The present study evaluated supplementation of zinc from different sources during chicken semen cryopreservation on post-thaw quality and fertility. Adult White Leghorn was cryopreserved using 4% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in Sasaki diluent (SD). In the cryomixture oxide (6.25 12.5 µM) sulphate (100 200 added cryopreserved. plastic straws were thawed at 5°C for 100 sec samples sperm motility, li...

The DMSO reductase family consists of proteins that catalyze oxygen atom transfer reactions. These proteins are characterized by a mononuclear Mo center that is ligated by one or two molybdopterin cofactors (through the two thiolates). DMSO reductase itself is ligated by two molybdopterin cofactors and catalyzes the reduction of dimethyl sulfoxide to dimethyl sulfide. This reaction is important...

Controlling the crystallinity, homogeneity, and surface morphology is an efficient method of enhancing perovskite layer. These improvements contribute toward optimization film for its use in high-performance photovoltaic applications. Here, different solvents will be used order to process precursor, improve interfacial contacts through generating a smooth uniform crystal domains with large grai...

The hydroxyl radical (OH.) scavenger dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was found to dose-dependently inhibit interleukin 8 (IL-8) production in LPS-stimulated human whole blood. At a concentration of 1% (vol/vol), DMSO blocked IL-8 release by approximately 90% in the presence of 1 microgram/ml LPS at a 24-h time point, but did not affect cell viability or reduce the production of tumor necrosis factor ...

BACKGROUND Cryopreservation of mammalian ovaries has been reported with different levels of success. Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue may be a potential alternative for treatment of infertility and many attempts have been done to improve the efficiency of ovarian cryopreservation. The objective of the present study was to compare the direct cover vitrification (DCV) with ethylene glycol (EG),...

DMSO, Dog, Burn, Wound, Healing Burn injury is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Healing of burn wounds still remains a challenge to modern medicine. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on a second-degree burn wounds and compare it with that of silver sulfadiazine (SSD) 1% cream in dogs. A standard deep second-degree burn wound was pr...

We studied the direct vascular effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in isolated middle cerebral arteries and on pial arteriolar caliber after subarachnoid perivascular microinjection in chloralose-anesthetized cats, and on brain retraction in cats given DMSO intravenously. DMSO did not constrict isolated cerebral arteries at any of the concentrations studied (10(-10) to 4 X 10(-1) M). In middle...

The phase transition kinetics and mechanism of formation of a lamellar-crystalline phase of dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE) dispersed in different concentrations of aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) during cooling have been examined by differential scanning calorimetry and synchrotron X-ray diffraction techniques. In dispersions containing mole fractions of DMSO (x<0.22), the phase t...

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been known to enhance cell membrane permeability of drugs or DNA. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with single-component lipid bilayers predicted the existence of three regimes of action of DMSO: membrane loosening, pore formation and bilayer collapse. We show here that these modes of action are also reproduced in the presence of cholesterol in the bilayer, and ...
