Effect of Seminal Plasma on the Freezability of Boar Sperm.

ABSTRACT:

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.

Methods

Semen samples were collected from 30 different boars, 11 high and 11 low freezing-resistant boars were selected after freezing 2~4 times, and seminal plasma was selected at the same time. Sperm motility and movement parameters were an
