Effect of extenders on sperm mitochondrial membrane, plasma membrane and sperm kinetics during liquid storage of canine semen at 5°C

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of addition of egg yolk (EY) or soy lecithin (SL) based extenders on dog sperm parameters during 10days storage at 5°C. Four ejaculates of pooled semen from three Mongrel dogs were divided into three aliquots and extended to a final concentratio...

Description
Summary:The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of addition of egg yolk (EY) or soy lecithin (SL) based extenders on dog sperm parameters during 10days storage at 5°C. Four ejaculates of pooled semen from three Mongrel dogs were divided into three aliquots and extended to a final concentration of 200 million sperm/mL using following non-commercial extenders: egg yolk extender (EYE) group – semen+20% Tris-EYE; soy lecithin (SL) group 1 – semen+SL extender with 0.04% SL; SL group 2 – semen+SL extender 0.4% SL. The extended semen samples were stored at 5°C and were evaluated for sperm mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), plasma membrane integrity (%PMI) and computer assisted sperm analyzer (CASA) sperm motility parameters on days 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 10. The extender, days of storage and extender×days of storage affected the MMP, %PMI and CASA sperm motility parameters (P
