Effect of single layer centrifugation using Androcoll-E-Large on the sperm quality parameters of cooled-stored donkey semen doses [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of single layer centrifugation (SLC) using Androcoll-E-Large on donkey sperm quality parameters after 24 h of cool-storage. Ejaculates were collected from Andalusian donkeys and then cooled at 5°C.

DNA fragmentation index (DFI) as a measure of sperm quality and fertility in mice. [PDF]
Although thousands of genetically modified mouse strains have been cryopreserved by sperm freezing, the likelihood of cryorecovery success cannot be accurately predicted using conventional sperm parameters.

EBV induced loss of sperm quality
To analyze the presence of Epstein-Barr-virus (EBV) in sperm samples from patients diagnosed with some impairment of the fertility parameters evaluated using seminogram and to observe if there is any difference with the normozoospermic samples. We hypothesize that an EBV infection is responsible for the upregulation of the miRNA 199-3p, which binds to ...

Restoring Sperm Quality Post-Cryopreservation Using Mitochondrial-Targeted Compounds
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 ...
