The purpose of this study was to examine if selecting a sperm population with improved motion characteristics before freezing reduces the deleterious effects of cryopreservation. Semen specimens from 15 normal donors were divided into two equal aliquots. The first aliquot received no treatment (control), and the second was processed by swim-up from a washed sperm preparation to select a sperm p...

A key feature of cell migration is how cell movement is affected by cell-cell interactions. Furthermore, many cell migratory processes such as neural crest stem cell migration [Thomas and Erickson, 2008; McLennan et al., 2012] occur on growing domains or in the presence of a chemoattractant. Therefore, it is important to study interactions between migrating cells in the context of domain growth...

Background: Semen cryopreservation is the most important section of artificial insemination programs; it allows preservation of semen fertility for a long time. Materials and Methods: The aim of the present study was to detect the effect of in vitro supplementation of 4-hydroxy Tempo on fresh and frozen spermatozoa quality of buffalo bulls. Five healthy buffalo bulls (5 ejaculates from each bul...

Semen characteristics were studied among 200 fertile Pakistani men aged 24 to 48 years. Each subject had fathered at least two children. The mean +/- SD values of volume, sperm density, motility percentage, grade of motility and percentage of oval sperms were 3.11 +/- 1.2 ml, 58.21 +/- 26.41 million/ml, 61.2 +/- 21.3%, 3.01 +/- 0.94 and 70.2 +/- 15.36% respectively. There was no deteriorating e...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of co-Q10 and ellagic acid on sperm parameters after the freeze–thawing of Ghezel ram sperm. Twenty ejaculates from five Ghezel rams were collected in this study. Semen samples, which were diluted with a soybean lecithin (SL) based extender containing 0.25 mM ellagic acid, 0.5 μM co-Q10, 0.25 mM ellagic acid + 0.5 μM co-Q10 and no antioxidant (...

Aim: Present investigation was carried out to study the physical characteristics of Kankrej bulls semen by evaluation of various semen parameters from neat semen and at various stages of semen preservation. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 ejaculates, 10 each from 6 mature Kankrej bulls, once in a week for 10 weeks, were collected and analyzed for various semen attributes. Result: The mean ...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of d-aspartic acid on semen characteristics of ross 308 roosters. thirty 60-wk-old ross 308 roosters were randomly assigned into 6 groups and individually caged. all groups fed the same basal diet and orally administered with different levels of d-aspartic acid: 0(a-0), 40 (a-40), 80 (a-80), 120 (a-120), 160 (a-160), and 200 (a-200) mg/kg bw per ...

Aim: Although nonspecific esophageal motility disorder(NEMD) is the most common diagnosis in manometry, unlike other primary disorders, it least known and studied disorder literature. Studies with a small number of patient groups have been reported The aim this study to share demographic clinical characteristics single center high-volume NEMD patients we followed up. 
 Material Method: was...
