Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) extracted from egg yolk has recently known can eliminate the adverse effect associated in use of fresh yolk. The role LDL liquid preservation at 4°C ram sperm not been explored. This research evaluates effects substituting with 4 °C on 5 days. objective this was to assess for as an extender 4°C, well spermatozoa motility, viability, morphology, plasma membrane, and...

A total of 15 agar media were examined for their yield, selectivity, readability, and simplicity of preparation and use. A thallium medium of Barnes was selected as the better of the high yield-fair selectivity type of medium and an azide-citrate medium of Reinbold appeared to be the better of the low yield-high selectivity type of medium. Sodium carbonate (optimal concentration, 0.20%) was fou...

Catlin, B. Wesley (Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wis.) and Gertrude M. Schloer. A defined agar medium for genetic transformation of Neisseria meningitidis. J. Bacteriol. 83:470-474. 1962.-An agar medium was developed for use in quantitative genetic studies of Neisseria meningitidis strain 15. It contains eight inorganic salts, sodium citrate, sodium lactate, arginine, cysteine, glycine, sodi...

Carp spermatozoa are immotile in seminal plasma or in saline solution of high osmolality (> 400 mosmol kg-1). These 'quiescent' spermatozoa initiate a progressive forward motility when transferred in freshwater or in saline solution with low osmolality (< 160 mosmol kg-1). In this study we investigated 'in vitro' the relationship between sperm ATP content (measured by bioluminescence) and sperm...

SLC13A5 is a Na⁺-coupled transporter for citrate that is expressed in the plasma membrane of specific cell types in the liver, testis, and brain. It is an electrogenic transporter with a Na⁺:citrate3- stoichiometry of 4:1. In humans, the Michaelis constant for SLC13A5 to transport citrate is ~600 μM, which is physiologically relevant given that the normal concentration of citrate in plasma is i...

Rate and activation parameters for the complex-formation reaction of Ni(2+) with 4-(2-pyridylazo)-N,N-dimethyl aniline (PADA) were studied as a function of pH in different buffers in both aqueous and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelle solutions. In aqueous Tris buffer solution, the forward and backward rate constants increased with increasing pH, while the complex-formation constant decreased...

lead, copper, cobalt, nickel, iron and zinc ions form monocitrate complexes (negative charge) in citrate solution which is absorbed on the citrate form of anion-exchange resins (citrate as counter ion) y exchange of citrate ion with citrate complexes. these are subsequently recovered from the resin by 0.5m ammonium citrate eluent at ph 2.0. under optimized conditions, quantitative recovery was ...

A growth medium with a specific oxidation-reduction potential containing peptone, dextrose, sodium succinate, sodium lactate, gelatin, sodium bicarbonate and blue tetrazolium, an indicator dye, in a tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane buffer was used to detect the presence of microorganisms in blood. The procedure involved the introduction of blood (and bacteria) into the growth medium with the dye...
