mean effect of progesterone but there was a significant interaction with oestrogen (P<0\m=.\05).High numbers of spermatozoa were associated with high doses of oestrogen and of progesterone. The numbers of spermatozoa in the vagina were not related to oestrogen and there was no relationship with the numbers in the cervix (r = \m=-\0\m=.\011). Penetration and maintenance of a cervical population of spermatozoa was related to the level ofoestrogen and full expression required adequate progesterone influence preceding that of oestrogen.

The passage of spermatozoa through the cervix of ovariectomized ewes treated with progesterone and oestrogen.
Thirty spayed ewes were used in a 2 x 3 split-plot factorial experiment (n = 5) in which oestrus was induced with 30 or 90 mug oestradiol benzoate (OB) following a period of progesterone priming. They were inseminated 36 hr after oestrogen and the numbers of spermatozoa in the caudal, mid- and cranial regions of the cervix (sub-plots) were estimated 1, 12 and 24 hr later. At each interval of ti...

Forty ewes (3-6 years of age, average weight 41.2 kg)were randomly chosen from the flock of the sheep experiment station of Tripoli University. Ewes were divided into two groups, control group (C) received untreated barley straw and treatment group (T) received barley straw treated with 10% urea solution applied as 40% (V/W). Barley straw was sprayed with molasses when fed to animals. Both grou...

The aim of this study was to evaluate changes that occur in motility parameters of progesterone treated mouse spermatozoa during course of hyperactivation. Mouse spermatozoa treated with different doses of progesterone were videotaped after 10 min and 90 min of incubation. For each sperm, one second of movement of the head-midpiece junction was traced from the videotape and for each tracing sev...

Purpose: To evaluate the changes that occur in the motility parameters of progesterone treated sperms during the course of hyperactivation. Materials and Methods: Spermatozoa treated with different doses of progesterone were videotaped after 10 min and 90 min. For each sperm, 1 sec. of movement of the head-midpiece junction was traced from the videotape. For each tracing, seven motility parame...

Background: Male infertility refers to the inability of a male to achieve a pregnancy in a fertile female. The root of many causes of infertility is miscommunication between immune and reproductive system. Male reproductive system is very sensitive and vulnerable, infections can hinder maturation and movement of spermatozoa lead to impaired fertility.All species need an immediate reply to the m...
