The study aimed at the analysis of the functional status of cryopreserved bovine sperm using
multicolor flow cytometry. The value of sperm functional traits as predictors of bull fertility was …

Proteomic approaches have been widely used in reproductive studies to uncover protein
biomarkers of bull fertility. Seminal plasma is one of the most relevant sources of these …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of carnitine supplementation of semen
extender on fertility parameters of frozen-thawed buffalo sperm. Buffalo semen was …

Seminal plasma is a dynamic, intricate combination of fluids from the testicles, epididymides,
seminal vesicles, bulbourethral glands, and prostate, containing molecules that modulate …

Our goal was to investigate heparin‐induced capacitation of frozen‐thawed yak sperm and
to assess the effects of caffeine or ouabain supplementation with heparin on sperm …

In most mammals the peptide hormone relaxin is a key physiological component regulating
early pregnancy and birth. However, synteny analysis shows that the gene encoding ovarian …

Regulation of Sertoli cell number is a key event to determine normal spermatogenesis. We
have previously shown that relaxin and its G-protein coupled receptor RXFP1 are expressed …

Cryopreservation is partially damaging and induces capacitation-like changes in
spermatozoa. Seminal plasma (SP) contains a variety of biochemical components, such as …

This study investigated the beneficial effects of relaxin on cryotolerance of buffalo
spermatozoa and reproductive hormones during low breeding season. Collected semen …

This study aimed to improve the quality of cryopreserved beef bull (Piedmontese) semen by
incorporation of relaxin in diluted semen before cryopreservation procedures. Semen …
