Abstract
The main cause of sperm chromatin damage is oxidative stress related to embryo development failure and adult infertility in mammals and also avian. Oxidative stress results in lipid peroxidation (LPO) causing cell damage. Lipid peroxidation is the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in biological systems and causes changes in the physical structure and characteristics of the cell membrane. Due to the high amounts of PUFAs in the avian sperm membrane, its sperm seem susceptible to pe-roxidative damage and is a substantial factor in the fertilization capacity of sperm. The most commonly used methods for measuring LPO or its by-products, such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroksy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), in bird semen are based on the colorimetric method TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) and on the use of a fluorescence probe (CC 11-BODIPY 581/591) as a marker to evaluate membrane lipid peroxidation. This review aims first to introduce LPO in avian semen and its effects on avian sperm and second to summarize the commonly applied methods of evaluating LPO and its damage in fresh and stored avian semen.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitrification by Rapid-I method could be essential for felid rescue programs to protect wild felid in the future. OBJECTIVE This study was aimed at adapting the Rapid I method and evaluating the viability of serval and Pallas cat oocytes compared to oocytes of the domestic cat. MATERIALS AND METHODS Oocytes after collection and in vitro maturation were vitrified using Cryotech medium (Cryotech, Japan) and a Rapid-I device (Vitrolife, Sweden). To evaluate viability, oocytes after warming were stained with fluorescein diacetate and ethidium bromide. RESULTS Survival rate in the control group (domestic cat) was 75 %. In the experimental group, 70% (serval) and 60% (pallas cat) viable oocytes were found. CONCLUSION The Rapid-I method can be applied successfully for the vitrification of wild felid oocytes.

Abstract
Wisent, or European bison (Bison bonasus), is listed as "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and is therefore protected by international law. For the first time, a Wisent embryo has been obtained in vitro. This procedure creates a new opportunity to protect and increase Wisent reproductive potential and thereby opens new possibilities for the establishment of a controlled and broad reserve of the gene pool.

Abstract
The existing knowledge on the bull seminal vesicle proteome, a major seminal plasma constituent, and its relationship with seminal plasma is limited. This knowledge is prerequisite for a better understanding of seminal plasma variability, which is linked to semen quality. The objective of this study was to characterize the proteomes of seminal vesicle fluid and seminal plasma and to compare them to better understand the origin of seminal plasma proteins. We collected ejaculates and seminal vesicle fluid postmortem from 6 mature Holstein Friesian bulls. We performed the analysis and identification of proteins using 2-dimensional electrophoresis coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. We identified 105 proteins in bull seminal vesicle fluid and 88 proteins in seminal plasma. For both seminal vesicles and seminal plasma proteins described in our study, top biological functions were cellular movement, cell death and survival, and cellular growth and proliferation. Additionally, seminal vesicle fluid proteins were involved in protein degradation and synthesis. Seminal plasma proteins were also involved in cellular assembly and organization and cell-to-cell signaling and interactions. Proteins of both fluids were involved in the following canonical pathways: glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, liver X receptor/farnesoid X receptor, and farnesoid X receptor/retinoid X receptor activation. Additionally, seminal vesicle fluid proteins appeared to be involved in oxidative stress response mediated by nuclear factor E2-related factor 2. Our results described the bull seminal vesicle fluid proteome for the first time and allowed for significant expansion of the current knowledge on the bull seminal plasma proteome. Moreover, analysis indicated that both bull seminal vesicle fluid and seminal plasma proteomes contained interconnected protein groups related to protective functions, glycolysis, and the morphology and physiology of the spermatozoa. These proteins and their interactions could be targeted in future research.

