This study was carried out to investigate synthetic extender for semen cryopreservation of Jeju Native Black Bull. The semen was collected using an artificial vagina and transported to the laboratory. The semen was diluted 1:1 by Tris-Egg yolk extender and contrifuged in 1,500 rpm for 15 minutes. The supernatant was removed. The pellect was diluted to final sperm concentration of $2{\times}10^8/ml$ by doubling in every 30 minutes at $4^{\circ}C$ cold chamber. The semen was equilibrated for 4 hours at cold chamber and packed to 0.5 ml straw. The semen straws were located above 5 cm for 10 minutes. The height and duration affect the freezing speed by temperature. The frozen straw was plunged to $LN_2$. The presented straws were examined the viability and motility after thawed at $37^{\circ}C$ water bath. Frozen-thawed sperm were evaluated sperm viability, membrane integrity and acrosome integrity. Post-thawed sperm viability has been significantly higher (p<0.05) in fresh sperm ($93.27{\pm}1.62%$) than frozen-thawed sperm ($73.34{\pm}3.27%$). However, there were no significant differences between fresh and frozen-thawed dead cell rate ($7.35{\pm}2.63$ vs, $13.71{\pm}2.85$). In sperm motility, between Triladyl and AndroMed Extender, there was no significant different ($72.86{\pm}2.83$ vs, $81.47{\pm}2.48$), similarly, the dead cell rates was similar ($18.41{\pm}3.42%$ and $17.26{\pm}4.25$). The results of our study suggest that AndroMed to the freezing extender showed more positive effect on the frozen-thawed spermatozoa in Jeju Native Black bull semen.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sperm viability, normal acrosome and mitochondrial activity in the frozen-thawed fowl semen by different cryoprotectants. The experiment was carried out on 10 sexually adult roosters of Ogye. The semen was collected twice a week and pooled semen was diluted 1:1 EK extender containing no cryoprotectant at $5^{\circ}C$. After equilibration for 30 minutes, diluted chicken semen was diluted 1:1 extender containing either 7% dimethylacetamide (DMA), 7% dimethylformamide (DMF) or 7.5% methylacetamide (MA) at final concentration and was put in 0.5 mL plastic straws and frozen for 30 minutes by exposure to liquid nitrogen vapor 4 cm above the surface of liquid nitrogen, followed by plunging into liquid nitrogen. Frozen semen was thawed in water bath at $5^{\circ}C$ for 2 minutes. For cytometric analysis, the frozen-thawed semen was diluted with EK extender to a final concentration of 90 million spermatozoa per mL. Sperm membrane integrity was evaluated as SYBR-14 and propidium iodide (PI). Acrosome integrity was assessed with fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled PSA and PI. The percentage of mitochondrial function was estimated by using Rhodamine123 (R123) and PI. In conclusion, freezing rooster semen by using 7% DMF as cryoprotectant was significantly highest in rates of survival and mitochondrial function while its rate of damage of acrosome was significantly lowest. As a result, DMF is the cryoprotectant that has the lowest influences on sperm membranes and acrosome integrity. Therefore it could be used for freezing method of animal genetic conservation method for poultry diversity.
Spermatozoa sorted by flow cytometry have been successfully used to produce offspring in domestic animals and are commercially available for cattle. Also sheath fluid is the important environment for viability of sex-sorted sperm in flow cytometry. The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not HEPES (N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-Ethanesulfonic acid) has any effect on the viability in sex-sorted Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) sperm. In this study, the semen was collected from Hanwoo of Hoengseong Livestock Cooperation by artificial vagina method then pooled and subjected to cryopreservation in straws. Sperm were cultured for 0, 30, 60 and 120 min with 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mM of HEPES added to the sheath fluid and incubated at 4, 20 and 38$^{\circ}C$, respectively. For the cytometric analysis the frozen-thawed semen was extended with 5 mM HEPES extender to final concentration ($2{\times}10^7$ spermatozoa) at 4, 20 and 37$^{\circ}C$. Sperm viability was assessed with SYBR-14 and propidium iodide (PI) staining. This study shows that the viability of sperm was decreased with prolongation of incubation time in all of test. But the viability of sperm which were treated with 38$^{\circ}C$ was gently decreased than that of treated with other temperature. The viability of the control was sharply decreased (p<0.05) than all of the HEPES treatment group at 60 to 120 min in 38$^{\circ}C$. X-sexed sperm was more sensitive than Y-sexed sperm to temperature during f10w cytometry (p<0.05). In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that the sheath fluid with 5 mM HEPES has effect on maintenance of viability after sperm sexing at 37$^{\circ}C$ in Hanwoo.
