Abstract

The aim of this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of sugar kinds and combination of various sugars on acrosome damage of post-thaw spermatozoa in canine. 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+Xyl, Tre+Xyl) and three combinations (Fru+Tre+Xyl). The acrosome damage rate of post-thaw spermatozoa in Eosin B & Fast Green stain in Fruc+Tre was higher than those in fructose, trehalose, xylose, Fruc+Xyl, Tre+Xyl, Fruc+Tre+Xyl (83.0$\pm$5.6 vs. 82.3$\pm$3.1%, 81.7$\pm$2.1%, 72.0$\pm$2.0%; 80.3$\pm$4.5%, 76.7$\pm$3.8%, 81.0$\pm$5.6). The motility after CASA analysis in Fru+Tre was higher than those in Fru+Tre+Xyl, Tre+Xyl, Fru+Xyl, Xylose, Trehalose, Fructose(79$\pm$6 vs 75$\pm$3, 74$\pm$8, 71$\pm$11, 70$\pm$4, 66$\pm$15, 63$\pm$ 12%). However, the progressive motility after CASA analysis in Fru+Tre group was higher than those in Fru+Tre+Xyl, Tre+Xyl, Fru+Xyl, Xylose, Trehalose, Fructose (67$\pm$7, 64$\pm$3, 62$\pm$6, 61$\pm$8, 60$\pm$2, 57$\pm$13, 53$\pm$10%). The results indicated that the acrosome damage & progressive motility of post-thaw spermatozoa in 70 mM Fruc+Tre (two combination) following Eosin B & Fast Green stain and CASA analysis.

본 연구는 개의 동결정액제조 시 동결보호 희석액 내에 첨가되는 당의 종류와 조합이 동결융해 후 정자 두부의 첨체의 손상과 생존율 및 운동성 등에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하고자 실시하였다. 당의 종류에 따른 정자의 첨체손상 정도는 정상 정자비 율은 Fru+Tre, 처리구가 Fructose, Trehalose, Fru+Tre+Xyl, Fru+Xyl, Tre+Xyl, Xylose구에 비해 가장 높았다(83.0$\pm$5.6%, 82.3 $\pm$3.1%, 81.7$\pm$2.1%, 81.0$\pm$5.6%, 80.3$\pm$4.5%, 76.7$\pm$3.8%, 72.0$\pm$2.0%;(P<0.05). Fru+Tre처리구에서 CASA 분석 후 운동성이 Fru +Tre+Xyl, Tre+Xyl, Fru+Xyl, Xylose, Trehalose, Fructose구에 비해 가장 높았다. (79$\pm$6 vs 75$\pm$3, 74$\pm$8, 71$\pm$11, 70$\pm$4, 66$\pm$15, 63$\pm$12%; P< 0.05). 전진운동율은 Fru+Tre 처리구가 Fru+Tre+Xyl, Tre+Xyl, Fru+Xyl, Xylose, Trehalose, Fructose구에 비해 가장 높았다(67$\pm$7, 64$\pm$3, 62$\pm$6, 61$\pm$8, 60$\pm$2, 57$\pm$13, 53$\pm$10%; P<0.05). 본 연구결과 70 mM Fru+Tre (two combination) 가 첨체 손상정도가 낮았으며 가장 높은 운동성 및 전진 운동율의 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
