Binding of pig sperm receptor in the zona pellucida to the boar sperm acrosome [PDF]

Reproduction, 1995
Abstract Pig zona pellucida (ZP) contains three families of glycoproteins: PZP2, PZP3α and PZP3β. PZP3α mediates the binding of the ZP to spermatozoa. In this study, the binding site of pig ZP on boar spermatozoa and the zona-binding proteins of boar spermatozoa were studied using chemically modified zona glycoproteins or anti-pig ZP ...

CHARACTERISTIC OF FROZEN-THAWED EPIDIDYMAL SPERMATOZOA AND REFRIGERATED STORAGE OF RAM SPERMATOZOA [PDF]

, 2010
Post-mortem spermatozoa recovery is an important technique for obtaining germplasm reserves from genetically valuable animals or endangered species. The purpose of this study was to study whether ram spermatozoa within epididymides stored at 4º C for ...

Comparing the efficacy of dextrose, mannitol, and saline solutions in male rabbits' chemical castration

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 4, Page 845-850, April 2026.
Our study demonstrated that a single bilateral intra‐testicular injection of 50% dextrose (Group A) and 20% mannitol (Group B) solutions cannot serve as chemical sterilizing agents in male rabbits. However, intra‐testicular injection of 0.9% saline (Group C) significantly reduced the seminiferous tubule quality (STQ), seminiferous tubule maturity (STM),

A century of vitamin E research: The innovative journey from basic biology to synthetic bio‐manufacturing

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 985-1012, April 2026.
For a century, Vitamin E has been studied for its health benefits. This review traces its journey from basic biological discovery, and the recent identification of its link to chlorophyll degradation, to the modern era of sustainable microbial manufacturing, highlighting the innovative technologies that define its future production.

Meta‐GWAS of Pig Semen Quality Traits Reveals Conserved Genes Regulating Mammalian Fertility

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
This study incorporated 14 210 individuals to perform a GWAS meta‐analysis of six semen quality traits. The GWAS meta‐analysis identifies 234 GWAS loci associated with semen quality traits. The incorporation with a functional genomics resource explains potential genetic regulation of ∼40% GWAS signals underlying semen quality traits.

The Impact of Different Equilibration Methods on the Cryopreservation Effectiveness of Boar Semen

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
This study compared the effects of one‐step and two‐step balanced treatment methods for cryopreservation of boar semen and evaluated their impact on sperm quality after thawing. The optimized balanced treatment method improved sperm integrity and antioxidant capacity, and reduced apoptosis and oxidative damage. These findings provide practical guidance

Reproductive management in pigs: emphasis on the different roles of the boar and on optimal insemination management

, 2009
Boars have different roles in the reproductive management in pigs. Boar contact can stimulate follicle development and thereby induce oestrus, both in gilts and sows.

miR-26a is Involved in Glycometabolism and Affects Boar Sperm Viability by Targeting PDHX

Cells, 2020
miR-26a is associated with sperm metabolism and can affect sperm motility and apoptosis. However, how miR-26a affects sperm motility remains largely unknown. Our previous study indicated that the PDHX gene is predicted to be a potential target of miR-26a,

Lactate inhibits glucose‐induced zigzag motility and enhances linear motility in bull spermatozoa by suppressing glycolysis

Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 933-945, March 2026.
Abstract Background Energy metabolism and substrate balance are critical determinants of sperm motility and fertility. Linear motility is necessary for sperm forward movement, whereas hyperactivated motility is a prerequisite for fertilization. The preference of metabolic pathways depends on substrate availability which controls sperm motility. However,
