This study aimed at determining the physico-morphological attributes, in vitrofertilityand their interrelationships in semen of Sahiwal bulls. Semen samples werecollected weekly for 6 weeks from ten mature Sahiwal bulls divided randomly into 5 groups. The mean (±SEM) of ejaculate volume (mL), mass activity (score 0-5), progressive sperm motility (%), sperm concentration (106/mL), live sperm (%)...

Abstract Background A variety of anthropogenic stressors influences the ecological status rivers wordwide. Important include elevated concentrations nutrients, salt ions, heavy metals and other pollutants, habitat degradation flow alteration. Some tend to remain underrepresented in multiple-stressor studies, which particular is apparent for micropollutants (e.g. pesticides, pharmaceuticals) alt...

The present investigation was undertaken on four mature Gir bulls (4-6 years) maintained at University farm, Junagadh for 4 months during hot summer season. Semen (n=6 ejaculate/bull) collected using artificial vagina once a week from each bull. fresh ejaculates were evaluated physical attributes and oxidative stress markers in the seminal plasma. overall mean values recorded based 24 ejaculate...

This study concerns the synthesis of gel materials based on carbon nanotubes dispersed strontium-modified hydroxyapatite (Sr-HA) at different compositions obtained by sol-gel technology and their influence on human-bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Furthermore, an evaluation of the influence of nanotubes and Strontium on physico-chemical, morphological, rheological and biological prop...
