为探讨荷斯坦牛和西门塔尔牛冻精的精液品质及体外受精后胚胎发育能力的差异,利用目测法、低渗膨胀法和考马斯亮蓝染色法评估了荷斯坦牛和西门塔尔牛冻精的活力、质膜完整率和顶体完整率,并比较了二者冻精体外受精后胚胎的卵裂率和囊胚率。结果表明,荷斯坦牛和西门塔尔牛冻精的活力(30.4%和27.2%)、质膜完整率(41.96%和36.22%)和顶体完整率(77.02%和73.02%)均无显著差异(P>0.05),但荷斯坦牛冻精体外受精后的卵裂率(57.5%和48.6%)和囊胚率(30.3%和23.2%)显著高于西门塔尔牛冻精(P<0.05)。提示,不同品种公牛精液体外受精后的发育能力有显著差异(P>0.05)。     

解冻稀释液中添加精浆对冻融猪精子品质的影响

【目的】 探究冷冻前添加热休克蛋白A8(heat shock protein A8, HSPA8)和解冻后添加不同浓度精浆(seminal plasma, SP)对冻融猪精子的影响。【方法】 采用手握法采集长白猪精液, 添加0.5 μg/mL HSPA8到猪精液冷冻保护剂中进行细管分装, 投入液氮中保存3周后进行解冻, 解冻后添加不同浓度精浆(0、10%、30%和50%), 对冻融后长白猪精子的运动能力、质膜完整性、顶体完整性、细胞凋亡、线粒体膜电位、鱼精蛋白缺乏及体外获能水平等进行评估。【结果】 与对照组相比(无HSPA8和精浆), 添加0.5 μg/mL HSPA8处理组(无精浆)的精子直线速度(VSL)、曲线速度(VCL)、平均路径速度(VAP)和前向性运动(STR)均显著提升(P<0.05), 精子直线性运动(LIN)和运动的摆动性(WOB)均无显著差异(P>0.05);精子质量参数中活力、质膜完整性和顶体完整性均显著升高(P<0.05), 细胞凋亡水平与线粒体膜电位均显著降低(P<0.05);精子鱼精蛋白缺失率显著降低(P<0.05);精子蛋白酪氨酸磷酸化水平显著提高(P<0.05)。之后在解冻液中添加不同浓度的精浆, 与添加0.5 μg/mL HSPA8处理组(无精浆)相比, 精浆添加量达到50%时, 精子VSL、VCL、VAP、LIN、STR和WOB均显著提升(P<0.05);精子活力、质膜完整性、顶体完整性和线粒体膜电位均显著提高(P<0.05), 细胞凋亡水平显著降低(P<0.05);精子鱼精蛋白缺失率显著降低(P<0.05);精子蛋白酪氨酸磷酸化水平显著提高(P<0.05)。【结论】 在冷冻基础液中添加0.5 μg/mL HSPA8和解冻稀释液中添加50%精浆联合使用可以有效改善冻融精子质量, 将会对猪精液的冷冻保存及商业化生产提供一定的参考。     

海藻糖对猪精液冷冻保存效果的影响

在传统的Tris-柠檬酸-葡萄糖稀释液基础上，分别添加25％、50％、75％、100％的海藻糖，研究不同浓度海藻糖对猪精液冷冻后精子质量的影响。结果表明，海藻糖相对于对照TCG稀释液能够显著改善和提高猪精液的冷冻效果，其最佳添加浓度为25％，冷冻-解冻后猪精子活力、活率、线粒体活性、质膜完整性以及顶体完整率均显著提高（P〈0．05），分别达到41．38％、46．34％、44．56％、43．51％和64．09％。海藻糖可以明显抑制精子获能，获能处理前精子获能率仅为3．68％，而获能处理后达到41．82％，有利于促进精子获能。精液稀释液中甘油的适宜添加浓度为2％，海藻糖只有与甘油共同作用，才能在冷冻-解冻过程更加有效地保护精子。猪精子活力、活率、线粒体活性、质膜完整率、顶体完整率等之间存在极显著的正相关关系（P〈0．01），而与获能处理前精子的获能率存在显著的负相关关系（P〈0．05）。     

Effect of Docosahexaenoic Acid on Quality of Cryopreserved Boar Semen in Different Breeds

