Influence of the coincubation of post-thawed bull semen with elevated β-hydroxybutyrate concentrations on sperm characteristics. Reprod Domest Anim 2023; 58:1732-1744.

Abstract
In this study, the relationships between post-thaw bull sperm characteristics and hyperketonemic conditions after coincubation with cow plasma or media were determined to investigate if such a condition could affect bull sperm characteristics. Two experiments were conducted. In experiment 1, blood samples were collected from 31 cows to prepare plasma. Cows were independently categorized into two groups according to plasma β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentrations (above or below 1.2 mM). Thawed bull semen was diluted and incubated with diluted plasma; motility parameters were evaluated using Computer Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA). In experiment 2, a pooled sample of thawed semen was diluted and divided into three aliquots: without BHB (control) and treated with either 1.2 mM (1.2) or 3 mM (3) BHB. In addition to motility, flow cytometric analyses were carried out. In experiment 1, the overall motility decreased significantly in plasma containing high (≥1.2 mM) BHB compared to plasma containing low (<1.2 mM) BHB. In experiment 2, the overall motility tended to be lower in BHB (3 mM)-supplemented samples. The supplementation of 3 mM BHB increased the proportion of live superoxide-positive sperm and sperm with high mitochondrial potential, while the DNA fragmentation index decreased.

Chemlal H, Bensalem S, Bendiab K, Azzar M, Benberkane A, Lalaoui K, Iguer-Ouada M, Bournine L. High HbA 1c levels affect motility parameters and overexpress oxidative stress of human mature spermatozoa. Andrologia 2020; 53:e13902. [PMID: 33167064 DOI: 10.1111/and.13902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2020] [Revised: 09/27/2020] [Accepted: 10/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate, by a validated in vitro model, the effect of diabetic plasma on ejaculated human spermatozoa. Plasma of 51 male diabetic patients (mean age 62.28 ± 9.28 years) was selected according to their HbA1c level: low HBA1c ≤ 5% (31 mmol/mol), moderate HBA1c 6%-8% (42-64 mmol/mol) and high HBA1c ≥ 10% (86 mmol/mol). The plasma was tested on eighteen normal semen samples by analysing gametes motility using a computer Sperm Class Analyzer® and their corresponding oxidative stress (OS) status using thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances assay. The results indicated that diabetic plasma affected all sperm motility parameters with high HbA1c showing the most important deleterious effects. Low gametes' straight-line velocity was observed in high HbA1c level, mainly after 20 min of co-incubation (8.78 ± 0.47 µm/s). Also, the highest lipid peroxidation (nmoles MDA/108 SPZ) was observed in high HbA1c values (0.92 ± 0.09), higher than those in spermatozoa treated with H2 O2 (0.85 ± 0.04). Conclusively, a direct impact of diabetic plasma on spermatozoa is revealed with overexpression of OS as the underlying mechanism. These findings suggested that it is strongly recommended to control clinically the glycaemic level and OS in diabetic patients for the maintenance of male fertility.
