• W2002159490 abstract "The overall in vitro embryo production efficiency in buffalo is hampered by the poor fertilization rate. It is known that the quality of the frozen semen may affect fertilization efficiency. However, it is not possible to rule out that the process of capacitation, required by spermatozoa to acquire the fertilizing ability, is impaired in the in vitro fertilization (IVF) system. Although several agents have been proven to induce sperm capacitation in vitro, heparin treatment is still the most efficient method in most of the domestic species. There is evidence that capacitation is part of an oxidative process and that nitric oxide (NO) acts as a capacitation inducer in human (Herrero et al. 1999 Biol. Reprod. 61, 575–581) and bovine (Rodriguez et al. 2005 Anim. Reprod. Sci. 85, 231–242) spermatozoa. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a well-known generator of NO in vitro, improves buffalo sperm capacitation in vitro. Frozen–thawed sperm from a bull previously tested for IVF were treated by swim-up in order to select only the motile population. Spermatozoa were incubated in the presence of 0.01 mM heparin (control group) for 1 h (n = 266), 2 h (n = 270), and 3 h (n = 306), and in the presence of 10 �M SNP for 1 h (n = 302), 2 h (n = 286), and 3 h (n = 260). The concentration of SNP was chosen on the basis of a preliminary dose-response trial (0.1 �M, 1 �M, and 10 �M). Following incubation with these agents, sperm were exposed for 15 min to 60 �g mL-1 of lysophosphatidylcholine, an agent known to induce acrosome reaction only on capacitated spermatozoa. Trypan blue was used first to differentiate live from dead spermatozoa and the dried smears were then fixed in 37% formaldehyde and stained with Giemsa for acrosome evaluation by microscopic examination. The proportion of acrosome-reacted spermatozoa in each group was used to assess the efficiency of capacitation under different incubation conditions. Differences between groups were analyzed by chi-squared test. No dead spermatozoa were found in all groups. Following 1-h sperm treatment with either heparin or SNP, the proportion of acrosome-reacted spermatozoa was similar (35.3% vs. 28.5%, respectively). However, extending the incubation time to 2 h, SNP significantly (P &lt; 0.01) increased the incidence of acrosome reaction compared to heparin (60.1% vs. 44.1%, respectively). Analogously, when the sperm treatment was prolonged to 3 h, SNP gave a significantly (P &lt; 0.01) higher percentage of acrosome reaction compared to the control (68.8% vs. 36.6%, respectively). In conclusion, sperm treatment with SNP for either 2 or 3 h significant improved the efficiency of buffalo sperm capacitation in vitro compared with heparin, that is, the capacitating agent currently used in the IVF system. The promoting effect of SNP indirectly indicates that NO acts as a capacitation inducer in buffalo spermatozoa. Finally, these results suggest the need to evaluate the effect of SNP on the fertilizing capability of buffalo spermatozoa in vitro." @default.
