Evaluation of the binding capacity of fresh and frozen semen to the oviductal cells cultured in vitro

Carneiro Joao Alexandre Matos

The binding of sperm to the oviductal sperm reservoir appears to be an important tool to increase the population responsible for the fertilization of the oocyte cells. However, frozen sperm can lose this function due to the injuries resulting from the freezing process, therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate the binding capacity of fresh and frozen sperm to the oviduct epithelial cells (OEC), cultured in vitro. The semen from ten Andalusian stallions were used...
