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 ...

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

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.

Effect of Uncoated Magnetic Nanoparticles on Stallion Sperm Parameters: Influence of Semen Quality
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of uncoated, non‐functionalised magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) on stallion sperm and to determine whether these effects depend on initial semen quality. Ten cooled ejaculates from 3 stallions were exposed to different MNP concentrations ([MNPs] = 0, 5, 25, and 50 mg/mL), agitated, and exposed to ...

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