Abstract
The effect of rapid dilution (1:8 with BTS or 1:6.5 with KRP) and temperature change on sperm morphology and physiology were studied using boar spermatozoa pre-diluted in BF5 diluent. Rapid dilution of cold semen (5.degree. C) with a warm solution (37.degree. C) caused marked acrosomal changes which were most prominent in the anterior region. The acrosomal damage appeared to be caused mainly by rapid warming. In contrast to rapid cooling, rapid warming had little effect upon motility, glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase release and respiration.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
