Morfología espermática: comparación de las observaciones realizadas por 10 expertos
Sperm morphology: comparison of observations made by 10 experts

Introducción: La morfología espermática es uno de los parámetros más importantes que se evalúan durante el análisis seminal, aunque es un parámetro que presentan alta variabilidad inter-laboratorios. Por lo tanto el objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la variación interindividuo al analizar ...

Should azoospermic patients with varicocele disease undergo surgery to recover fertility?

Summary Introduction: Varicocele disease is well-known cause of infertility in men. The presence of spermatic varices veins create a hostile environment to spermatogenesis. It results in reduced quality of the sperm production and in some cases can determine a total absence of sperm. The varicocelectomy...

High exposure to boron in drinking water and sperm parameters in Chilean young people

Int. j. morphol; 35 (1), 2017
Our aim was to describe sperm parameters in residents from Northern Chile. We evaluated in 101 volunteers (18 and 30 years old) urinary and drinking water Boron levels using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry; semen parameters were measured with standardized methods. Each individual was categor...

Characterization of the Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis adhesion to bovine sperm cells

Int. j. morphol; 34 (4), 2016
Campylobacter fetus is extracellular bacteria of the genital tract of cattle. They cause infertility and abortion, but there is no documented information on the susceptibility of bovine sperm cells to this bacteria. The aim of this present work was to study the effects provoked by Campylobacter fetus sub...

Citometría de flujo y sexaje de espermatozoides en animales

Actualmente, cientos de crías se han gestado a través de inseminación artificial conespermatozoides sexados en producción animal. Desde 1992 se utiliza la citometría de flujo, técnica que permite diferenciar espermatozoides X e Y según su contenido de ADN. No existe, hasta el momento, ninguna otra...

Recovery of sperm after epididymal refrigeration from domestic cats using ACP-117c and Tris extenders

We aimed to compare fresh sperm and sperm cooled to 4ºC that had been recovered from the epididymides of cats using powdered coconut water (ACP-117c) and Tris extenders. Sixty epididymides were divided into 6 groups: 10 fresh epididymides were recovered using Tris (T0h); 10 were kept at 4°C/2h and reco...

Identification of ultrastructural and functional damages in sperm from six-banded armadillos (Euphractus sexcinctus) due to cryopreservation

Pesqui. vet. bras; 36 (8), 2016
The aim of the study was to cryopreserve the semen of six-banded armadillos (Euphractus sexcinctus) in Tris-yolk and glycerol diluent, and to determine the damage caused by the freezing-thawing process, using fluorescent markers and ultrastructural analysis. Semen samples (n=11) collected from 4 adult si...

Efeito de diferentes concentrações de melatonina em espermatozoides de carneiros sobre estresse oxidativo após criopreservação

Pesqui. vet. bras; 36 (7), 2016
Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da adição de diferentes concentrações de melatonina no sêmen diluído de carneiros após criopreservação. Foram coletados 10 ejaculados de três carneiros adultos (n=30), por meio de vagina artificial para ovinos. Os ejaculados coletados foram diluídos em Tris-Gema d...
