Cushioned centrifugation of stallion semen: factors impacting equine sperm recovery rate and quality (2009-05-15)Centrifugation of stallion semen is an integral part of the cryopreservation procedure, primarily allowing for the concentration of sperm and removal of seminal plasma. In addition, centrifugation is required for maximizing ...
-
(2009-05-15)The use of cooled and frozen/thawed semen offers many advantages to breeders. However, many stallions produce spermatozoa that are unable to endure the stresses of cooling/storage and freezing/thawing. Improving the quality ...

(2009-06-02)The objective of this study was to establish a rapid and efficient assay that would assess acrosomal status and function of the stallion acrosome. Ejaculates from fertile and subfertile stallions were extended to 25x106/mL ...

(2013-02-04)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that act as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression in eukaryotic genomes and are thought to be critically involved in many biological processes. While the functions ...

(2013-12-02)In vitro fertilization does not occur readily in the horse. Recent evidence suggests that this is due to failure to initiate hyperactivated motility in vitro; however, little is known about the induction of hyperactivated ...

(2013-11-25)Hemicastration is a veterinary surgical procedure in stallions and may be needed for removal of a diseased testicle. The effects of hemicastration on the neuroendocrine system and the hormonal response of the remaining ...

(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Apoptosis in testicular germ cells has been demonstrated in many species. Features of apoptosis reported in other species were used to confirm use of the TUNEL assay in stallion testes. Eight stallions with normal testicular ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The chromosomal location of endocrine genes was established, and relationships between expression of specific endocrine genes and measures of testis function in normal and poor semen quality stallions was assessed. Consensus ...

(2012-07-16)Studies performed on stallions have characterized detrimental effects on semen quality resulting from thermal stress by testicular insulation, but few have investigated the effects of exercise-induced increases in core ...
