Cytoplasmic droplets on boar sperm cells
نویسنده
چکیده
any veterinarians and AI stud managers have inquired about the significance of cytoplasmic droplets on boar sperm cells. I currently advocate using ejaculates for artificial insemination (AI) which have fewer than 20% morphologically abnormal sperm, with no more than 15% attributable to cytoplasmic droplets. There is, however, little published research on cytoplasmic droplets and their effect on fertility in any species. So what do we really know?

Immunofluorescence reveals ubiquitination of retained distal cytoplasmic droplets on ejaculated porcine spermatozoa.
The purpose of the present study was twofold: 1) to determine if antibodies raised against ubiquitin would recognize antigens associated with the porcine cytoplasmic droplet (CD), and 2) to determine if the same antibody would identify ubiquitinated substrates on the surface of morphologically abnormal boar spermatozoa. Permeabilization with the detergent Triton X-100 (0.05%) showed virtually a...
متن کاملAssessment of epididymal sperm obtained from dromedary camel
Testicles were isolated from dromedary camels in a local slaughterhouse at breeding and non-breeding seasons. Sperms were recovered from different parts of the epididymis (caput, corpus and cauda) and stained separately on slide glasses by eosin nigrosin staining method and dried by a hair dryer and carried to the laboratory. In the lab, slides were observed for evaluation of the proportion of ...
متن کاملThe CatSper channel modulates boar sperm motility during capacitation.
The cation channel of sperm (CatSper) comprises four transmembrane subunits specifically expressed in human, equine, murine and ovine spermatozoa, apparently implicated in capacitation, hyperactivation and acrosome exocytosis. Western blotting and immunocytochemistry showed hereby that CatSper subunits are also present in boar spermatozoa, primarily over the sperm neck, tail and cytoplasmic dro...
