abstract

the freezing and thawing process not only is associated with serious damage to sperm such as damage to the plasma membrane and the acrosomal membrane but also changes the membrane permeability to some ions including calcium. also, the generation of oxygen free radicals is increased during the freezing-thawing process. the purpose of this study was to evaluate of the effects of trolox as an antioxidant and edetic acid (edta) as a calcium chelator on frozen-thawed (ft) sperm and compare these effects with those on fresh sperm. this study was done on these men of 25 healthy men, who referred to shiraz infertility centerbetween2012 and2013. normal samples were transferred to the reproductivephysiology laboratory, department of physiology,shiraz university of medical sciences, shiraz. the samples were divided into two groups randomly: fresh and ft sperm groups. each group was divided into five subgroups:control group, the solvent group (0.1%dimethyl sulfoxide [dmso]), trolox group (200μm), edta group (1.1mm), and trolox+edta group. the percentages of motility, viability, and acrosome-reacted sperm were tested. the percentages of motility and viability in the ft sperm were lower than those in the fresh sperm. the progressive motility of the ft sperm was improved nonsignificantly with trolox+edta. however, the effect of trolox+edta on the progressive motility of the ft sperm was much more than that on the fresh sperm. the fewest acrosome-reacted sperm were observed in the edta-containingft sperm. antioxidant supplementation or omission of extracellular calcium may partly improve motility and also reduce acrosomal damage in ft sperm.

این مطالعه در سال 1386-87 در آزمایشگاه و مزرعه پژوهشی دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان به منظور تعیین مناسب ترین تیمار بذری و ارزیابی اثر پرایمینگ بر روی سه رقم گلرنگ تحت سه رژیم آبیاری انجام گرفت. برخی از مطالعات اثرات سودمند پرایمینگ بذر را بر روی گیاهان مختلف بررسی کرده اند اما در حال حاضر اطلاعات کمی در مورد خصوصیات مربوط به جوانه زنی، مراحل نموی، عملکرد و خصوصیات کمی و کیفی بذور تیمار شده ژنوتیپ های م...

Effect of chromatin condensation on frozen-thawed sperm DNA integrity in normozoospermic men

Background and Aim: Sperm cryopreservation is a common technique used for management of male infertility. But this method has detrimental effects on sperm DNA and chromatin quality. Evaluation of different markers associated with the health of genetic material of sperm is beneficial for determination of the fertility of sperm. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of sperm chromatin co...

Effect of uterine ligation and cervical plugs on retention of frozen-thawed boar sperm.

Two experiments were conducted to determine whether the prevention of retrograde sperm expulsion from the uterus would enhance ovum fertilization by frozen-thawed boar sperm and whether insertion of a cervical plug would reduce the loss of frozen-thawed boar sperm from the uterus. In Exp. 1, 25 gilts were surgically inseminated and one uterine horn was ligated to prevent expulsion of sperm. Nin...
