[ 1 ] - P-63: The Effect of Temperatures on Goat Epididymal Sperm Motility in Tissue Culture Media 199

Background: There is a general deterioration in sperm quality depending on time postmortem. Refrigeration of the epididymes down to around 5°C is the best strategy to lower this damage and there are many dissim ilarities between species, possibly due to differences on cold shock endurance of epididymal sperm. Our objective was to determine the effect of 5°C and 37°C on goat epididymal sperms mo...

[ 2 ] - P-116: The Catalase Effect on LDH Enzyme Leakage of Buffalo Epididymal Sperm During Culture in Human Tubal Fluid Mediaa

Background: Mammalian spermatozoa are highly susceptible to lipid peroxidation, which leads to structural damage to the sperm cell, the enzymatic leakage from spermatozoa accompanied by lowered motility and metabolism. Catalase, an enzyme that detoxify hydrogen peroxide and reduce the enzyme leakage from sperm cell Materials and Methods: For this study, buffalo bull testicles (20 pairs) were pi...

[ 3 ] - P-70: Effect of Xylose on Epididymal Sperm Motility in Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

Background: In mammalian spermatozoa, motility is one of the most important parameters for evaluating the quality of the semen. From a functional point of view, motility is strongly related to the spermatozoa’s ability to manage its energy status, Thus, modulation of energy status could be translated into significant changes in motility patterns. The aim of the present study was to evaluate xyl...
