| Embryo cryodamage is observed mainly at metabolic and molecular aspects and it impairs post warming quality and survival rates. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of L-carnitine (LC) supplementation during either vitrification or post warming solutions on the 6-7th day of in vivo-produced ovine embryos. LC (3.72 mM) was added to vitrification (Experiment 1; C1: control; LC1: supplemented embryos) or warming solutions (Experiment 2; C2; LC2). In vitro culture (IVC) of warmed embryos was performed for 72 h at 38,5 °C, 5% CO2 and 5% O2 to evaluate survival rates in both Experiments. In Experiment 1, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured by CellROX Green staining, total cell number (TCN) by Hoechst 33342, number of apoptotic cells by... |

| Sperm capacitation is a prerequisite for mammal successful fertilization. Although usually a capacitating substance such as heparin is used during sheep in vitro fertilization, evidences suggest that the cryopreservation process and Percoll technique could induce spontaneous capacitation. This study aimed to compare ovine, caprine and bovine frozen-thawed sperm after mini-Percoll processing on sperm parameters, receiving or not heparin supplementation. In conclusion, frozen-thawed ovine, caprine and bovine spermatozoa processed with mini-Percoll behave similarly regarding to capacitation status and does not require heparin supplementation during in vitro incubation to achieve capacitation.

| Background: Sperm capacitation is a process consists of a series of functional, biochemical, and biophysical modifications that render the ejaculated sperm competent for oocyte fertilization. Secreted by the female reproductive tract epithelium, heparin promotes capacitation by binding to and removing seminal plasma proteins, which are adsorbed to the sperm PM and would inhibit capacitation. There is substantial evidence that cryopreservation promotes capacitation-like changes in bull, ram and buck sperm. Our general hypotheses were: (a) cryopreserved ram sperm suffer capacitation more quickly than buck and bull sperm under the same conditions; (b) the capacitation status of ruminant cryopreserved sperm is similar whether or not heparin is present after... |
