Resveratrol as a protective agent of goat sperm submitted to sex sorting in discontinuous Percoll gradient - preliminary results
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Sexing sperm is an important biotechnical that enables improve animal production, with achievement of maximum animal breeding. However, all sex semen methodologies can promote irreparable damages to sperm cell, which compromise their fertility [1]. Among the main causes of injures to the sperm are the reactive oxygen species, which have their production intensified during semen manipulation [2]. Therefore, antioxidants therapies can be an important alternative to protect the sperm during laboratory manipulation [3]. Thus, as resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant with an important role on sperm protection [3], the aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of resveratrol on goat sperm submitted to sex sorting in discontinuous Percoll gradient.

Enrichment of CD9 spermatogonial stem cells from goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) testis using magnetic microbeads
The well documented source for adult multipotent stem cells is spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) of mammalian testis. It is foundation of spermatogenesis in the testis throughout adult life by balancing self-renewal and differentiation. SSCs isolation from mammalian testis is difficult because of their scarcity and the lack of well characterized cell surface markers. Thus, the isolation of SSCs ...
متن کاملComparison of CapriPure and Percoll density gradients for sperm separation of frozen- thawed goat spermatozoa
Frozen-thawed semen from six Boer bucks was pooled and used to compare the recently available commercial product CapriPure with Percoll for sperm quality. Sperm quality parameters such as sperm motility, concentration, membrane integrity (PI/CFDA), acrosome integrity (FITC-PNA) and mitochondrial activity (JC-1) were evaluated before and after sperm processing using CapriPure and Percoll density...

In this study, different combinations of 2-step, discontinuous gradient centrifugation were used, consisting of three different combinations of isotonic Percoll (45/60, 60/75 and 45/90%) that allowed us to select different sperm subpopulations from fertile and normozoospermic boars. Our objective in this study is to evaluate the effects of centrifugation through three different discontinuous Pe...

The use of cryopreserved donor spermatozoa for insemination has become necessary to decrease the risk from sexually transmitted infectious diseases. Lower fecundity rates have been reported with this practice. Efforts have been applied to increase success, including identification of those sperm characteristics which correlate with increased fecundity. Data from in-vitro fertilization have reve...