During the cryopreservation process, the level of polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in the sperm plasma membrane decreases significantly because of lipid peroxidation, which may contribute to sperm loss quality (i.e. fertility) of frozen–thawed semen. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of supplementation of DHA (fish oil) in freezing extender II on frozen–thawed semen quality. Semen from 20 boars of proven motility and morphology, were used in this study. Boar semen was split into four groups, in which the lactose–egg yolk (LEY) extender used to resuspend the centrifuged sperm pellet was supplemented with various levels of fish oil to reach DHA level of 1X (group I, control, no added fish oil), 6X (group II), 12X (group III) and 18X (group IV). Semen solutions were frozen by using a controlled rate freezer. After cryopreservation, frozen semen was thawed and evaluated for progressive motility, viability by using SYBR‐14/Ethidiumhomodimer‐1 (EthD‐1) staining and acrosome integrity by using FITC‐PNA/EthD‐1 staining. There was a significantly higher (p < 0.001) percentage of progressive motility, viability and acrosome integrity in DHA (fish oil) supplemented groups than control group. Generally, there seemed to be a dose‐dependent effect of DHA, with the highest percentage of progressive motility, viability and acrosome integrity in group‐III. In conclusion, supplementation of the LEY extender with DHA by adding fish oil was effective for freezing boar semen as it resulted in higher post‐thaw plasma membrane integrity and progressive motility.     

谷氨酰胺替代部分甘油对冻融猪精子获能和体外受精能力的影响

本试验旨在探索用谷氨酰胺（Gln）替代部分甘油对冻融猪精子体外获能和受精能力的影响，试验分为6组：3%甘油对照组和5个处理组（Ⅰ~Ⅴ组：2%甘油＋谷氨酰胺（0、20、40、80和100 mmol/L））。对冻融松辽黑猪精子的精子活力、质膜完整性、顶体完整性、线粒体膜电位、鱼精蛋白水平、获能及体外受精等指标进行了检测。结果显示，用谷氨酰胺替代部分甘油均对冻融精子质量有一定的改善作用，改善的程度受谷氨酰胺浓度的影响。与对照组相比，Ⅰ组精子的质量参数均显著下降（P<0.05）；与Ⅰ组相比，Ⅱ组精子活力、顶体完整性和活率显著提高（P<0.05），Ⅲ组精子线粒体膜电位显著提高（P<0.05），Ⅴ组精子活力、质膜完整性、顶体完整性、活率和线粒体膜电位均显著提高（P<0.05）。说明用谷氨酰胺替代部分甘油对精子质量具有很大的影响，且当谷氨酰胺为100 mmol/L时可得到更高质量的精子，因此，后续试验使用浓度为100 mmol/L的谷氨酰胺进行研究。与对照组相比，2%甘油＋100 mmol/L谷氨酰胺处理组精子鱼精蛋白缺失率显著下降（P<0.05），精子获能无显著差异（P>0.05），但胚胎卵裂率显著提高（P<0.05）。综上所述，谷氨酰胺可作为一种新型冷冻保护剂替代部分甘油来提高猪精液的质量，并降低甘油对猪精液的毒性作用，为猪精液的冷冻保存及商业化生产提供技术支撑。     

抗冻蛋白对山羊精子冷冻保护效果的分析

本实验系统评价了抗冻蛋白Ⅲ(AFPⅢ)对山羊精子的冷冻保护效果。采用假阴道法采集6只云南黑山羊精液,离心洗涤去除精浆后和冷冻稀释液(0、0.1、1、10、100μg/m L AFPⅢ)混合,经4℃平衡、液氮气相预冻后直接投入液氮保存。解冻后检测精子活力、顶体、质膜以及早期凋亡等指标。同时采用透射电镜(TEM)观察冷冻对精子超微结构的影响。结果表明:与对照组相比,AFPⅢ并不能显著改善山羊解冻后精子活力、顶体完整性、质膜完整性和低渗耐受性(P0.05)。此外,AFPⅢ并不能抑制解冻后精子的磷脂酰丝氨酸(PS)外翻。电镜实验结果进一步证实,AFPⅢ并不能有效保护冷冻精子质膜。总之,本实验证实,AFPⅢ并不能降低山羊精子的冷冻损伤,相反其可能加重冷冻对精子质膜的损伤,其损伤机制尚需要进一步研究。     

The Effect of Trehalose Supplementation of INRA-82 Extender on Quality and Fertility of Cooled and Frozen-Thawed Stallion Spermatozoa

Stallion semen cryopreservation is often associated with poor post-thaw sperm quality. Sugars act as nonpermeating cryoprotectants. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the cryoprotective effect of trehalose on stallion sperm quality and field fertility rates subjected to cooling and freeze–thaw process. Semen samples were collected from six Arabian stallions, divided into five different treatments in a final concentration of 100 × 10⁶ sperm/mL by using INRA-82 extender containing 0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 mM of trehalose then subjected to both cold storage and cryopreservation. Sperm motility, acrosome, plasmatic membrane, and DNA integrity were analyzed, and 57 mares were used to evaluate the field fertility of chilled and frozen-thawed semen. Results showed that the extender containing 100 mM trehalose only increased the functional acrosomal, plasma membrane, and DNA integrities. The inclusion of 50 mM trehalose in semen extender resulted in significantly (P < .05) increased post-thaw total motility compared to the control group, and chilled semen achieved higher pregnancy rates compared to the frozen-thawed one. Pregnancy rate of mares inseminated with frozen-thawed semen (P < .05; 46.15% vs. 36.36%, respectively) was lower than those inseminated with chilled semen (76.47% vs. 68.75%, respectively) but higher than control. In conclusion, addition of 50 mM trehalose yielded the highest quality stallion semen after cooling and post-thawing in terms of motility, integrities of acrosome, membrane, and DNA as well as improved field fertility.     

