“…Results of the present study revealed that decrease in sperm function was associated with an increase in holding time which was in agreement with previous studies reported in cattle (O'Flahert et al, 1999) and buffalo (Kumaresan et al, 2006). Variations in the fertility of rams have been reported after cervical inseminations with fresh semen (Paulenz et al, 2002;Anel et al, 2005) and after laparoscopic inseminations with frozen semen (Eppleston et al, 1986(Eppleston et al, , 1991Maxwell, 1986;Eppleston and Maxwell, 1995).…”

Yearling Akkaraman ewes (n = 140) were apportioned into two groups and inseminated with fresh semen collected from Suffolk and Dorper rams. Bilateral intrauterine insemination (100 x 106 spermatozoa in 0.25 ml) was performed with the aid of laparoscope. Fixed time insemination was carried out 48-50 h after controlled intravaginal drug release (CIDR) removal with the aid of estrus detection using vasectomized rams. Uterine tone at the time of insemination was scored (1-3), the highest pregnancy rate achieved for ewes with score 3 (67%), followed by 59 and 47% for scores 2 and 1, respectively. General decrease in pregnancy rates were observed with increased duration of stored fresh semen over the insemination period (Fall from 73 to 57% over 120 min storage). However, a slight increase in conception rate was observed at the time of AI with the semen kept in vitro for a longer period (90-120 m) which might be the most appropriate time relative to ovulation.

“…Similarly, a high glutathione level in the cryopreserved extender was also found to reduce the effect of ROS attack on plasma membranes of bovine spermatozoa that survived the freezing-thawing procedures (Satorre et al 2007). Kumaresan et al (2006) concluded that incorporation of oviductal proteins into the extender before freezing reduces the lipid peroxidation levels in buffalo spermatozoa during cryopreservation and thereby improves the post-thaw sperm quality.…”

Sperm proteins in the seminal plasma and spermatozoa of teleostean and chondrostean have evolved adaptations due to the changes in the reproductive environment. Analysis of the composition and functions of these proteins provides new insights into sperm motility and fertilising abilities, thereby creating possibilities for improving artificial reproduction and germplasm resource conservation technologies (e.g. cryopreservation). Seminal plasma proteins are involved in the protection of spermatozoa during storage in the reproductive system, whereas all spermatozoa proteins contribute to the swimming and fertilising abilities of sperm. Compared to mammalian species, little data are available on fish sperm proteins and their functions. We review here the current state of the art in this field and focus on relevant subjects that require attention. Future research should concentrate on protein functions and their mode of action in fish species, especially on the role of spermatozoa surface proteins during fertilisation and on a description of sturgeon sperm proteins.

“…Maintaining an ideal balance between reactive oxygen species and antioxidants is likely important for several aspects of sperm function in the oviduct, including viability and motility. Because the activity of these antioxidant enzymes reduces lipid peroxidation of phosphohpids in post-thawed sperm, it may explain the benefit of adding oviduct secretions to the semen ' extender (Kumaresan et al, 2006).…”

The mammalian oviduct has long been recognized as an organ essential for successful reproduction. Bovine, ovine, porcine, and equine animal models have offered clear advantages for oviduct study related to gamete physiology, fertilization, and early embryonic development. Livestock species are amenable to surgical alteration of the reproductive tract, estrous cycle manipulation, gamete cryopreservation, and AI, as well as in vitro fertilization and embryo production. Although most reproductive technology developed for livestock was intended to benefit production animal agriculture, these techniques are a treasure trove of tools for researchers to better understand how the oviduct influences gamete function. Oviduct secretions obtained from in vitro tissue cultures or via indwelling oviduct catheters have been used for analyses to define the protein, lipid, carbohydrate, enzyme, and electrolyte compositions of the secretions during the estrous cycle or in response to hormone treatment. Oviduct secretions or components purified from them have also been used in in vitro assays to assess their ability to bind to sperm, influence sperm viability, motility, sperm capacitation, the acrosome reaction, sperm-egg binding, and egg penetration, as well as subsequent embryonic development. Compelling data have emerged which show that the composition of secretions differs during the estrous cycle and that their composition differs whether they originate from the ampullary or isthmic regions of the oviduct. These differences in composition are functionally relevant and associated with different responses by sperm. Evidence indicatess that oviduct-specific glycoproteins, glycosaminoglycans, carbohydrates, norepinepherine, catecholamines, heat-shock protein, and osteopontin are components of the oviductal milieu that have the capacity to modulate sperm function. Future research on the livestock oviduct will likely define the role that oviduct secretions have in modulating sperm function and how these modifications ultimately affect fertilization and embryo development.
