چکیده

S PERMATOZOA from the caput, corpus and cauda epididymis and ejaculated sperm were analyzed for their phospholipid and phospholipid fatty acid content. Caput spermatozoa contained 16 and 34% more total phospholipid than sperm from the corpus and cauda epididymis, respectively. Caudal sperm were similar to ejaculated sperm in phospholipid content. Seminal plasma from ejaculated semen collected as sperm rich contained twice the phospbolipid found in whole ejaculate seminal plasma. Caudal epididymal plasma contained 32 times more phospholipid than ejaculated plasma. Unsaturated fatty acids comprised about 70% of the total fatty acids present in ejaculated sperm phospholipid and from 58 to 65% of the fatty acids in epididymal sperm. Docosapentaenoic (22:5co6) and docosahexanoic (22:6) acid were the predominant fatty acids present. Plasma phospholipid from the ejaculated semen contained 50 to 54% unsaturated fatty acids. Palmitic and arachidic acid were predominant in quantity. Seminal vesicle fluid phosphollpid contained three predominant fatty acids, stearic, oleic and linoleic acid, comprising 78% of the total fatty acids present.

Epididymosomes and prostasomes: their roles in posttesticular maturation of the sperm cells.

The occurrence of membrane vesicles along the male reproductive tract and in the ejaculated semen appears as a common feature among different species, including humans. Indeed, prostasomes (prostate-derived vesicles) were first described in human semen in 1978 (Ronquist et al, 1978), and vesicular structures similar to prostasomes were also found in the seminal plasma of rabbit (Davis, 1978), r...

Evaluation of the Relationship between Endometriosis and Omega-3 and Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids

Background: Endometriosis is a common chronic inflammation causing major problems including infertility. The role of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as their potential anti-inflammatory effects in endometriosis needs to be further explored. The objective of this study was to compare serum phospholipid fatty acid profile in endometriosis patients with controls, and to explore the correlation of ...

Effect of male accessory gland secretions on sensitivity of porcine sperm acrosomes to cold shock, initiation of motility and loss of cytoplasmic droplets.

Hyaluronidase release was used as an index of acrosomal membrane damage during cold shock of epididymal boar sperm and ejaculated sperm from intact and vesiculectomized boars. Sperm were also incubated with seminal plasma from intact and vasectomized boars to examine the contributions of male accessory gland secretions. Acrosomal membranes of epididymal sperm were more resistant to cold shock t...

Developmental competence of Dromedary camel oocytes fertilized in vitro by frozen-thawed ejaculated and epididymal spermatozoa

The present study aimed to compare the in vitro fertilizing capacity of frozen-thawed ejaculated and epididymal spermatozoa in order to standardize the semen preparation protocol for camel in vitro fertilization (IVF). Semen samples were collected from 7 Dromedary camels by means of artificial vagina (AV). Ten cauda epididymes were obtained from slaughtered adult camels, isolated, incised and r...

Effect of L-Carnitine Supplementation on Boar Semen Quality

Jacyno E., A. Kołodziej, M. Kamyczek, M. Kawęcka, K. Dziadek, A. Pietruszka: Effect of L-Carnitine Supplementation on Boar Semen Quality. Acta Vet Brno 2007, 76: 595-600. The effect of addition of L-carnitine on boar semen quality was studied in 5 Pietrain boars at age 1.5 2.0 years. The boars received 500 mg of L-carnitine per day for 5 weeks. During this period, their ejaculates were collecte...
