“…A similar effect was found for monkey (Macaca mulatta) sperm following freezing-thawing [177]. Analysis of sperm chromatin structure in foxes (Alopex lagopus and Vulpes vulpes) showed that the genetic material of the sperm of silver foxes was more stable compared to the arctic ones, suggesting that analysis of chromatin stability should complement morphological and molecular evaluation of semen [178]. In addition, similar tests have been carried out with marine mammals; the comet assay was used for the evaluation of sperm DNA integrity of dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) both in the field and in laboratory settings [179].…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
