ABSTRACT

Foram estudados diferentes diluentes no processo de refrigeração do sêmen da garoupa-verdadeira. Inicialmente, a taxa e a duração da motilidade e a concentração espermática foram avaliadas, caracterizando a qualidade do sêmen fresco. Para os testes de refrigeração a 4ºC, diferentes diluentes foram testados em atmosfera normal e modificada (100% oxigênio). O sêmen fresco apresentou concentração espermática de 3,1±0,2 x 109 células mL-1, motilidade média de 90%, permanecendo móvel, em média, por 3.060 segundos. No experimento de refrigeração, a taxa e a duração média da motilidade foram mantidas adequadas durante 144 horas para o diluente A (70%; 3100 segundos) em atmosfera normal. Na atmosfera modificada, a qualidade do sêmen caiu drasticamente durante as primeiras 24 horas, independentemente do diluente empregado, não propiciando vantagem em sua utilização. A refrigeração do sêmen da garoupa-verdadeira permite manter por até 144 horas uma apropriada qualidade espermática.(AU)


This study aimed to evaluate different extenders in refrigerated storage of dusky grouper sperm. Initially, motility rate, motility time, and sperm density were analyzed to characterize the fresh sperm quality. Different diluents were used in the refrigerated storage sperm at 4ºC in normal atmosphere and modified atmosphere (100% oxygen). The fresh sperm has a spermatozoa density of 3.1±0.2 x 109 spermatozoa mL-1, motility rate 90% and motility time of 3,060 seconds. In the experiment of refrigerated storage, the motility rate and the motility time were maintained appropriate for 144 hours for the extender A (70%; 3,100 seconds) in normal atmosphere. In the modified atmosphere, the sperm quality decreased drastically during the first 24 hours, independently of the diluent used, not propitiating advantages. The refrigerated sperm of dusky grouper is a viable alternative for the short-term storage, being possible, to maintain for up to 144 hours an appropriate sperm viability.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Utilizando bases de datos Medline, Science Direct, Endocrine Society y Sociedad Argentina de Andrología se realizó una revisión bibliográfica para estudiar e interpretar el efecto del estrés oxidativo (EO) en el proceso reproductivo. Los seres vivos que utilizan oxígeno para obtener energía son liberadores de especies reactivas de oxígeno (ERO). Existen situaciones andrológicas, factores medioambientales y compuestos químicos que incrementan las citoquinas proinflamatorias, generan EO alterando la regulación del proceso espermatogénico. Los espermatozoides son susceptibles al daño oxidativo, debido al elevado contenido de ácidos grasos poliinsaturados (AGPI) en su membrana y el escaso citoplasma que limita el contenido de enzimas antioxidantes. El EO induce daño peroxidativo en la membrana espermática y fragmentación del ADN en los genomas nucleares y mitocondriales. El test estrés espermático modificado (MOST) estima la resistencia espermática a la lipoperoxidación. El incremento de ERO en hombres con trastornos reproductivos y su correlación con alteraciones seminales revelan la importancia de la evaluación del EO en el estudio integral del hombre que consulta por infertilidad.


Data from Medline, Science Direct, Endocrine Society and organisms of information of Argentina Society of Andrology were used to study and interpret the effect of oxidative stress (OS) in the reproductive process. The living things use the oxygen for energy they release reactive oxygen species (ROS). There andrology situations enviromental factors, chemical agents that increase of proinflammatory cytokines, OS generated by altering the regulation of spermatogenesis process. The spermatozoids due to high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PFA) in its membrane are sensitive to the oxidative damage induced for ROS and it also contain low levels of antioxidant enzymes for their limited cytoplasm. OS induced peroxidative damage in sperm membrane and DNA fragmentation in the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. The modified sperm stress test (MOST) estimates sperm resistance to lipoperoxidation. The ROS increased in men with reproductive disorders and its correlation with seminal alterations reveal the importance of the evaluation of OS in the study of man consulting for infertility.

