In vitro evaluation of sperm quality
Animal Reproduction Science, 2008 This paper highlights selected laboratory analyses that are currently used to evaluate sperm, and describes why results from these assays do not consistently correlate with sperm fertility. Reasons for the disconnect between the two are due in part to the definition and reliability of the fertility data collected, to the complexity of the spermatozoon ...

Biology Open, 2020 Sperm fertilisation success depends on both intrinsic quality and the interactions with the surrounding reproductive fluids. In several fish species, these interactions have a variable effect on sperm performance.

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 mobility phenotype not determined by sperm quality index
Poultry Science, 2003 We tested the capacity of the AviMate sperm quality analyzer to predict sperm mobility phenotype. A preliminary experiment was performed to determine a sperm concentration that afforded maximal sperm quality index (SQI) values with sperm from males with high sperm mobility.

The impact of percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA) on sperm quality in mice
Reproduction and Fertility, 2023 In laboratory mice sperm quality is usually assessed in spermatozoa collected from the cauda epididymidis of freshly sacrificed males. Percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA) is a non-terminal alternative that would allow repeated sperm collection for sperm quality assessment in living males.

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 ...

Environment International, 2020 Semen quality is a vital determinant for male fertility. The process of spermatogenesis is highly sensitive to fluctuations in temperature. However, the impact of ambient temperature on semen quality remains unclear. We aimed to quantitatively assess the

Factors affecting sperm quality before and after mating of calopterygid damselflies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera) have a more complex sperm transfer system than other internally ejaculating insects. Males translocate sperm from the internal reproductive organs to the specific sperm vesicles, a small cavity on the body surface, and ...
