A Comparison of White and Yellow Seminal Plasma Phosphoproteomes Obtained from Turkey () Semen.

Seminal plasma is rich in proteins originating from various male reproductive organs. The phosphorylation of these proteins can significantly impact sperm motility, capacitation, and acrosome reaction. Phosphoproteomics identifies, catalogues, and characterizes phosphorylated proteins.

The effect of solarium light therapy on selected biological and biochemical parameters of peripheral blood in young and old horses.

The aim of the study was to assess the impact of solarium light therapy on selected biological and biochemical parameters of peripheral blood in recreational horses. The study involved 10 horses divided into two groups of young (aged 5 to 7 years) and old (aged 14 to 19 years) individuals. All animals participated in light therapy sessions every other day.

Influence of Zinc and Manganese Nanoparticles on Selected Parameters of Turkey Spermatozoa Stored in a Liquid State at 4 °C.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of semen extender supplementation with 25 or 50 μM of zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) or manganese nanoparticles (MnNPs) on turkey spermatozoa preserved in a liquid state. Twenty turkey ejaculates were obtained from twenty healthy males. The collected semen was preserved at 4 °C for 48 h with or without NPs.

Isolation and identification of zinc ions and heparin binding proteins in yellow fraction of the red deer Cervus Elaphus L. semen.

During the rutting season, stag semen is accompanied by a sticky, dense secretion called yellow fraction (YF). There is little information about the role, biology, physiology, and most importantly, the composition of this fluid. The aim of this study was to isolate and identify zinc ions (ZnBPs) and heparin binding proteins (HBPs) from YF of the red deer (Cervus elaphus L.

Definition of flow parameters in proximal nonstenotic coronary arteries using transesophageal Doppler echocardiography.

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) enables the visualization of proximal coronary arteries. We investigated the feasibility of coronary flow evaluation using TEE, as well as to define flow parameters found in normal proximal coronary arteries. The subgroups of patients with normal proximal segments of coronary arteries were selected from the cohort of 210 patients undergoing routine coronary angiography.
