Male sperm storage impairs sperm quality in the zebrafish [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Variation in sperm traits is widely documented both at inter- and intraspecific level. However, sperm traits vary also between ejaculates of the same male, due for example, to fluctuations in female availability.

Sperm competition, sperm numbers and sperm quality in muroid rodents. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Sperm competition favors increases in relative testes mass and production efficiency, and changes in sperm phenotype that result in faster swimming speeds. However, little is known about its effects on traits that contribute to determine the quality of a

Restoring Sperm Quality Post-Cryopreservation Using Mitochondrial-Targeted Compounds
Antioxidants, 2022 While critical for male fertility preservation, cryopreservation damage reduces sperm quality and fertilization potential. This study investigated whether the addition of mitochondrial-targeted, antioxidant compounds, also known as Mitochondrial ...

Evaluation of sperm fertilizing ability using the Sperm Quality Analyzer [PDF]
Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 1997 The Sperm Quality Analyzer is an inexpensive device which provides a quantitative estimation of sperm motility. To evaluate the fertilizing ability of human spermatozoa using a Sperm Quality Analyzer, correlations amongst the sperm motility index, the sperm penetration index (as assessed using the sperm penetration assay; SPA), and the fertilization ...

Effect of L-carnitine on sperm quality during liquid storage of boar semen [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2020 Objective This study was conducted to investigate the effect of L-carnitine on the pig semen characteristics during storage. Methods Spermatozoa samples were examined for spermatozoa quality and then randomly divided into 5 groups: 0 (control), 12.5, 25,

Sperm telomere length as a parameter of sperm quality in normozoospermic men [PDF]
Human Reproduction, 2016 Could sperm telomere length (STL) represent a novel parameter and biomarker of sperm quality?STL is associated with standard semen quality parameters and, more importantly, it is significantly associated with levels of DNA fragmentation and sperm protamination.Telomeres are fundamental for genome integrity.

Sperm competition selects for sperm quantity and quality in the Australian Maluridae.
PLoS ONE, 2011 When ejaculates from rival males compete for fertilization, there is strong selection for sperm traits that enhance fertilization success. Sperm quantity is one such trait, and numerous studies have demonstrated a positive association between sperm ...
