Journal ArticleDOI
Involvement of cholesterol, calcium and progesterone in the induction of capacitation and acrosome reaction of mammalian spermatozoa.
TL;DR: The effects of some important substances involved in the induction of sperm plasma membrane changes referred to as acrosome reaction, namely cholesterol, calcium and progesterone are reviewed, to get a better insight into possible beneficial and detrimental effects on sperm function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytokines during early pregnancy of mammals: a review.
TL;DR: The function of cytokines during early pregnancy of mammals including the human species is reviewed, and differences between laboratory rodents, carnivores, artiodactyls, horses and human beings elucidated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of a new computer-assisted sperm analyzer for the assessment of motility and viability of dog spermatozoa and evaluation of four different semen extenders for predilution.
TL;DR: SpermVision proved to be an accurate analyzer for the objective assessment of both motility and viability of canine spermatozoa and TRIS and PROST were the media with the lowest influences on parameters of canine semen and are therefore recommendable for the use in SpermVision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of semen extender and semen processing on motility and viability of frozen-thawed dog spermatozoa
TL;DR: Post-thaw longevity and progressive motility were significantly improved by the use of the here introduced freezing curve, and this was shown to be partly caused by less pronounced fluctuations of temperature inside the straws when compared to box-freezing.
Journal ArticleDOI
