The increased incidence of tumors in children and adolescents (Lacour, 2010), as well as therapeutic advances in recent decades, have led to an increase of fertility disorders in young adult cancer survivors. In pubescent boys, the use of cryopreserved sperm and assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a validated preventive option. Currently, there is no consensus on the age at which the semen cryoconservation has to be proposed. There is a wide disparity of care among centers in France. Based on the observation of Nathan,11 years old, in whom semen cryopreservation was performed at his request, we analyze local practices and discuss the indications for cryopreservation of sperm in young teenagers with cancer treated by potentially sterilizing treatment.

Male infertility is a significant global health issue, comprising approx. 50% of all infertility cases. Semen cryopreservation, a critical component of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), is a method commonly used in a wide range of situations, including gonadotoxic treatments such as radiation or chemotherapy, hazardous occupational exposures, and various medical conditions.

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) play an important role in sperm physiology. They are required in processes such as capacitation and fertilization. However, the exposure of spermatozoa to ROS generated from internal or external sources may create a potentially detrimental redox imbalance.

Background: Seminal plasma is an important component of semen and has a significant effect on sperm function. However, the relationship between seminal plasma and sperm freezing capacity has not been fully studied.
Purpose: Exploring metabolites and proteins related to the boar sperm freezing capacity in seminal plasma, by metabolomic and proteomic approaches, and directly verifying the protective effect of seminal plasma on the cryopreservation of boar sperm using high and low freezability seminal plasma as base freezing extender.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the supplementation of varying concentrations of the impermeable disaccharide trehalose on the in vitro and in vivo fertilization capacity of cryopreserved rooster spermatozoa in the original Czech Golden Spotted Hen breed. The control trehalose concentration was 0 mM, while TRE50 (50 mM), TRE100 (100 mM), and TRE200 (200 mM) were used as experimental trehalose concentrations. The kinematic and functional parameters of frozen/thawed spermatozoa were evaluated in vitro using mobile computer-assisted sperm analysis and a flow cytometer.
