The Comparison of Efficiency of Density Gradient Centrifugation and Zeta Methods in Separation of Mature Sperm with Normal Chromatin Structure [PDF]

open access: yesCell Journal, 2009
Objective: To examine the efficiency of both the Zeta and density gradient centrifugation(DGC) methods for the selection of normal chromatin sperm by TUNEL, sperm chromatindispersion (SCD), acridine orange and chromomycin A3 (CMA3).Materials and Methods:

Sperm competition: linking form to function

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background Using information from physics, biomechanics and evolutionary biology, we explore the implications of physical constraints on sperm performance, and review empirical evidence for links between sperm length and sperm competition (where two or ...

Selection against spermatozoa with fragmented DNA after postovulatory mating depends on the type of damage

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2010
Background Before ovulation, sperm-oviduct interaction mechanisms may act as checkpoint for the selection of fertilizing spermatozoa in mammals. Postovulatory mating does not allow the sperm to attach to the oviduct, and spermatozoa may only undergo some

SPERM QUALITY IN RATS PREDISPOSED TO THE MANIFESTATION OF CATATONIC REACTIONS

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2018
Catatonia is a psychopathological syndrome displayed as a motor disorder. Catatonia is a sign of many menthal disorders, particularly schizophrenia and depression, with a wide disrtibution in the human population.

Sperm morphology, swimming velocity, and longevity in the house sparrow Passer domesticus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Sperm competition exerts strong selection on males to produce spermatozoa with an optimal morphology that maximizes their fertilization success. Long sperm were first suggested to be favored because they should swim faster.

Effect of microfluidic and density gradient techniques to select frozen-thawed epididymal sperm from Bighorn rams

open access: yesTheriogenology Wild
Gamete preservation of wild species is a priority in conservation programs. However, field techniques to recover sperm from deceased animals may impair its final quality.The cryopreservation process also has its challenges, and the minimal required ...

Wild yellow dung fly females may not select sperm based on dung pat microclimate but could nevertheless benefit from polyandry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Molecular techniques have substantially improved our knowledge of postcopulatory sexual selection. Nevertheless, studies examining sperm utilization in natural populations of nonsocial insects are rare, support for sperm selection (biased use of stored ...

Genetic Selection Approach for Semen Characteristics in Thai Native Grandparent Roosters (Pradu Hang Dum) Using Random Regression Test-Day Models and Selection Indices

open access: yesAnimals
The aim of this study was to analyze suitable genetic models and selection indices to estimate the genetic parameters and breeding values of native Thai roosters. A total of 3475 records of seven semen traits (mass movement, semen pH, semen color, volume,
