چکیده

The effects of potassium, sodium, chloride and calcium on the percentage progressive motility of samples of chimpanzee and bull spermatozoa were investigated. Inhibitors and stimulatory of motility were identified. Three parameters of chimpanzee sperm motility, velocity, frequency and amplitude, were measured. There was no consistent change related to ion concentration. The ionic constituents of chimpanzee and bull seminal plasma were also analysed.

Anti-oxidative Effects of Ethanol Extract of Origanum vulgare on Kinetics, Microscopic and Oxidative Parameters of Cryopreserved Holstein Bull Spermatozoa

Origanum vulgare contains high levels of phenolic compounds such as gallic acid and polyphenols such as rosmarinic acid and quercetin. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Origanum vulgare extract, as a natural antioxidant, on freezing-thawing semen quality in Holstein bulls. Three Holstein bulls (5-6 years old, mean live weight 800 kg) were used for semen collection twic...

Effect of the Addition of Insulin Like Growth Factor-I (IGF-I) on Cryopreservation of Hariana Bull Semen

This experiment was designed to study the effect of insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) on cryopreservation of Hariana bull semen. For this purpose, semen ejaculates were collected from four Hariana bulls using artificial vagina at biweekly interval. The semen samples which possess more than 70% initial progressive motility and above 500 million/mL spermatozoa concentration was subsequently su...

Effects of seminal plasma ionic content, pH and osmolality on spermatozoa motility in bester (Female Huso huso × Male Acipenser ruthenus) sturgeon

The ionic contents, pH and osmolality of seminal plasma and their relationships to sperm motility indices (sperm motility duration and percentage of motile sperm) were evaluated in bester. Semen was collected from six bester specimens and their seminal plasma was evaluated. The seminal plasma contained 54.5±2.8 mM sodium, 22.33±2.5 mM chloride, 7.1±1.2 mM potassium, 3.55±0.6 mM calcium and 0.58...

In this study, sperm characteristics (motility parameters and ionic composition of seminal plasma) and effect of ions on motility (duration of motility of sperm and percentage of motile spermatozoa) and fertilization capacity (fertilization rate, hatching rate, survival rate and larvae length) were investigated in Ctenopharyngdon idella. The longest duration of motility obtained in solution con...
