introduction: cryopreservation of single human spermatozoa is a new technique designed to improve the management of male infertility, it was first introduced in 1997 and was reported by others latter. the aim of this research was to evaluate the efficiency of this method in preserving either ejaculated or surgically retrieved spermatozoae. materials and methods: spermatozoae were obtained from ...

Background Cryopreservation procedure for poultry semen is not reliable due to structural and biochemical damages which can lead to reduction in sperm quality and fertility. Development of cryopreservation medium has crucial effects for successful recovery of sperm after freezing. The objective of this study was assessment of cryopreservation of rooster semen using hand-made cryopreservation me...

The present paper highlights aspects of the cryopreservation of boar semen, a species with particular large, fractionated ejaculates, and a cumbersome cryotechnology that had prevented its commercial application. With the dramatic increase of use of liquid pig semen for artificial breeding over the past decade, developments on cryopreservation alongside the routine use of stud boar semen for AI...

Female moths of Bombyx mori were artificially inseminated with cryopreserved semen. The fertility of inseminated females varied from 0% to 76.9% depending on the strain. Addition of fresh semen from triploid males, which are infertile but whose semen includes intact apyrene sperm, greatly improved fecundity of cryopreserved semen from normal males. Frozen apyrene sperm from the triploid donors ...

Altered glycosylation of proteins in cancer cells is one of the main processes responsible for anaplasia, invasion and metastatic potential of neoplastic cells. Lectins are nonimmunogenetic compounds which specifically detect certain terminal sugars of glycoconjugates. The aim of the present study was to identify the N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNac) containing glycoconjugates in cancer cells in a...

background: cryopreservation of semen requires optimized conditions to minimize the harmful effects of various stresses. the main approach for protection of sperm against stress is based on the use of antioxidants and cryoprotectants, which are described as defensive methods. recently, the application of controlled mild stressors has been described for activation of a temporary response in oocy...

OBJECTIVE To review the literature and answer questions about semen quality in young cancer patients before and after therapy and the importance of sperm cryopreservation. METHODS All aspects of sperm cryopreservation and effects of therapies on semen quality were examined on the basis of MedLine database searches. RESULTS Chemotherapy, radiation, or their combination results in a significa...

Cryopreservation is an efficient way to store spermatozoa and plays a critical role in the livestock industry as well as in clinical practice. During cryopreservation, cryo-stress causes substantial damage to spermatozoa. In present study, the effects of cryo-stress at various cryopreservation steps, such as dilution / cooling, adding cryoprtectant, and freezing were studied in spermatozoa coll...

The Effect of using Different Levels Luteolin on Reducing Malondialdehyde Content and Increasing the Motility Viability Ross 308 Rooster Sperm during Cryopreservation Thawing Process

Laboratories around the world have produced tens of thousands of mutant and transgenic zebrafish lines. As with mice, maintaining all of these valuable zebrafish genotypes is expensive, risky, and beyond the capacity of even the largest stock centers. Because reducing oxidative stress has become an important aspect of reducing the variability in mouse sperm cryopreservation, we examined whether...
