Journal ArticleDOI
Supplementing cryopreservation media with reduced glutathione increases fertility and prolificacy of sows inseminated with frozen-thawed boar semen.
TL;DR: It is concluded that supplementing freezing media with 2 mm GSH greatly improves boar sperm cryopreservation technology, as it significantly improves the fertilizing ability of frozen‐thawed spermatozoa.
Journal ArticleDOI
A RNA-seq analysis to describe the boar sperm transcriptome and its seasonal changes
Marta Gòdia,Molly Estill,Anna Castelló,Anna Castelló,Sam Balasch,Joan E. Rodríguez-Gil,Stephen A. Krawetz,Armand Sánchez,Armand Sánchez,Alex Clop +9 more
TL;DR: This is the deepest characterization of the boar sperm transcriptome and the first study linking the transcriptomes of ejaculated spermatozoa and the seasonal variability of semen quality in animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific LED-based red light photo-stimulation procedures improve overall sperm function and reproductive performance of boar ejaculates
Marc Yeste,Francesc Codony,Efrén Estrada,Miquel Lleonart,Sam Balasch,A Peña,Sergi Bonet,Joan E. Rodríguez-Gil +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that a precise photo-stimulation procedure is able to increase the fertilising ability of boar sperm via a mechanism that could be related to mitochondrial function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of circular RNAs in porcine sperm and evaluation of their relation to sperm motility.
Marta Gòdia,Anna Castelló,Anna Castelló,Martina Rocco,Martina Rocco,Betlem Cabrera,Betlem Cabrera,Joan E. Rodríguez-Gil,Sam Balasch,Craig R. Lewis,Armand Sánchez,Armand Sánchez,Alex Clop +12 more
TL;DR: This study provides a thorough characterization of circ RNAs in sperm and suggests that circRNAs hold potential as noninvasive biomarkers for sperm quality and male fertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of filtration through Sephadex columns improve overall quality parameters and "in vivo" fertility of subfertile refrigerated boar-semen.
TL;DR: It is indicated that filtration through ionically inert, Sephadex chromatographic resins could be a very useful and practical method to improve both boar-semen quality and fertilizing ability, especially from mediocre and/or subfertile samples.