ABSTRACT

Evaluation of semen characteristics after hormonal induction of the bullfrog could provide valuable information on the gametes of this species, which may be useful for projects related to artificial fertilization, animal improvement, and cryopreservation. Bullfrog males were induced to spermiate with buserelin acetate (GnRHa), and their semen was subsequently analyzed. GnRHa (0.4 µg) was administered to the bullfrog males with secondary sexual characteristics such as weight > 200 g, yellow chin, nuptial callus, and amplexus reflex, being the semen collected after 60 min. The semen volume was 5.76 mL, light-colored. The other characteristics of the semen were: vigor of 4.80, motility of 93%, concentration of 14.24 × 106 mL-1, and content of normal spermatozoa of 70%. The volume, color, vigor, motility, sperm concentration, and content of normal spermatozoa were adequate in these bullfrog semen samples. Evaluation of the bullfrog semen samples based on this set of parameters is essential for decision-making about the quality and destination of the semen.


Avaliação de que as características do sêmen, após a indução hormonal da rã-touro, pode fornecer informações valiosas sobre os gametas desta espécie, podendo ser útil para projetos relacionados à fertilização artificial, melhoramento animal, e criopreservação. Machos de rã-touro foram induzidos à espermiação com acetato de buserelina (GnRHa) e o sêmen foi posteriormente analisado. GnRHa (0,4 mg) foi administrado à rã- touro do sexo masculino com características sexuais secundárias, tais como peso superior a 200 g, papo amarelo, calo nupcial, e reflexo amplexo, e seu sêmen foi coletado após 60 min. O sêmen da rã-touro apresentou volume de 5,76 mL, coloração turva, vigor espermático de 4,80; motilidade espermática de 93%, concentração de 14,24 x 106 SPTZ mL-1 e 70% de espermatozoides normais. O volume, cor, vigor, motilidade, concentração espermática e o número de espermatozoides normais das amostras do sêmen de rã-touro são adequados. O conjunto dos parâmetros para avaliação das amostras de sêmen de rã-touro é indispensável para a tomada de decisão sobre a qualidade e destino do mesmo.

ABSTRACT

Se relacionó la exposición ocupacional a agroquímicos con parámetros seminales vinculados con la espermatogénesis. En 104 muestras seminales de pacientes con infertilidad idiopática y 20 a 45 años de edad del Servicio de Reproducción Hospital Centenario (Rosario, Argentina), se efectuó espermograma y estudios funcionales según normas OMS (1999). Se agruparon en G1 (n=42) trabajadores expuestos a agroquímicos y G2 (n=62) hombres sin riesgo espermatogénico. La concentración espermática se determinó en cámara de Neubauer, con Papanicolaou se evaluó la concentración de células germinales y la morfología espermática. Se observó en concentración espermática (espermatozoides.10(6)/ml) G1: 21,1±7,1; G2: 41,6±9,2; morfología ( por ciento espermatozoides normales) G1: 5,2±1,3; G2: 8,2±3,6 y células germinales.10(6)/ml en G1: 0,91±0,51; G2: 0,32±0,21. La concentración espermática fue menor en G1, las alteraciones morfológicas y células germinales mayores en G1. Estos resultados indican que la exposición a agroquímicos altera la espermatogénesis y es un factor a considerar cuando se estudia infertilidad masculina.


The occupational exposition to agrochemicals was related with sperm parameters linked with spermatogenesis. In 104 semen samples of patients with idiopatic infertility of the Reproduction Service of Centenario Hospital (Rosario, Argentina), sperm study and functional tests according to WHO (1999) have been carried out. Two groups were formed: G1 (n=42) workers exposed to agrochemicals; G2 (n=62) men with no spermatogenic risk. The sperm concentration was determined in Neubauer camera, the concentration of germinal cells and the sperm morphology were evaluated with Papanicolaou. The results were: sperm concentration (spermatozoids 10(6)/ml) G1: 21.1 ± 7.1; G2: 41.6 ± 9.2; morphology ( percent normal spermatozoids) G1: 5.2 ± 1.3; G2: 8.2 ± 3.6; and germinal cells 10(6)/ml in G1: 0.91 ± 0.51; G2: 0.32 ± 0.21. The sperm concentration was lower in G1, major morphological changes and germinal cells in G1. This results show that the exposition to agrochemicals alters the spermatogenesis, it is a factor to consider in the male infertility.
