Ovarian responses in gonadotrophin-releasing hormone-treated anoestrous ewes: follicular and endocrine correlates with luteal outcomeReproduction, Fertility and Development - Tập 13 Số 3 - Trang 133 - 2001
Pawel M. Bartlewski, A.P. Beard, Christopher L. Chapman, Marita L. Nelson, Brent D. Palmer, Jayaprakash Aravindakshan, Susan Cook, N. C. Rawlings
The relationships between the development of antral follicles (growing from 3 to
≥5 mm diameter), hormone secretion (luteinizing hormone (LH),
follicle-stimlating hormone (FSH), oestradiol and progesterone), ovulation and
the formation of luteal structures in response to gonadotrophin-releasing
hormone (GnRH) were examined in 24 anoestrous Western White Face ewes
(May–July). Ewes were monitored by... hiện toàn bộ
Tropical summer induces DNA fragmentation in boar spermatozoa: implications for evaluating seasonal infertilityReproduction, Fertility and Development - Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 590 - 2019
Santiago T. Peña, Felicity Stone, Bruce Gummow, A. J. Parker, Damien B.B.P. Paris
Summer infertility continues to undermine pig productivity, costing the pig
industry millions in annual losses. The boar’s inefficient capacity to sweat,
non-pendulous scrotum and the extensive use of European breeds in tropical
conditions, can make the boar particularly vulnerable to the effects of heat
stress; however, the link between summer heat stress and boar sperm DNA damage
has not yet bee... hiện toàn bộ
Rapid cryopreservation of sheep embryos by direct transfer into liquid nitrogen vapour at -180 degrees CReproduction, Fertility and Development - Tập 2 Số 6 - Trang 613 - 1990
Á. Széll, J Zhang, R H Hudson
The in vitro survival of control and rapidly cryopreserved sheep embryos was
examined as a function of the duration of exposure to a vitrification medium
(25% glycerol + 25% propylene glycol). Embryos in late morula to late blastocyst
stages were permeated by a mixture of 10% glycerol + 20% propylene glycol for 10
min at 18-23 degrees C and then exposed to the vitrification medium for 0.5, 1,

Chilling ovarian fragments during transportation improves viability and growth of goat preantral follicles cultured in vitroReproduction, Fertility and Development - Tập 20 Số 5 - Trang 640 - 2008

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of storage of goat
ovarian fragments at different temperatures and for different incubation times
on the viability and growth of cultured preantral follicles in vitro. Caprine
ovaries were collected and divided into 19 fragments, with one fragment being
fixed immediately (fresh control). The remaining fragments were placed in
minimal essenti... hiện toàn bộ
Melatonin potentially acts directly on swine ovary by modulating granulosa cell function and angiogenesisReproduction, Fertility and Development - Tập 29 Số 12 - Trang 2305 - 2017
Giuseppina Basini, Simona Bussolati, Roberta Ciccimarra, Francesca Grasselli
Melatonin exerts well-known reproductive effects, mainly acting on hypothalamic
gonadotrophin-releasing hormone release. More recent data suggest that melatonin
acts directly at the ovarian level, even if, at present, these aspects have been
only partly investigated. Swine follicular fluid contains melatonin and its
concentration is significantly reduced during follicular growth. Therefore, the
pr... hiện toàn bộ
Beneficial effects of melatonin on in vitro embryo production from juvenile goat oocytesReproduction, Fertility and Development - Tập 30 Số 2 - Trang 253 - 2018

Melatonin is a universal antioxidant that improves in vitro embryo production in
several species. The aims of this study were to determine the melatonin
concentration in the ovarian follicular fluid (FF) of juvenile goats and the
effect of melatonin during in vitro maturation (IVM) on embryo development. The
FF melatonin concentration was 0.57–1.07 × 10−9 M, increasing with follicular
diameter. O... hiện toàn bộ
Effect and possible mechanisms of melatonin treatment on the quality and developmental potential of aged bovine oocytesReproduction, Fertility and Development - Tập 29 Số 9 - Trang 1821 - 2017
Shuang Liang, Jing Guo, Jeong‐Woo Choi, Nam‐Hyung Kim, Xiang‐Shun Cui
After reaching the metaphase II (MII) stage, unfertilised oocytes undergo a
time-dependent process of quality deterioration referred to as oocyte aging. The
associated morphological and cellular changes lead to decreased oocyte
developmental potential. This study investigated the effect of exogenous
melatonin supplementation on in vitro aged bovine oocytes and explored its
underlying mechanisms. T... hiện toàn bộ
Capacitation status and fertility of fresh and frozen - thawed ram spermatozoaReproduction, Fertility and Development - Tập 9 Số 5 - Trang 481 - 1997
L. Gillan, G. Evans, W.M.C. Maxwell
The effect of cryopreservation on the capacitation status and fertility of ram
spermatozoa was observed. After the chlortetracycline staining technique was
validated for ram spermatozoa, it was applied to fresh or long-term
frozen-stored spermatozoa. Fresh spermatozoa displayed mainly the F pattern
(non-capacitated; 61·3%), becoming B pattern (capacitated; 54%) and AR pattern
(acrosome reacted; 41... hiện toàn bộ
In vitro and in vivo assessment of functional capacity of flow cytometrically sorted ram spermatozoa after freezing and thawingReproduction, Fertility and Development - Tập 15 Số 6 - Trang 351 - 2003

The effect of sex sorting and freeze–thawing on the viability and fertility of
ram spermatozoa was investigated in the present study. Non-sorted (control)
frozen–thawed spermatozoa had a higher motility and forwards progressive
motility (FPM) than sorted frozen–thawed spermatozoa (60.9 ± 2.9% v. 57.0 ± 3.3%
and 4.0 ± 0.1 v. 3.5 ± 0.1 FPM, respectively; P < 0.001) after incubation (6 h
at 37°C). So... hiện toàn bộ
