The mammalian oviduct is the place where life begins as it is the site of fertilization and
preimplantation embryo development. Recent research has highlighted the important role …

Computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA) is now routinely used in IVF clinics, animal
breeding centres and research laboratories. Although CASA provides a more objective way …

Full identification of boar seminal plasma (SP) proteins remains challenging. This study aims
to provide an extensive proteomic analysis of boar SP and to generate an accessible …

The presence of melatonin receptors on the surface of ram spermatozoa has led to
speculation about melatonin having a role in sperm functionality. The aim of this study was …

Background Capacitation, a prerequisite for oocyte fertilization, is a complex process
involving series of structural and functional changes in sperms such as membrane …

Adding cryopreservation media with reduced glutathione (GSH) has previously been shown
to maintain the motility, membrane integrity and fertilizing ability of frozen-thawed boar …

This work aimed to investigate how stimulation of donkey sperm with red LED light affects
mitochondrial function. For this purpose, freshly diluted donkey semen was stimulated with …

Any physiological mechanism involved in sperm selection and semen improvement has
effects on heterogeneous sperm populations. This is mainly due to the fact that sperm …

Although seminal plasma is essential to maintain sperm integrity and function, it is
diluted/removed prior to liquid storage and cryopreservation in most mammalian species …
