Cryopreservation has facilitated advancement of biological research by allowing the storage
of cells over prolonged periods of time. While cryopreservation at extremely low …

Cryopreservation of spermatozoa is becoming more important because of new clinical
requirements and current clinical practice. Despite the success of sperm cryopreservation …

Oxidative stress occurs when the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) overcome the
antioxidant defenses of the organism, jeopardizing several biological functions, including …

This review summarizes current research in sperm mitochondrial function with specific
emphasis on mitochondrial metabolism, reactive oxygen species production and …

Contents Native sperm is only marginally stable after collection. Cryopreservation of semen
facilitates transport and storage for later use in artificial reproduction technologies, but …

During cryopreservation, dilution in the extender media reduces the seminal plasma
constituents being cells more vulnerable to oxidative stress. Vitamins (C and E) and the …

In spite of the optimisation of cryopreservation protocols, post-thawing trauma to mammalian
gametes cannot be completely avoided. Based on recent literature, cellular cryodamage in …

Lipid peroxidation (LPO) of stallion spermatozoa was assessed in fresh semen and in
samples of the same ejaculates after freezing and thawing. Particular attention was paid to …

In recent years, the possibility of increasing the low cryoresistance of sturgeon sperm by
using antioxidants in basic cryoprotective media has been studied. The goal of this work was …

Recently, we showed that synthetic anion transporters DSC4P-1 and SA-3 had activity
related to cancer cell death. They were found to increase intracellular chloride and sodium …
