Abstract:

Background Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) is known to protect boar sperm during freezing–thawing, but little information is known about the effects of LDL extracted from different avian egg yolks on post-thaw boar semen quality. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the effects of LDL at various concentrations and different species on boar sperm quality after freezing–thawing. MaterialsAndMethods LDL extracted from the yolk of hen egg, duck egg, quail egg, pigeon egg or ostrich egg was added to the extender at the concentrations of 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09 and 0.1 g/ml, respectively, and their effects on frozen– thawed boar sperm quality were assessed. Results According to all measured parameters, the results showed that sperm motility, acrosome integrity and plasma membrane integrity were 43.20, 52.57 and 48.13%, respectively, after being frozen–thawed with 0.09 g/ml LDL extracted from pigeon egg yolk. All these quality parameters were higher than that of other groups (P

The Cryoprotective Effect on Frozen-thawed Boar Semen of Egg Yolk Low Density Lipoproteins

In order to protect the spermatozoa against cold shock, hen egg yolk is widely used as a cryoprotective agent in semen freezing extenders for domestic animals. The protective action of yolk is largely presumed to be due to low density lipoproteins (LDL). The effects of LDL on sperm quality of bull and northern pike (Esox lucius) after freezing-thawing have been reported, but no study has been m...

1. Human total HDL (high-density lipoprotein), HDL2 and HDL3 were labelled in vitro by incubation with lipoproteindeficient serum (LPDS) which contained either [3H]cholesteryl oleate or [14C]cholesterol under different conditions. The lipoproteins were then subfractionated by heparin-Sepharose column chromatography, and three subfractions (A, B and C) were successively eluted from each preparat...

Oxidized Low Density Lipoproteins

The direct vasoactive effects of native and oxidatively modified low density lipoproteins as well as their effects on endothelium-dependent relaxations to 5-hydroxytryptamine were studied in isolated rings of pig right coronary artery. Slowly developing contractions were caused by native low density lipoproteins (100 gg protein/ml). The contractions were more pronounced in the absence than in t...

1262 Human Low Density Lipoproteins

Trichomonas vaginalis is" the microbial agent responsible for trichomonal vaginitis, a major sexually transmitted disease throughout the world (1-4). The complex events involved in trichomonad parasitism of host cells are poorly understood. We have focused on the ability of T. vaginaiis to selectively acquire host-derived macromolecules in order to better define host-trichomonad interactions (5...

Effects of Lycopene on the Susceptibility of Low-Density Lipoproteins to Oxidative Modification

The intake of antioxidants intake has been reported to be inversely associated with the incidence of coronary artery disease. To clarify the possible role of lipophilic antioxidants in prevention of atherosclerosis, we investigated the effects of lycopene on the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidative modification. In this study, “lycopene” was added to plasma and incubated...