Effect of green buffer storage on the fertility of fresh camel semen after artificial insemination

Artificial insemination (AI) is one of the most widely used reproductive technologies, and there is considerably interest in commercializing this technology in camels. Storage of semen extender frozen (at -20 °C) is of considerable interest to scientists working with camels, as transportation of diluents at refrigeration temperature is not always possible given the hot, arid and remote conditions that dromedary camels exist in. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare the fertility of fresh camel semen, after dilution in fresh or frozen-thawed green buffer (GB), after AI into single and multiple ovulating female camels. No differences were observed in any sperm characteristics (motility, membrane integrity, acrosome integrity or morphology) when semen was diluted in fresh or frozen-thawed GB (p>0.05). Sperm motility was increased by dilution (fresh: 70.7 ± 4.9% and frozen: 68.8 ± 3.1%) compared with the motility of sperm in neat semen (35 ± 2.85%; p<0.05), and sperm motility changed from oscillatory to forward progressive after dilution. Pregnancy rates were higher (p<0.05) for single ovulating camels inseminated with semen diluted in fresh (72.7%) compared with frozen-thawed GB (27.3%), and fertilization rates were also higher (p<0.05) for multiple ovulating camels inseminated with semen diluted in fresh (83.3%) compared with frozen-thawed GB (11.1%). These results clearly demonstrate the detrimental effect of freezing and thawing semen diluent on the fertility of fresh camel semen. However, further studies are required to elucidate the mechanism responsible for this reduction in fertility. Moreover, these results demonstrate that the fertility of fresh camel semen diluted in fresh GB is high enough to be considered commercially viable.

鸵鸟卵黄对猪精子冷冻后质量的影响

为了提高猪冷冻精液品质和精子抵抗低温打击的能力,本研究以5%、10%、15%、20%和25%等不同浓度的鸵鸟卵黄作为冷冻保护剂,以20%的鸡蛋卵黄和20%的鸽蛋卵黄为对照,将冷冻-解冻后的精子活率、质膜完整率和顶体完整率作为评价指标,分析鸵鸟卵黄对猪精子的抗冷冻保护作用。结果表明：稀释液中添加20%鸽蛋卵黄时,精子活率、顶体完整率和质膜完整性分别为52.11%、55.62%和54.94%,显著高于其他组（P〈0.05）。虽然稀释液中添加15%鸵鸟卵黄时,冷冻-解冻后精子活率、顶体完整率和质膜完整率显著高于5%、10%、20%和25%鸵鸟卵黄组,但仍然显著低于稀释液中添加20%鸽蛋卵黄处理组。本研究表明,鸵鸟卵黄在冷冻过程中对猪精子具有一定的保护作用,但相对于鸽子蛋和鸡蛋卵黄效果并不理想。     

海藻糖、二甲乙酰胺对公猪精液冷冻保存效果的研究

采用5% 二甲乙酰胺(DMA)(V/V)完全替代甘油,比较乳糖、海藻糖对精液冷冻保存效果的影响。结果表明,海藻糖显著提高了冷冻——解冻后精子成活力(49.32%±1.52%)与顶体完整性 (47.33%±1.16%)(P<0.05)。然后利用海藻糖替代乳糖,评价不同浓度的DMA对公猪精液冷冻保存的影响。结果表明,当DMA添加量为4%时,解冻后精子活率、成活力、顶体完整率分别为(45.17±0.56)%、(50.33±0.67)%、(48.30±1.44)%,均显著高于3% DMA、6% DMA添加组(P<0.05),精子活率显著高于5% DMA添加组(P<0.05),但精子成活力、顶体完整性与其差异不显著(P>0.05)。因此,当利用海藻糖作为冷冻保存基础稀释液,DMA最适添加量为4%。     

