본 연구는 개의 동결정액 제조 시 동결보호 희석액 내에 첨가되는 당의 종류와 조합이 동결융해 후 정자의 생존율 및 운동성에 미치는 영향과 정자동결 시 straw size가 생존율에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하고자 실시하였다. 희석액은 Tris-citric acid extender (Tris-buffer)의 기본용액에 20% Egg-yolk, 8% glycerol, 1% Equex STM paste등을 첨가하였으며, 당 성분으로는 monosaccharid
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of sugar kinds and combination of various sugars, and straw size and pre-freezing time on motility of post-thaw spermatozoa in canine. In general, the extender was supplemented with fructose or glucose for semen freezing. The extender used in .this study was Tris-citric acid extender (Tris-buffer) supplemented with 20% Egg-yolk, 8% glycerol, 1% Equex STM paste, and 70 mM sugars such as monosaccharide (fructose and xylose) and disaccharide(trehalose). To evaluate of sugar combination, the sugars supplemented in Tris-buffer. were combined such as control (fructose, xylose, trehalose), two combinations (Fru+Tre, Fru+Xy1, Tre+Xy1) and three combinations (Fru+Tre+Xy1). The motility after CASA analysis in Fru+Tre+Xy1 was higher than those in fructose, trehalose, xylose, Fru+Tre, Fru+Xy1, Tre+Xy1 (69 vs. 58, 61, 50, 65, 20, 54). However, the progressive motility after CASA analysis in Fru+Tre group was higher than those in fructose, trehalose, xylose, Fru+Xy1, Tre+Xy1, Fru+Tre+Xy1 (59% vs. 47, 55, 42, 13, 49, 44%). The survival rate of post-thaw spermatozoa in 0.25 straw for 10 min pre-freezing was significantly higher than those in 0.25 straw for 10 min, 0.25 and 0.5 for 5 min (80+0.0 vs. 65+7, 68+16, 58+8%; P<0.05). The results indicated that the progressive motility of post-thaw spermatozoa in 70 mM Fru +Tre (two combination) following CASA analysis and 0.25