Early development of porcine oocytes fertilized in vitro was examined in different culture conditions. Porcine ovaries were collected from local slaughter-house. Cumulus-oocytes complexes were aspirated from 2 to 6 mm follicles. The collected oocytes were cultured for in vitro maturation in NCSU-23 medium with 5 mM hypotaurine, 0.57 mM cystein, 10% porcine follicle fluid, 10 IU/ml PMSG and 10 IU/ml hCG for 42~44 hrs. The frozen-thawed spermatozoa were washed by centrifigation 2 times at 1, 500 rpm in D-PBS with 5.56 mM glucose, 0.33 mM Na-pyruvate, 100 IU/ml penicillin, 1$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml streptomycin and 1ng/ml BSA. The fertilization medium used mTBM with 2 mM caffeine and 2 mg/ml BSA and adjusted to a pH of 7.2 to 7.4. The final concentration of spermatozoa was adjusted to 2.5$\times$10$^{6}$ cells/ml motile sperm during fertilization in vitro. At 8hrs h after insemination, the oocytes were transferred into NCSU-23 medium with 5.0 mM hypotaurine and 4 mg/ml BSA and cultured for 7 days. In first experiment, the mean numbers of oocytes collected from 20 ovaries were 674.4 oocytes, and 4.1(27.6), 12.5(84.0), 25.4(171.6) and 57.9%(390.8) for A, B, C and D grade in morphological classification. In the second experiment, when culture medium was supplemented with various concentrations of EGF, the proportions of oocytes cleaved were 56.9, 55.7, 61.9 and 54.7% for 0, 5, 10 and 20ng/ml EGF. The higher proportions(15.1%) of oocytes developed to morular stage were obtained at concentration of 10ng/ml than 0 and 5ng/ml EGF (P<0.05). However, the proportions of embryos developed to blastocyst stage were not significantly different among concentrations of EGF. In another experiment, when the medium supplemented with catalase was used, the proportions of oocytes cleaved were higher in the concentration of 0 unit (56.5%, 61/108) than 100 and 1, 000 unit/ml of catalase (P<0.05). Although the developmental capacity of embryos was improved by medium with 0 unit/ml compared with 100, 500 and 1, 000 units/ml of catalase in oocytes developed to morula and blastocyst stages, were not significantly different among concentrations of catalase.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of catalase using xanthine (X) - xanthine oxidase (XO) system on in vitro maturation and fertilization in pig. When follicular oocytes were cultured in maturation medium with X and/or XO, the maturation rates were not significantly different between in medium with and without catalase despite of different culture periods. However, significantly (P<0.05) higher maturation rates were obrained in culture with X-XO system. The rates of degenerated oocytes were increased with culture periods prolonged, and were significantly (P<0.05) higher in medium without than with catalase at 120 h of culture. On the other hand, the parthenogenetic oocytes were observed with high proportions at 72 h of culture, hut were not different in medium with and without catalase at various times of culture. In another experiment, the frozen-thawed boar spermatozoa treated with X-XO system for in vitro fertilization. The penetration rates were higher in medium with that than without catalase during the in vitro fertilization with, none (P<0.05), XO and X+XO. On the other hand, when sperm were treated with none, X, XO and X+XO, lipid peroxidation were higher in medium without that than with catalase. However, the changes in sperm penetration and lipid peroxidation showed opposite patterns. The sperm suspensions were also treated with X and/or XO for assay of sulfhydryl (-SH) group content. Under the above all conditions, sperm-SH group were higher detected In medium with that than without catalase. The activity of sperm binding to zona pellucida was also evaluated through binding to salt-stored porcine oocytes. In control group, sperm binding to zona pellucida were higher than in medium with X, XO and X+XO groups. No significant differences, however, were observed between medium with and without catalase. In conclusion, the exposure of follicular oocytes and spermatozoa to X-XO system may be caused stimulating in vitro maturation and fertilization in pig. This work was supported by grant No. 2000-1-22200-001-3 from the Basic Research Program of the Korea Science & Engineering Foundation.

This study examined factors affecting the analysis of motility of chicken semen. The viability of spermatozoa was estimated using varying dilution ratios and supplementation with BSA or fatty acid free (FAF)-BSA as protein sources in semen diluent. Fresh semen was examined after preparing dilutions in beltsvile poultry semen extender (BPSE) of 1/8, 1/16 and 1/32 at $25^{\circ}C$. The motility of incubated semen at each dilution was observed at 3 min (89.9%, 69.9% and 53.2%), 30 min (86.7%, 71.4% and 51.7%), 1 h (89.5%, 74.0% and 53.5%) and 3 h (78.5%, 66.5% and 45.7%), respectively. The addition of BSA or FAF-BSA to BPSE diluent significantly increased the viability of semen in 1/32 dilution with results of 53.2% (control), 84.8% (BSA) and 92.9% (FAF-BSA) (p<0.05). This phenomenon was also observed in the dilution of frozen semen, where FAF-BSA treatment increased the viability of thawed semen from 17.6% to 34.0% in a 1/8 dilution (p<0.05). When the protein sources were used in the dilution, the survival rates of diluted chicken semen were also increased with time lapse. These results show that FAF-BSA may act to protect chicken semen and is suitable as a basic component of chicken semen diluent for the method of analyzing rooster semen after freezing.
