This work identified the presence of AQPs in frozen-thawed sperm wild ruminants and assessed influence interaction between photoperiod thyroxine on AQP expression, testosterone secretion. Thyroxine melatonin were administered to ibexes. In a second experiment, performed mouflons, circulating was reduced via treatment with propylthiouracil (PTU), an artificial long day (LD) established. ibexes, increased blood plasma concentration, cryoresistance ratio (CR) for viability intact acrosome, percentage AQP7 acrosome AQP3 AQP10 midpiece. neither PTU treatment, LD, nor combination both affected CR any variable. The post-acrosome region but decreased tail LD+PTU group. principal piece endpiece lower PTU+LD group than control LD groups. photoperiod/melatonin expression might be indirectly exerted through changes thus ultimately affect cryoresistance.

Reproductive technologies can help to protect wild ruminant species from becoming extinct. In addition, the decline in some game has also raised interest reproductive increase number of animals that be produced. Most biobanking efforts have focused on developing effective protocols for preserving sperm, oocytes, and embryos. Cryopreservation sperm remains least invasive method cheapest procedure germplasm storage. Over last few years, several biotechnologies been developed beyond conventional freezing spermatozoa. These include ultra-rapid techniques. Nevertheless, fertility results after artificial insemination using frozen-thawed spermatozoa are not always acceptable small ruminants.

Testosterone is a hormone that predominantly formed in Leydig cells adjacent to the seminal tubules of testis, ovaries and adrenal cortex [1, 5, 6]. production regulated by hypothalamic-pituitary system under guidance gonadotropin-releasing (GnRH) luteinizing (LH), between which there negative feedback [5-6]. In addition GnRH LH, testosterone also interconnected with other hormones: melatonin [14], oxytocin [15], thyroid hormones [16]. has great effect on body animals. Thus, it promotes growth maturation bone tissue [17], prevents oxidative damage brain [19-20], affects metabolism [21], as well animal behavior [23]. addition, studies have noted important role spermatogenesis. Testosterone, binding androgen receptor, regulates proliferation Sertoli cells, maintains integrity blood-brain barrier, meiotic post-meiotic processes germ [27-30]. The sperm cryoresistance noted, however, some authors emphasize [32- 33], while others point beneficial [34]. females, testosterone, together androgens, binds receptors, changes activity interacts factors [36]. Studies show hormone, able stimulate progesterone [37]. It known many influence dynamics blood. For example, passage age, androgens blood decrease bulls [41], adult rams, content 1.8 times higher than younger individuals [43]. Another factor worth noting feeding: diet protein contributes positive animals, increases levels [44-45]. heat stress suppresses expression enzymes involved synthesis [47].

In both captive wildlife and production animals is important to develop strategies for population control. Immunization against GnRH an easy inexpensive immunocastration method that reduces the concentration of testosterone decreases sperm quality. However, its effectiveness depends on species repetition treatment. This study aimed compare a single treatment (initial immunization plus booster with Improvac) vs repeated (six doses inhibit testicular function maintain contraceptive status during long periods in bucks. Three Dwarf bucks (Capra hircus) received two Improvac, first Week 0, 4 weeks later (single immunization, group SI) while three one dose Improvac every 6 months 3 consecutive years (repeated RI). The other remained untreated (control bucks, CON). Bucks from RI had greater decrease scrotal circumference, concentration, male odor intensity, quality than SI there were no differences between CON any variables studied. Overall, decreased although did not produce complete infertility. produced more intensive negative effects, indicating strength effects rapidly lost

Semen cryopreservation is used for the propagation of variety among species and domestic breeding. Mitochondria are implicated in sperm freezability, their proteins prone to succinylation, but relationship between freezability mitochondrial protein succinylation unclear. In this study, six bulls were classified as having good or poor ejaculates (GFE PFE, each 3 bulls). The fresh membrane potential (MMP) pan level two groups first detected. Then lysine succinylome fatty acid content analyzed using label-free LC–MS/MS GC–MS/MS multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) modes, respectively. results indicated that GFE had significantly higher MMPs than PFE group (p < 0.05). A total 1393 sites corresponding 426 assessed 5 succinylated peptides markedly upregulated, while downregulated (FC > 2.0 – 0.5 p-value 0.05) when compared group.
