Cold-induced damage in boar sperm cooled to 5 °C in Lactose Egg Yolk (LEY) medium with different Glycerol concentrations
Anim Reprod Sci. 2024 Mar 13;264:107455. doi: 10.1016/j.anireprosci.2024.107455. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBoar sperm is highly susceptible to cold damage. When temperature drops to 5°C, the plasmatic membrane is destabilized. The freezing process causes a reduction of the fertility window because frozen/thawed boar sperm has less survivability. The aim of this work was to analyze the effect on sperm characteristics and response to capacitation stimuli of cooling to 5°C using a controlled protocol. Also, we evaluated if the addition of Glycerol 2% or 3% at 5°C was able to modify these parameters. For this purpose, w...

Supplementation of extender with chamuangone-enriched Garcinia cowa leaf extract improves quality parameters and longevity of cold-stored cat semen
CONCLUSION: 100 µg/mL chamuangone can improve sperm characteristics during 15 days of preservation at 4 degree C, keeping sperm alive (49.3 ± 5.2%) and moving (7.1 ± 2.4%). These results can be used for the development of breeding programs using technologically advanced reproductive procedures in domestic and wild cats. https://doi.org/10.54680/fr24110110212.PMID:38538371 (Source: Cryo-Letters)

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1327: Advances in Understanding the Antioxidant and Antigenic Properties of Egg-Derived Peptides
a Aprodu Pepsin, trypsin and proteinase K were used in the present study to hydrolyse the proteins from whole eggs, yolks or whites, and the resulting hydrolysates were characterised in terms of antioxidant and IgE-binding properties, using a combination of in vitro and in silico methods. Based on the degree of hydrolysis (DH) results, the egg yolk proteins are better substrates for all the tested enzymes (DH of 6.2–20.1%) compared to those from egg whites (DH of 2.0–4.4%). The SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that pepsin and proteinase K were more efficient compared to trypsin in breaking the in...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1242: Design of Physicochemical Properties of Eggs as a Result of Modification of the Fat Fraction of Laying Feed
Lukasiewicz The aim of this study was to investigate and confirm the properties of eggs produced by laying hens fed a diet consisting of pomegranate seed oil as a source of CLnA and flaxseed oil as a source of α-linolenic acid. The study involved determining the chemical composition of the eggs, including their fatty acid profile. The results showed that modifying the laying hens’ feed composition resulted in eggs with high nutritional value, with a favorable change in their fatty acid profile. In most cases, the addition of linseed oil or pomegranate seed oil did not affect the physical and...
