Assessment of an iPad-based sperm motility analyzer for determination of canine sperm motility [PDF]
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the repeatability and accuracy of canine sperm motility (total and progressive) assessment with a tablet-based Canine iSperm instrument compared to computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA).

Signaling mechanisms in mammalian sperm motility [PDF]
Abstract The goal of sperm is to fertilize the oocyte. To achieve that purpose, it must acquire motility in the epididymis and hyperactivated motility in the female reproductive tract. Motility is only achieved when the sperm presents a fully functional flagellum, is capable of producing energy to fuel the movement, and suffers ...

Within 40 s the Sperm Quality Analyzer (United Medical Systems, Santa Ana, CA, USA) provides a numerical value called the sperm motility index. This index reflects both the concentration of motile sperm cells and the intensity of their motility and cannot be determined by conventional semen analysis.

Size dependent inhibition of sperm motility by copper particles as a path towards reversible male contraception [PDF]
Effective inhibition of sperm motility using a spermicide can be a promising approach in developing non-invasive male contraceptive agents. Copper is known to have contraceptive properties and has been used clinically for decades as intrauterine ...

Assessing coral sperm motility [PDF]
AbstractThe declining reproductive viability of corals threatens their ability to adapt to changing ocean conditions. It is vital that we monitor this viability quantitatively and comparatively. Computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) systems offer in-depth analysis used regularly for domestic and wildlife species, but not yet for coral.

Cryopreservation of common carp sperm [PDF]
Experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of five extenders (sucrose, glucose, fructose, KCl and a saline carp sperm extender) and two cryoprotectants (dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO) and methanol) on the cryopreservation of common carp sperm ...

Computational Modelling of Sperm Behaviour in a 3D Virtual Oviduct [PDF]
The processes by which individual sperm cells navigate the length and complexity of the female reproductive tract and then reach and fertilise the oocyte are fascinating. Numerous complex processes potentially influence the movement of spermatozoa within

Plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase 4 is required for sperm motility and male fertility [PDF]
Calcium and Ca(2+)-dependent signals play a crucial role in sperm motility and mammalian fertilization, but the molecules and mechanisms underlying these Ca(2+)-dependent pathways are incompletely understood. Here we show that homozygous male mice with a