Abstract
Conventional microscopic semen analysis does not provide precise information on the fertilizing potential of a male. The traditional basis for semen evaluation is that male fertility is dependent on production of a "proper" concentration/number of motile, morphologically normal spermatozoa in excess to achieve conception. Many independent studies, especially in human medicine, have demonstrated that the absolute number of spermatozoa does not accurately determine fertility, but their functional competence. Many functional tests of spermatozoa are developed over the last decades. Computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) and flow cytometry have become the gold standard for semen assessment in specialized andrology laboratories. Other functional assays, such as gamete interaction tests, provide additional information regarding the real fertilizing potential of sperm cells. From this point of view, such tests are valuable diagnostic tools in fertility disorders and may be helpful to make a decision which method of treatment to use: pharmacological therapy, intrauterine insemination, introduction of classic IVF, ICSI or exclusion from a breeding programme. The most useful gamete interaction tests include induced acrosome reaction, zona pellucida binding assay, oocyte penetration assay and hyaluronan binding assay. In recent years, andrology has entered into a new era of sophisticated OMICS methods. Genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics and proteomics brought high hopes for rapid progress in clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in co-stimulatory genes are associated with susceptibility to several malignances such as breast cancer, cervical cancer and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, but have been scarcely investigated in renal cell cancer (RCC). A total of 310 RCC patients and 518 controls were genotyped for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CTLA-4 and CD28 genes: CTLA-4c.49A>G (rs231775), CTLA-4g.319C>T (rs5742909), CTLA-4g.*6230G>A (CT60; rs3087243), CTLA-4g.*10223G>T (Jo31; rs11571302), CD28c.17+3T>C (rs3116496) and CD28c.-1042G>A (rs3181098). The distribution of the alleles, genotypes and haplotypes in the CTLA-4 and CD28 genes were similar in the RCC patients and in the controls. However, among the patients with a clear cell RCC (CCRCC), the G allele carriers of CT60 and Jo31 SNPs were overrepresented, and the overrepresentation became significant for the carriers of CT60[G] allele in CCRCC patients with necrosis in the primary tumor (P = 0.046). The CTLA-4c.49A>G[A]/CTLA-4g.319C>T[C]/CT60[A]/Jo31[T]/CD28c.17+3T>C[T]/ CD28c.1042G>A[G] haplotype was associated with an approximately threefold increased risk of primary tumor necrosis in CCRCC patients (P corrected = 0.0000007) and with the advanced stage of disease (IV) (P corrected = 0.001). When stratified by gender, CD28c.-1042G>A[GG] genotype was more frequent in the female CCRCC patients compared with healthy women (P = 0.042). Polymorphisms in the CTLA-4 and CD28 genes, in particular considered together as haplotypes, were associated with increased risk of CCRCC, especially with necrosis and with the advanced stage of disease. The CD28c.-1042G>A SNP modulates the risk of CCRCC in women. These findings indicate that the associations of the CTLA-4 and CD28 polymorphisms with the risk of renal cancer are worth further study in a larger group of patients.

Abstract
Over the last few decades, appreciable progress has been noted in canine semen assessment techniques. The common use of accurate and sensitive diagnostic methods, such as computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA), flow cytometry and sperm penetration tests have become routine procedures in specialized andrology laboratories. Many fluorescent probes have been applied to the assessment of specific sperm characteristics in dogs. Flow cytometry enables the observation of cell characteristics such as size, shape and function of the spermatozoon, that can be revealed by a fluorochrome or fluorescent label. The analysis of events detected on dot plots gives accurate and highly reliable information on membrane integrity, acrosomal status, mitochondrial activity, capacitation status, lipid peroxidation, apoptosis and DNA damage. Despite the development of these modern and accurate tools, it is still questionable if the ideal method of semen evaluation, allowing predicting of the fertilizing potential of semen, has been established.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to estimate the effects of Equex STM on sperm motion characteristics in chilled dog semen extended in Tris-based diluent. Thirty-two ejaculates were collected from 12 proven German shepherd stud dogs. The sperm-rich fractions were diluted in Tris-based extender with 1% (v/v) Equex STM (sample A) and in Tris-based extender with no addition of detergent (sample B). The extended semen was incubated for 240 h at 5 degrees C and the motility parameters were evaluated by CASA system at 24-h intervals. Addition of Equex STM to Tris-based extender led to an initial activation of motion activity of spermatozoa, followed by a rapid decrease, shortening the lifespan of spermatozoa incubated at 5 degrees C. Computer-assisted sperm analysis clearly showed that Equex STM-induced changes of sperm motion characteristics resemble the hyperactivation (HA) of spermatozoa associated with the capacitation process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A crucial role for the GABAB receptor in depression was proposed several years ago, but there are limited data to support this proposition. Therefore we decided to investigate the antidepressant-like activity of the selective GABAB receptor antagonists CGP 36742 and CGP 51176, and a selective agonist CGP 44532 in models of depression in rats and mice. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Effects of CGP 36742 and CGP 51176 as well as the agonist CGP 44532 were assessed in the forced swim test in mice. Both antagonists were also investigated in an olfactory bulbectomy (OB) model of depression in rats, while CGP 51176 was also investigated in the chronic mild stress (CMS) rat model of depression. The density of GABAB receptors in the mouse hippocampus after chronic administration of CGP 51176 was also investigated. KEY RESULTS The GABAB receptor antagonists CGP 36742 and CGP 51176 exhibited antidepressant-like activity in the forced swim test in mice. The GABAB receptor agonist CGP 44532 was not effective in this test, however, it counteracted the antidepressant-like effects of CGP 51176. The antagonists CGP 36742 and CGP 51176 were effective in an OB model of depression in rats. CGP 51176 was also effective in the CMS rat model of depression. Administration of CGP 51176 increased the density of GABAB receptors in the mouse hippocampus. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These data suggest that selective GABAB receptor antagonists may be useful in treatment of depression, and support an important role for GABA-ergic transmission in this disorder.
