Journal ArticleDOI
Freezability prediction of boar ejaculates assessed by functional sperm parameters and sperm proteins.
TL;DR: Assessing both the conventional sperm quality parameters and the immunolabeling of three proteins involved in the physiology of the sperm cell suggest that analyzing these sperm kinematic parameters could be a useful tool for predicting the potential freezability of an ejaculate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Good and bad freezability boar ejaculates differ in the integrity of nucleoprotein structure after freeze-thawing but not in ROS levels
TL;DR: PFE are less resistant than GFE to cryopreservation not only in terms of sperm motility and membrane integrity, but also in the integrity of nucleoprotein structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
The HSP90AA1 sperm content and the prediction of the boar ejaculate freezability.
I Casas,Sílvia Sancho,Joan Ballester,M.D. Briz,Elisabeth Pinart,Eva Bussalleu,Marc Yeste,A Fabrega,Joan E. Rodríguez-Gil,S. Bonet +9 more
TL;DR: This last finding claims the introduction of tests based on molecular markers in spermatozoa to accurately predict the freezability of ejaculates in order to promote the use of frozen semen on artificial insemination programmes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of cryopreservation on semen quality and the expression of sperm membrane hexose transporters in the spermatozoa of Iberian pigs
Sílvia Sancho,I Casas,H. Ekwall,Fernando Saravia,Heriberto Rodriguez-Martinez,Joan E. Rodríguez-Gil,E. Flores,Elisabeth Pinart,M.D. Briz,N. Garcia-Gil,Judit Bassols,A. Pruneda,Eva Bussalleu,Marc Yeste,S. Bonet +14 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that cryopreservation affects the status of sperm cells of Iberian boars by altering the distribution of some membrane receptors and decreasing the percentage values of parameters linked to sperm quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a protocol for multiple staining with fluorochromes to assess the functional status of boar spermatozoa.
Eva Bussalleu,E Pinart,Marc Yeste,Mailo Briz,Sílvia Sancho,N. Garcia-Gil,E. Badia,Judit Bassols,A. Pruneda,I Casas,S. Bonet +10 more
TL;DR: A simple and reliable method for the simultaneous evaluation of the nucleus, the acrosome, and the mitochondrial sheath of boar spermatozoa using fluorochromes is designed, which provides reliable diagnostic information about the fertility potential of boars.
