The present study evaluated the accuracy of four methods, ie eosin-nigrosin, trypan blue,
hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST) and Hoechst 33342 (H342)/propidium iodide (PI) for …

Objective:[1] To examine the relationship between sperm membrane integrity and motion
parameters before and after cryopreservation;[2] to determine the capacity of the membrane …

Cryopreservation induces extensive biophysical and biochemical changes in the sperm. In
the present study, we used flow cytometry to assess the capacitation-like status of frozen …

The hypoosmotic swelling test (HOST) has proved to be a good tool for evaluating the
membrane integrity of spermatozoa of various domestic animals including cattle, horses …

Abstract Normozoospermic semen samples (n= 82) were examined to investigate whether
the degree of sperm tail swelling in hypo-osmotic medium (fructose and sodium citrate; 150 …

A series of six experiments was conducted to determine the fundamental cryobiological
properties of boar spermatozoa to develop optimal approaches for cryopreserving this …

Sperm cryopreservation is one of the most important procedures in the development of
biotechnologies for assisted reproduction. In some farm animals, the use of cryopreserved …

The aim of the study was to evaluate equine sperm membrane integrity using the
hypoosmotic swelling (HOS) test and to correlate this test with different sperm parameters in …

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate whether the season of ejaculate
collection influences the freezability of porcine sperm. A total of 434 ejaculates were …

Despite the great progress achieved in the cryopreservation of boar semen, it has not been
