Seminal Plasma Proteins and Sperm Resistance to Stress

TL;DR: The addition of SP proteins to spermatozoa before and/or after cooling is able to minimize cryoinjury effects and the major proteins in ram SP which are able to protect and repair the cold-shock damage to sperm contain fibronectin-II domains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of equine seminal plasma proteins and their correlation with fertility

TL;DR: Analysis of stallion seminal plasma proteins can be used as an indicator of fertilizing capacity and could lead to better insight into the nature of subfertility or infertility in the horse, as well as to indicate better cryopreservation strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seminal plasma proteins as modulators of the sperm function and their application in sperm biotechnologies.

TL;DR: The current knowledge in the role of the major SP proteins as modulators of sperm functionality is reviewed and the possible applications of the SP proteins in sperm cryopreservation and flow cytometric sex-sorting are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Secular trend in reported sperm counts.

TL;DR: Es ist nicht diskutiert, daß die Unterschiede zwischen den Mittelwerten der verschiedenen Stichproben statistisch signifikant sind: Was zur Debatte steht, ist ob ein kontinuierlicher Rückgang über einen längeren Zeitraum hierfür verantwortlich zu machen ist.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conserved ram seminal plasma proteins bind to the sperm membrane and repair cryopreservation damage

TL;DR: It is concluded that SP proteins that bound to the sperm membrane were conserved among ram breeds, and that when added to frozen/thawed semen (along with an energy source), they repaired ram sperm damage and enhanced sperm motility.
