When nonhuman primate sperm undergoes cryopreservation in an egg yolk medium there is an increased risk that the egg yolk might adversely affect the sperm due to containing of avian pathogens. Although commercial egg-yolk-free medium for human sperm cryopreservation has been used for macaque sperm, the cryo-survival remains less than optimal. The present study, therefore, was conducted to determine the optimal concentration of antifreeze protein (AFP) III supplemented in a commercial egg-yolk-free medium for cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) sperm cryo-survival. The function of frozen-thawed sperm was evaluated by post-thaw sperm motility, acrosome integrity, and mitochondrial function. Results indicate that the sperm motilities were greater when 0.1, 1, and 10 μg/ml of AFP III were supplemented into the sperm freezing medium (P < 0.05). In addition, the mitochondrial membrane potential was greater in the sperm cryopreserved with the medium that was supplemented with 0.1 μg/ml of AFP III (P < 0.05). The addition of AFP III at any of the concentrations, however, did not have any cryoprotection effect on the sperm acrosome, and the greatest concentrations of AFP III at 100 and 200 μg/ml had detrimental effects on acrosomal integrity (P < 0.05). Results of the present study indicated the methods used are effective for the cryopreservation of cynomolgus monkey sperm while reducing associated health risks due to avian pathogens being present in egg yolk-based extenders.

Modification of cryoprotectants on sperm cryopreservation: A study of embryo development.

Objective: This research was conducted to analyze the effect of cryopreservation of sperm using modified cryoprotectants on embryo development through fertilization (IVF). In this research, three types of cryoprotectant combinations were compared, including Nakagata, modified cryoprotectant, and commercial (Kitazato).
Materials And Methods: Several parameters, namely sperm concentration, motility, morphology, plasma membrane integrity, cryo-survival rate, and viability rate, were measured and compared before vitrification and warming.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how donor oocyte survival rates during vitrification/warming affect both laboratory and clinical results in IVF cycles.
- A total of 12,690 donor oocyte recipient cycles from European IVF units were analyzed, categorizing them based on survival rate ranges: benchmark (95-100%), competence (85-95%), below-competence (70-85%), poor (50-70%), and very poor (<50%).
- Results indicated that lower survival rates correlated with reduced usable blastocyst rates and fertilization rates, while the overall live-birth rates remained similar across groups but decreased for cumulative outcomes as survival rates decreased.

κ-Carrageenan is a sulfated polysaccharide from red seaweed with substantial antioxidant activities. This study aimed to investigate the effect of κ-Carrageenan treatment on frozen-thawed (FT) porcine semen quality. Therefore, the spermatozoa were diluted and cryopreserved in a freezing extender supplemented with 0 (control), 0.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different extenders on the post-thaw (PT) quality of sperm originating from the sperm-rich fraction (SRF) and post-sperm-rich fraction (PSRF) of boar ejaculate. Motility and velocity parameters, analyzed using a computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA) system, and membrane integrity parameters were markedly higher in frozen-thawed (FT) spermatozoa of the SRF in both the Belstville Thawing Solution (BTS) and Androhep Plus (AHP) extenders, irrespective of the post-thaw (PT) storage time. Furthermore, reduced cryo-survival was more marked in FT spermatozoa of the PSRF in both extenders following storage for 60 min.

Nobiletin (NOB) is a bioflavonoid compound isolated from citrus fruit peels. The present study aimed to elucidate whether NOB facilitates the porcine sperm cryosurvival and embryo development after in vitro fertilization (IVF). To this end, spermatozoa were diluted and cryopreserved in a freezing extender supplemented with 0 (control), 50, 100, 150, and 200 μM Nobiletin.
