Oxidative stress is an important component of the cytopathology of equine spermatozoa
undergoing storage as liquid or frozen semen. Damage to chromatin, membranes and …

Contents Sperm cryopreservation facilitates the storage and transport of germplasm for its
use in artificial insemination (AI) and other advanced reproductive technologies. The …

The relationship between stallion fertility and oxidative stress remains poorly understood.
The purpose of this study was to identify criteria for thoroughbred fertility assessment by …

Free radicals are known to be involved in lipid peroxidation as well as DNA and sperm
membrane damages that may lead to decreased sperm motility or cell death. The balance …

In vitro sperm storage is a necessary part of many artificial insemination or in vitro
fertilization regimes for many species, including the human and the horse. In many situations …

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 …

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is associated
with an impaired fertilization ability of spermatozoa. We investigated the effects of adding …

The mixed success of equine artificial insemination programs using chilled and frozen-
thawed semen is most likely associated with the variable response of the sperm cell to the …

The comet assay has become one of the methods of choice for the evaluation and
measurement of DNA damage. It is sensitive, quick to perform and relatively affordable for …

DNA integrity is considered an important parameter of semen quality and is of significant
value as a predictor of male fertility. Currently, there are several methods that can assess …
