In the past years a series of functional assays has been developed to determine the
structural, morphological and functional integrity of the plasma membrane and sperm …

Due to the similarity of plasma membrane changes induced by capacitation and
cryopreservation, the parameters describing sperm response to capacitating conditions can …

Osmotic stress is an important factor that can result in cell damage during cryopreservation.
The objectives of this study were to determine:(1) isosmotic sperm cell volume;(2) …

Many theories have been postulated concerning the possible effects of cryopreservation on
spermatozoa, including suggestions the freeze–thawing process produces membranes that …

The primary objective of this study was to assess plasma membrane characteristics and
activation of signal transduction pathways in equine spermatozoa during both in vitro …

The objective of this investigation was to examine the nature of freeze/thaw-induced plasma
membrane damage in an effort to validate hypotheses about cryoinjury in ram spermatozoa …

The permeability of murine cauda epididymidal spermatozoa was determined from the
swelling caused by penetrating agents at isotonicity, which lies between 422 and 530 …

The aim of this study was to determine how different membrane-permeable and-
impermeable cryoprotective agents modulate tolerance of stallion sperm to osmotic stress …

Successful cryopreservation requires cells to tolerate volume excursions experienced during
permeating cryoprotectant equilibration and during cooling and warming. However, prior …

Semen cryopreservation is an important procedure in the treatment of human infertility.
However, the ability of spermatozoa to survive freeze/thaw processes varies between …
