Abstract Background The wisent ( Bison bonasus ) is a species that has undergone population bottleneck. Homozygosity prevalent within the and may have negative impact on semen quality in bulls. Semen samples containing large amount of functionally morphologically impaired or dead spermatozoa lower tolerance for cryopreservation process. Such are prone to involve damage acrosomes, produce release reactive oxygen which negatively affects proper function spermatozoas. It good practice select...
Abstract Sperm membrane composition and biophysical characteristics play a pivotal role in many physiological processes (i.e. sperm motility, capacitation, acrosome reaction fusion with the oocyte) as well semen processing (e.g. cryopreservation). The aim of this study was to characterize fatty acid content (anisotropy, generalized polarization) cell domestic cat spermatozoa. Semen collected from 34 adult male cats by urethral catheterization. After basic evaluation, some samples (n = 11)...
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common problems in older male dogs that often has a huge impact on their health and welfare. This article presents comparison between osaterone acetate (Ypozane®; Virbac®)(OA) deslorelin (Suprelorin®; Virbac®)(DA), medications are main therapeutic alternative to castration with BPH. Forty were divided into four groups: I-negative control (five without BPH); II-positive (10 individuals diagnosed III-15 treated DA, IV-10 OA. Semen fractions...
Abstract ProAKAP4 is gaining increasing attention as a potential marker of semen quality in many species, but while there commercial kit for assessing proAKAP4 the domestic cat, are no publications about its use. The aim this study was to evaluate – Cat 4MID® Kit (SPQI 4BioDx, Lille, France) assessment feline semen. Semen collected from 54 male cats by urethral catheterization. After basic evaluation (subjective motility, CASA, viability, morphology), levels each sample were assessed using...
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is used in HIV-infected patients. Alongside the prolongation of patients' life, adverse side effects associated with long-term are becoming an increasing problem. Therefore, optimizing HAART extremely important. The study aimed at evaluating toxicity abacavir and etravirine monotherapy on reproductive system, liver, kidneys, bones young, sexually mature, male rats. Thirty-six 8-week-old Wistar rats randomized into three 12-animal groups received...
Evaluation of body surface temperature change in response to exercise is important for monitoring physiological status. The aim the study was assess influence high-speed treadmill on using infrared thermography (IRT) selected regions healthy Beagle dogs, taking into account gait and recovery time. Thermographic images dogs were taken before (BE), after walk (AW), trot (AT), canter (AC), just second (JAE), 5 min (5 AE), 15 (15 30 (30 45 (45 120 (120 AE). Body measured at neck, shoulder, upper...
The current population of wisents (Bison bonasus, Linnaeus 1758) originates from only 12 individuals that survived World War II in zoos and private enclosures. For better preservation genetic variability, research is being conducted to introduce assisted reproductive techniques this species. In article, we describe the state knowledge prospects for further development field. article divided into sections dealing with semen collection preservation, artificial insemination, oocyte collection,...
Epididymal spermatozoa obtained post mortem are considered a valuable source of genetic material which is often irrevocably lost. This makes these gametes constitute key element in protection and restitution programs. The wisent (Bison bonasus, Linnaeus 1758) species that survived zoos after extinction from its natural habitat. resulted narrowing the pool whole population, at present derived only 12 ancestors. Currently, programs aimed preserving diversity by establishing germplasm bank....
Abstract The wisent (or European bison) Bison bonasus is a species that has gone through bottleneck, resulting in narrow gene pool of the current population. Presently, protection program for this species, addition to protecting habitat, aimed at preserving pool. One its elements creating bank gametes with intention using them constantly developed Assisted Reproductive Techniques species. In order use potential stored as effectively possible, it extremely important assess their post-freezing...
