Delta-S-Cys-Albumin as a Marker of Pediatric Biospecimen Integrity
We report application of a previously developed assay in adults-the ΔS-Cys-Albumin assay, which facilitates estimation of plasma and serum exposure to thawed conditions-to a population of pediatric EDTA plasma samples from patients aged 3-18 years to determine the assay's applicability, estimate its reference range for pediatric samples, and assess the impact of pre-centrifugation delay at 0°C. In addition, the effect of plasma thawed-state exposure to a range of times at 23°C, 4°C, and -20°C on ΔS-Cys-Albumin was evaluated. Using 98 precollected and processed pediatric EDTA plasma specimens, no difference was found ...

Protective Effect of < em > N < /em > -Acetylcysteine on Rooster Semen Cryopreservation
Biopreserv Biobank. 2024 Apr 18. doi: 10.1089/bio.2023.0103. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCryopreservation of avian semen is a useful reproductive technique in the poultry industry. However, during cooling, elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels have destructive effects on both quality and function of thawed sperm. The aim of the current study is to investigate the antioxidant effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) during rooster semen cryopreservation. Semen samples were collected from ten Ross 308 broiler breeder roosters (32 weeks) and mixed. The mixed samples were divided into five equal parts and cryopreserved in L...
