Abstract

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a chemically defined compound in egg yolk (EY)-free extender by determining the appropriate concentration of PVA and the effect of pH adjustment in EY-free PVA extenders on dog spermatozoa. Spermatozoa (1 × 108  cells/ml) were frozen with EY-free extenders supplemented with 0 (control), 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 or 0.3 g/100 ml PVA. Sperm progressive motility (PM) was assessed immediately after thawing (IAT) and post-thaw incubation (PTI), while viability, acrosome integrity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were evaluated after PTI. Additionally, spermatozoa were frozen using EY-free PVA extenders before pH adjustment (6.45) and after adjustment of pH (6.85). Viability, PM, ROS and gene expression (BCL2 and SMCP) were assessed. Supplementation with 0.05 g/100 ml or more PVA significantly increased PM compared to the control group in the IAT and PTI. Post-thaw incubation significantly increased sperm motility in all groups. The acrosome integrity in all PVA groups was higher (p < .05) than the control without an effect on ROS and viability. Adjustment of the pH to 6.85 improved (p < .05) sperm PM compared to the non-adjusted groups wit...Continue Reading

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.
