Small and Large Seminal Extracellular Vesicles Differentially Modulate Capacitation‐Related Parameters in Frozen–Thawed Porcine Epididymal Spermatozoa

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Seminal extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have been proposed as modulators of sperm function, but their exact role remains unclear. Most studies use ejaculated sperm for clarification. This approach has limitations; nevertheless, as ejaculated sperm have already been exposed to their own native sEVs, which hinders the assessment of their specific ...

Cryopreservation Induces Acetylation of Metabolism-Related Proteins in Boar Sperm

, 2023
Cryodamage affects the normal physiological functions and survivability of boar sperm during cryopreservation. Lysine acetylation is thought to be an important regulatory mechanism in sperm functions.

Effects of Turine and Vitamin E on Sperm Viability, Membrane Integrity and Mitochondrial Activity damaged by Bromopropane in Fresh Boar Semen

Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2016
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of taurine and vitamin E on sperm characteristics damaged by bromopropane (BP) in pig. We evaluated toxicity of BP on viability, membrane integrity and mitochondrial activity of spermatozoa. 1-BP (0, 2.

Restoration of Motility in Acrosome‐Reacted Boar Spermatozoa Induced by the Ionophore 4‐Br‐A23187

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The acrosome reaction (AR) is a calcium‐dependent exocytotic event required for successful fertilization. Calcium ionophores are commonly used to induce AR in vitro; however, this treatment is associated with a significant loss of sperm motility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the recovery of motility in boar spermatozoa after ionophore‐

Nanoliposome‐Mediated Delivery of Lipophilic Antioxidants as a Strategy to Improve the Preservation Capacity of Pig Semen at 17°C

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
ABSTRACT While lipophilic antioxidants such as flavonols may improve the preservation capacity of sperm at 17°C, their low stability and bioavailability can reduce their biological effectiveness. Encapsulation strategies have been proposed to improve the delivery and cellular availability of hydrophobic antioxidants.

Frozen Boar Semen Can Be Successfully Stored at −80°C, Reducing Need for LN2 Storage Containers

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study explores alternative freezing approaches aimed at reducing or avoiding the use of liquid nitrogen (LN2) to store boar semen. Sperm‐rich fractions from three boars were pooled and frozen in 0.25‐ and 0.5‐mL straws using four different protocols: a conventional method (Control; LN2 vapours followed by immersion and storage in LN2 ...

Comparative Susceptibility of Donkey and Horse Sperm to Liquid‐Storage Temperature

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Preservation protocols for donkey sperm are based on those developed for horses, despite potential interspecific differences in cooling tolerance. This study compared horse and donkey sperm during long‐term storage at 5°C and 17°C. Ejaculates from four stallions and four jacks (n = 16) were centrifuged, resuspended in skimmed milk‐based ...

Sperm Recovery and Evaluation in Domestic Species: Challenges and Current Practices

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Semen collection is a key step in the development of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) in domestic mammals, as the collection method determines the functionality and fertility of the sperm. The artificial vagina or manual collection yields ejaculates similar to those obtained during natural mating, although they require prior training ...

Effect of Different Equilibration Times in the Freezing Process on Post‐Thaw Motility Parameters in Equine Spermatozoa

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cryopreservation of stallion semen remains suboptimal, with approximately one‐third of stallions producing semen that is poorly tolerant to freezing. As optimization of pre‐freezing procedures may improve post‐thaw sperm quality, this study evaluated the effect of different equilibration times before freezing on the post‐thaw quality of ...
