Comparison of the effect of different media on the clinical outcomes of the density-gradient centrifugation/swim-up and swim-up methods. [PDF]
Clin Exp Reprod Med, 2015 Sperm must be properly prepared in in vitro fertilization (IVF)-embryo transfer (ET) programs in order to control the fertilization rate and ensure that embryos are of high quality and have appropriate developmental abilities. The objective of this study was to determine the most optimal sperm preparation method for IVF.Patients less than 40 years of ...

Zebrafish sox2 Is Required for the Swim Bladder Inflation by Controlling the Swim-Up Behavior. [PDF]
Zebrafish, 2023 The swim bladder functions to maintain the fish balance at a certain position under water. Although the motoneuron-dependent swim-up behavior is important for swim bladder inflation, the underlying molecular mechanism remains largely unknown.

Action of swim-up and caffeine on equine frozen sperm. [PDF]
Anim Reprod, 2022 Cryopreservation of equine semen is crucial to semen commercialization. However, it reduces sperm motility and longevity. Thus, sperm selection methods and addition of motility-activating substances to sperm, such as caffeine, may improve sperm quality of equine frozen semen.