辅酶Q10对绒山羊精液冷冻保存效果的影响

旨在探讨辅酶Q10对绒山羊精液冷冻保存效果的影响。利用添加不同浓度辅酶Q10(4、40、400?滋g/mL)的精液冷冻稀释液对绒山羊精液样本进行冷冻保存,待冷冻精液解冻后,采用流式细胞仪和计算机辅助精液分析系统(CASAS)分别检测不同精液样本的精子活率、质膜完整率、顶体完整率、DNA完整率、线粒体膜电位和细胞内ROS水平。结果表明,当冷冻稀释液中添加浓度为40μg/mL辅酶Q10时,经历冷冻—解冻过程的绒山羊精液样本的精子活率、质膜完整率、顶体完整率均显著高于对照组(P<0.05);在冷冻稀释液中添加浓度为40μg/mL或400μg/mL的辅酶Q10均能显著提高线粒体膜电位并降低细胞内ROS水平(P<0.05)。综上所述,在冷冻稀释液中添加40μg/mL的辅酶Q10能够显著提高绒山羊精子抗氧化能力和冷冻保存效果。     

Comparison of two different centrifugation extenders for preservation of frozen equine semen

This study compares a commercial semen extender (control group) to ultra high temperature (UHT) skimmed milk (treatment group) used during centrifugation for subsequent cryopreservation of equine semen. Following post‐thawing of semen samples parameters measured included motility, sperm motion kinetics (using computerised assisted semen analysis) as well as acrosome and plasmatic membrane integrity (using fluorescent dyes). After collection and analysis, the sperm‐rich fraction was divided and diluted with either: control (1:1 dilution in a skimmed milk‐glucose extender) or treatment (1:1 dilution in UHT skimmed milk). The milk used in this experiment was of the same source, commercial brand, of only one lot. After dilution, samples were subjected to centrifugation at 600 g for 10 min and sperm pellets were resuspended in a freezing extender to a concentration of 200 × 10⁶ cells/ml. Aliquots were packed into 0.5 ml straws placed in a stainless steel support and kept inside the refrigerator (5°C) for 20 min. Subsequently, these straws were placed at a height of 6 cm over liquid nitrogen for 20 min in an isotherm box. No significant differences were observed in total sperm motility (42.71 vs. 38.29%), progressive sperm motility (12.29 vs. 7.86%), plasma membrane integrity (53.43 vs. 60.14%) or acrosomal membrane integrity (93.29 vs. 93.71%) with a P>0.05 calculated between the control and the treatment groups, respectively. Considering that UHT skimmed milk has a lower cost than the commercial semen extender, this could be an option used during the centrifugation protocol to decrease the expense of the equine semen cryopreservation process and increase shelf life.     

Effects of Bovine Serum Albumin on Boar Sperm Quality During Liquid Storage at 17°C

This study aimed to investigate the effects of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on boar sperm quality during liquid storage at 17°C. Boar semen samples were collected and diluted with Modena containing different concentrations (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 g/l) of BSA, and sperm motility, plasma membrane integrity, acrosome integrity, total antioxidative capacity (T‐AOC) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were measured and analysed. The results showed that Modena supplemented with 3, 4 and 5 g/l BSA could improve boar sperm motility, effective survival time and plasma membrane integrity (p < 0.05), decrease MDA content (p < 0.05), while no statistical difference was observed for sperm acrosome integrity and T‐AOC activity among these three groups (p > 0.05). The semen sample diluted with Modena containing 4 g/l BSA could achieve optimum effect, and sperm survival time was 7.5 days. After 7 days preservation, sperm motility, plasma membrane integrity and acrosome integrity were 54%, 49% and 78%, respectively. T‐AOC activity and MDA content were 1.03 U/ml and 17.5 nmol/ml, respectively. In conclusion, Modena supplemented with BSA reduced the oxidative stress and improved the sperm quality of boar semen during liquid storage at 17°C, and 4 g/l BSA was the optimum concentration. Further studies are required to obtain more concrete results on the determination of antioxidant capacities of BSA in liquid preserved boar semen.

The Cryoprotective Effect of Trehalose Supplementation on Boar Spermatozoa Quality

In order to improve boar sperm quality during frozen-thawed process, the influence of the presence of trehalose on success of cryopreservation of boar sperm were investigated. We evaluated freeze-thawing tolerance of boar spermatozoa in a base cooling extender with the addition of different trehalose concentrations (0, 25, 50, 100 and 200 m m ), and try to determine the optimum concentration of trehalose. We chose sperm motility, mitochondrial activity, acrosome integrity and membrane integrity as parameters to evaluate cryopreservation capacity of boar spermatozoa. We obtained the best results for 100 m m trehalose-supplemented extenders, with values of 49.89% for motility, 44.69% for mitochondrial activity, 66.52% for acrosome integrity and 44.61% for membrane integrity, while freeze-thawing tolerance diminished significantly for 200 . The synergic effect of trehalose and glycerol resulted in better cryosurvival of boar spermatozoa than that of a single cryoprotectant. In conclusion, when trehalose-supplementation was added up to 100 m m , trehalose confers a greater cryoprotective capacity to the extender, and the sperm motility, mitochondrial activity, membrane integrity and acrosome integrity parameters were significantly improved during frozen-thawed process.
