TL;DR: A positive role of glucose in the improvement of sperm cryopreservation in farmed greenlip abalone is demonstrated, showing that the addition of glucose could significantly improve the sperm plasma membrane integrity and mitochondrial membrane potential.

TL;DR: The fluorescent evaluation has demonstrated that the addition of glycine significantly improved the post-thaw sperm acrosome integrity, revealing a positive role of glycines in the improvement of post- thaw sperm quality in blue mussels.

TL;DR: Investigation on monosaccharides demonstrated that glucose, fructose and galactose had a similar cryoprotective effect, resulting in a similar level of the post-thaw sperm fertilization rate, plasma membrane integrity, mitochondrial membrane potential and acrosome integrity.

TL;DR: This study developed a technique of sperm cryopreservation using liquid nitrogen (LN) vapour in farmed blacklip abalone Haliotis rubra through evaluating the following five key factors: cryoprotectant agent (CPA) toxicity; cooling temperature; thawing temperature; sperm to egg ratio and sugar addition, using sperm motility or fertilization rate as quality assessment indicators.

TL;DR: This study investigated factors key to the development of sperm cryopreservation in the greenlip abalone Haliotis laevigata using a programmable freezing technique, using sperm motility, fertilization rate, plasma membrane integrity, mitochondrial membrane potential or acrosome integrity as quality assessment indicators.