This study was carried out to investigate the effects of the bull, sperm type and sperm pretreatment on the pronuclear formation and in vitro development after injection of spermatozoa into in vitro matured bovine oocytes. 1. Spermatozoa derived room four bulls(A, B, C and D) were used for ICSI. The male pronuclear formation and developmental rates were 73.9∼87.0% and 33.3∼60.9%, respectively. 2. The effects of sperm type were examined. Male pronuclear formation rates by using fresh-and frozen-sperm, tail-cutting and tail-scoring sperm were 82.0%. 78.0%. 42.2% and 51.1% (p<0.05) while development rates were 56.0%. 42.0%, 17.8% and 22.2%, respectively. Fresh sperm achived a high mail pronuclear- and development rates than those of other groups. 3. Cheroical pretreatments were tested and compared. When sperm were pretreated with heparin, BFF(bovine follicula fluid), His, Ca Ionophore(I) and I + caffeine, mate pronuclear formation and developmental rates were 66.7∼82.2% and 33.3∼60.6%. respectively. and these values of treatment of I + caffeine were higher than that of other methods. 4. The male pronuclear formation and developmental rates of oocytes obtained by ICSI treated with or without zona pellucida were 80.0%. 72.0% and 46.0%, 36.0%, respectively.
This study was done to find optimal cryopreservation medium and method to improve the post-thaw motility of human sperm. Thirty three semaen samples were included in the study. Of these, nineteen Samples showing normal semen profile were frozen using three cryprotectants (TYB, TYB+DTT and KS II)to compare post-thaw motility. Fourteen samples were frozen with vapor freezing and programmable freezing methods to compare post-thaw motility in correlation with freezing method. After 24 hrs of cryostorage , the vials were thawed and the post-thaw sperm motility was assessed by two kinds of computer-aededsperm analysis (CASA; SAIS and Hamilton Thorn). As a result, the post-thaw motility of the KS II group was higher than the TYB or TYB+DTT group in normal semen(34.8%, 28.3% and 23.0%, respectively). In the asthenospermia group, a significantly hither post-thaw motility was observed in the KS II (18.5%) compared to those of TYB or TYB+DTT group (13.6%, 10.0%, respectively). No difference was observed between vapor freezing group and computerized freezing group in normal semen (27.8%, 33.2%, respectively) and semen group showing asthenospermia (12.8%, 12.9%, respectively). In conclusion, our results indicate that KS II medium is reliable for cryopreservation of human sperm and vapor freezing and programmable freezing were equally effective in terms of the recovery of motile spermatozoa.
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of thawing temperature on the sperm viability and acrosomal morphology for semen storage of miniature pig by the 0.5ml straw method. In this present study, sperm viability (SYBR-14/PI staining), membrane integrity (Hypoosmotic Swelling Test), acrosome intactness, intensity and capacitation status (chlorotetracycline staining) in frozen miniature pig sperm were evaluated after thawing at 37, 50 and $70^{\circ}C$ for 5, 10 and 45 sec, respectively. Interestingly, the results indicated that sperm thawed at $70^{\circ}C$ for 5 sec significantly (p<0.05) increased sperm viability, but lower the percentage of AR (acrosome reacted spermatozoa) pattern compared to sperm thawed at $37^{\circ}C$ for 45 sec and $50^{\circ}C$ for 10 sec. In terms of thawing condition, high temperature for a short time using the 0.5ml straw was improved cryosurvival of miniature pig semen. Therefore, appropriate thawing method for cryopreservation of miniature pig is required for increasing post-thawing viability.
Objective: Present investigation was aimed to study the Single Nucleotide Variants of the luteinizing hormone beta ($LH{\beta}$) gene and to analyze their association with the semen quality (fresh and post-thawed frozen semen) and luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations in Murrah buffalo bulls. Methods: Polymerase chain reaction-single stranded conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and Sanger sequencing method is used to study genetic variability in $LH{\beta}$ gene. LH assay was carried out using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. A fixed general linear model was used to analyze association of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of $LH{\beta}$ gene with semen quality in 109 and LH concentrations in 80 Murrah bulls. Results: $LH{\beta}$ gene was found to be polymorphic. Total six SNPs were identified in $LH{\beta}$ gene g C356090A, g C356113T, g A356701G, g G355869A, g G356330C, and g G356606T. Single Stranded Conformational Polymorphism variants of pattern 2 of exon 1+pattern 2 of exon 2+pattern 1 of exon 3 had highly significant (p<0.01) effect on sperm concentration (million/mL), percent mass motility, acrosome integrity and membrane integrity in fresh and frozen semen whereas significant (p<0.05) effect was observed on percent live spermatozoa. SSCP variants of pattern 2 of exon 1+pattern 2 of exon 2+pattern 1 of exon 3 had highly significant (p<0.01) effect on luteinizing hormone concentrations too. Conclusion: The observed association between SSCP variants of $LH{\beta}$ gene with semen quality parameters and LH concentrations indicated the possibilities of using $LH{\beta}$ as a candidate gene for identification of markers for semen quality traits and LH concentrations in Murrah buffaloes.
