The primary function of spermatozoa is to fertilize the oocyte, which depends on their motility and is directly associated with their metabolic state. The oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of spermatozoa reflects the respiratory capacity of sperm mitochondria under various physiological conditions and is an essential marker of sperm quality. We determined the OCR of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) sperm using two respirometry methods: the conventionally used polarographic method with a Clark-type electrode and fluorometric assay with an Oxo Dish optochemical oxygen sensor.

Background: Hypoxia is a characteristic of solid tumors, but whether significant hypoxia exists in the hepatocellular carcinoma remains unclear. This animal study aims to explore the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) quantitative parameters to evaluate the oxygen status in two rat hepatoma models.
Materials And Methods: N1S1 and McA-RH7777 S-D rat orthotopic hepatoma models were established.

Evaluation of mitochondrial function in aerobic cells is crucial for understanding the conditions that can potentially compromise their physiology. From the fields of Toxicology to Oncology, various approaches involving freshly isolated fractions of mitochondria, permeabilized cells, intact cells, or animal tissues have been employed to investigate metabolism through oxygen consumption.Several techniques are available for measuring oxygen consumption in liquids.
