Abstract

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 $m\ell$ straw for 10 min pre-freezing was significantly higher than those in 0.25 $m\ell$ straw for 10 min, 0.25 and 0.5 $m\ell$ 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 ml straw for 10 min pre-freezing time could be better for freezing of semen in canine.

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 monosaccharide(fructose 및 xylose) 및 disaccharide(trehalose)로 구분하여 최종 70 mM의 농도로 첨가 이용하였다. 본 연구에서는 control (fructose, xylose, trehalose), two combination (Fru+Tre, Fru+Xy1, Tre+Xy1) 및 three combination (Fru+Tre+Xy1)으로 구분하여 Tris-buffer에 첨가하였다. Fru+Tre+Xy1처리구에서 CASA분석 후 운동성이 fructose, trehalose, xylose, Fru+Tre, Fru+Xy1, Tre+Xy1 처리구에 비해 가장 높았다 (69% vs 58, 61, 50, 65, 20, 54%). 또한 전진운동율은 Fru+Tre 처리구가 fructose, trehalose, xylose, Fru+Xy1, Tre+Xy1, Fru+Tre+Xy1 처리구에 비해 가장 높았다 (59% vs 47, 55, 42, 13, 49, 44%). 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 Tris-buffer에 F겨+Tre를 첨가하여 실험을 수행하였다. 예비동결 10분에서 0.25$m\ell$ straw를 이용하였을 때 10분 예비동결에 0.5 $m\ell$, 5분 예비동결에 0.25 및 0.5 $m\ell$ straw 처리구보다 유의적으로 높은 생존율을 얻었다 (80+0.0 vs. 65+7, 68+16, 58+8%). 본 연구결과 70 mM Fru+Tre (two combination)가 첨가구가 가장 높은 전진운동율을 얻었으며, 0.25 $m\ell$ straw에 10분간 예비동결을 실시하는 것이 가장 높은 동결융해 후 생존율을 얻을 수 있었다.
