Seminal plasma (SP), the non-cellular component of semen, is a heterogeneous composite
fluid built by secretions of the testis, the epididymis and the accessory sexual glands. Its …

Oxidative stress occurs when the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) overcome the
antioxidant defenses of the organism, jeopardizing several biological functions, including …

Cooled preservation of semen is usually associated with artificial insemination and genetic
improvement programs in livestock species. Several studies have reported an increase in …

Mammalian sperm is highly susceptible to the reactive oxygen species (ROS) stress caused
by biochemical and physical modifications during the cryopreservation process. 5′ AMP …

Full identification of boar seminal plasma (SP) proteins remains challenging. This study aims
to provide an extensive proteomic analysis of boar SP and to generate an accessible …

Boar ejaculates are ejected in fractions with a specific composition in terms of sperm
numbers and seminal plasma (SP), which is reflected in the varying sperm cryotolerance …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress (OS), the imbalance between the
production of free radicals and the cellular antioxidant defenses, are discussed in relation to …

Contents In the pork industry, artificial insemination and the storage of boar semen in liquid
at 17° C are routinely applied to optimize the ejaculate and bring about rapid genetic …

Mating or cervical deposition of spermatozoa or seminal plasma (SP) modifies the
expression of genes affecting local immune defense processes at the oviductal sperm …

Background The analysis of chromatin integrity has become an important determinant of
sperm quality. In frozen-thawed bovine sperm, neither the sequence of post-thaw injury …
