Utilization of cauda epididymis spermatozoa has been carried out because these can be used in artificial insemination or vitro fertilization. The purpose this study was to obtain information on the quality which produced from Bali cattle at different ages. samples came 31 slaughterhouses. Information and identification age based structure incisors. Observations were made variables motility, con...

introduction: to evaluate the quick cryopreservation technique on parameters of motility, morphology, and vitality of spermatozoa from normozoospermic ejaculates. materials and methods: in this prospective study, a total of 37 normal ejaculates were evaluated according to who criteria, then each sample was divided into two aliquets and sample was cryopreserved with quick freezing method. sperm ...

Pentoxifylline (PF) is used to enhance motility of spermatozoa from infertile human subjects. We have previously shown that 0.45 mM PF improved capacitation of spermatozoa and fertilization of oocytes in vitro in hamsters. The present study was carried out to assess PF-induced changes in motility kinematics of hamster spermatozoa by a computer-aided sperm analyser (CASA) and determine the timin...

The effect of in-vitro culture on the motility and morphology of fresh and frozen-thawed human testicular spermatozoa obtained from obstructive azoospermic patients and on the motility of testicular spermatozoa obtained from non-obstructive azoospermic patients was evaluated. The outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with fresh and frozen-thawed human testicular spermatozoa was stu...


 Purpose: To investigate the in vitro effects of methanol leaf extract E. hirta (MLEEH) on motility, viability and morphology caprine spermatozoa.
 Methods: The effect MLEEH treatment (1.25, 2.5, 5, 10 20 mg per mL) sperm percentage total progressive abnormalities were evaluated at 1, 5 min post-treatment. Sperm revival test was used to evaluate reversibility incapacitation following...

background: intrauterine insemination (iui) is one of the therapeutic approaches for infertility. the objective of this study was to evaluate dna integrity and apoptosis role in success of iui in both mild male and female factor infertility. methods: patients were divided into two groups: m (mild male factor; n=29) and f (female factor; n=31) undergoing single iui. ejaculates were analyzed and ...

The serine/threonine phosphatase (PP1) isoform PP1γ2, predominantly expressed in the testis, is a key enzyme in spermatozoa. High PP1γ2 catalytic activity holds motility in check in immature spermatozoa. Inhibition of PP1γ2 causes motility initiation in immature spermatozoa and motility stimulation and changes in flagellar beat parameters in mature spermatozoa. The PP1γ2 isoform is present in a...

The Brown Norway rat provides a useful model to study aging of the male reproductive tract because of the selective age-dependent pathological changes that are found in the testis, epididymis, and prostate. In the testis, there is a clear age-dependent decrease in both steroidogenesis and spermatogenesis. In the epididymis, some striking segment-specific changes occur at the histological and bi...

The fertilizing capacity, motility and ultrastructure of fowl and turkey spermatozoa were examined at various stages of the freezing process. For both species, fertility and motility were depressed after equilibration with dimethyl-sulphoxide at 5 degrees C. After freezing, motility was maintained at 55% for fowl spermatozoa and 40% for turkey spermatozoa; however, fertility was 55% for the fow...
